Scott Walker in Trouble in WI

[Suburban Warrior]

A new poll from NBC News and Marist College shows Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker trailing a Democratic challenger by double-digits, part of a raft of rough results for Republicans across three Midwestern states.

The poll showed Wisconsin state education superintendent Tony Evers, the Democratic primary front-runner, taking 54 percent to Walker's 41 percent in a head-to-head match-up. Walker has warned for months that Republicans need to be active and vigilant as he runs for a third term, with Democrats winning a series of down-ticket elections in Wisconsin earlier this year.

But Democrats have had to grapple with a crowded Democratic primary field that, at one point, included more than a dozen candidates but has shrunk to eight ahead of the Aug. 14 primary. Evers has consistently polled at the front of the Democratic field.

The results are sharply more negative for Walker than the most recent Marquette University poll of the governor’s race in June, which showed Walker narrowly ahead of Evers, 48 percent to 44 percent.

1. That's what I like to hear!

Kick that guy's ass outta office for good!

[gratuitous]

2. If this doesn't fire up Wisconsin Democrats, nothing will

And may the contagion spread to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Michigan.

[dalton99a]

3. Wisconsinites, take back your state!

Get rid of that little fucker

[kimbutgar]

4. Don't worry those Russian hacked voting machines will give little Scotty another win

[bearsfootball516]

27. Better not even vote then, right?

[kimbutgar]

29. I coincide to your comment

[Zambero]

5. Couldn't some soon enough

Hopefully the state legislature will revert to blue as well.

[Bleacher Creature]

6. Other than Ted Cruz, I'm not sure there's anyone else I'd like to see lose more than Walker.

[Bradshaw3]

7. Yeah I've been making a list

Walker, Cruz and Nunes are at the top. Could it be ... Christmas in November?

[Bleacher Creature]

22. Ahh, Nunes!!

That's a good one too. I think we've more than paid our dues in terms of having to go through horrible election days.

We could have Christmas in November every Election Day for the next ten years and it still won't make up for the trauma we all experienced in November 2016.

[Bradshaw3]

25. It would make up for it for me

in getting our country back to some degree. That was a truly horrible night but a decade of Democratic wins sure would go a long way toward making life better for millions and millions of people.

[Cha]

8. About freaking time.. I take it there's no term

limits in Wisconsin?

Beware the Russians hacking.

[Lefta Dissenter]

42. Right

No term limits.

[Cha]

46. I hope Wisconsin can Finally

Kick that Fascist Asshole OUT!

[Lefta Dissenter]

47. It's hard to not feel discouraged

after what we’ve been through. I’m counting on DU to lift my hopes and spirits.

[Cha]

48. Tell me about it.. especially you and all those

who live in states with this kind pall hovering over.

Here's to kindred spirits on the political discussion board! Much Better Times!

[Lefta Dissenter]

50. Thanks, Cha.

Ill drink to that!

[Cha]

51. Amen!

[workinclasszero]

9. Time for little hitler Walker to GTFO!

[bluestarone]

10. Best story of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!

[ismnotwasm]

11. Good.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Nov 5 job

Take a Republican to dinner and see that he gets a good hangover

[oasis]

13. No worries, a job in Trump admin awaits. nt

[FakeNoose]

14. Good job Wisconsin Democrats!

Your hard work is paying off! Let's keep our eyes on the prize.

[warmfeet]

15. Aw, too bad.

Breaks my heart that he is GOING DOWN!

[Augiedog]

16. I live in Wisconsin and I can't wait for the political ad that shows him hanging with the Russian

spy Butina. He has a very happy grin in the photo that has been in the media. Maybe she satisfied him in more than we know about....for now.

[usaf-vet]

37. These could be a start......

I will celebrate the day that piece of Koch loving cow pasture dung is humiliated in defeat. He has wreaked too much pain upon the good people of Wisconsin and our country.

[beachbum bob]

20. People of Wisconsin are finally waking up. If this holds, this would

be the best victory of all.

[a kennedy]

21. and he has the balls to say he's the education governor.......

he completely destroyed the teachers union with act 10. Act 10 was the biggest screw job to Wisconsin workers EVER. HE IS NOT THE EDUCATION GOVERNOR HE IS THE WISCONSIN WANKER.

[Still In Wisconsin]

23. That fucker has damaged our state so much it's hardly recognizable.

He's destroyed both public and private sector unions. He's trashed environmental regulations and opened public lands for mining. He's de-funded social safety net programs and refused billions in federal funds while giving billions away to a foreign company to build one factory. He's made the teaching profession so unattractive that districts are scrambling to find teachers a few weeks before the school year starts. He has decimated the once proud University of Wisconsin- and believe me I know because I work there!

Almost everything Trump is trying to do to the USA, Walker did to Wisconsin first.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. It's become a cold Alabama on his account. Tim Pawlenty almost did it to MN, too,

and now we have to fight him off again.

[Still In Wisconsin]

35. Pawlenty, again? Kick his butt into political oblivion.

Minnesota is far ahead of Wisconsin in so many ways now (Packers vs. Vikings notwithstanding) and you can't let them drag you into the sewer. It's going to take us a couple decades to climb out of the mess we're in over here, if in fact we ever do.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. He wants to run for governor again.

He'll probably win the GOP primary but so far the polls show that all of the possible Dem candidates would whup his ass. MN has improved enormously since he went away - we now have the best economy in the midwest. We can't afford to take him back.

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. "Democrats have had to grapple with a crowded Democratic primary field"

Nothing wrong with that kind of 'grapple'. it shows how many want to put their names forward to fight this fascist clown.

[riversedge]

26. I just posted this in LBN. I am cautiously optimistic.

[Omaha Steve]

30. K&R!

[Scurrilous]

31. K&R

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. All that Koch money

Not helping

[Maraya1969]

33. All my roosters are coming home at once!

[Demovictory9]

34. it means the election season is going to be really ugly.. race baiting, voter suppression. anything

to win.

[cp]

38. Butina. NRA. Russian money. All yours, Wanker

[wryter2000]

39. Please let this be true

Of all the slimy Republican governors, this one needs to go the most. A crushing defeat, please.

[sheshe2]

40. Be still my heart

[flibbitygiblets]

41. Can I get a "Womp Womp"!?

as the rethugs like to say...

[whathehell]

43. Great news..

I live in Illinois, right near the border WIsconsin border and will be e ecstatic to see that cheesy ( no pun inended plutocrat bite the dust..I never understood how he survi ed the effort to recall him.a few years ago.

[Honeycombe8]

44. If WI could get rid of that guy, the whole country would be better off. Esp. Wisconsin!

BLUE WAVE, BLUE WAVE!!!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

45. Deplorables are gonna vote for Deplorables....

What are Independents gonna do? Without a portion of them coming out way it is not going to be easy unseating these scumbags.

[sarcasmo]

49. FoxConn will finish Walker, what a mess.

[TheFarseer]

52. hard to believe a mostly reasonable state like WI

can produce human garbage like Scott Walker and Paul Ryan. Would be amazing if they are both gone after November.
