The suspense is over. We can all let out that deep breath we’ve been holding for so long, wondering if it would ever actually happen. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker declared he was running for president yesterday. Can you feel the magic? I knew that you could.
He had to announce a bit later than originally planned due to Wisconsin’s budget being such a mess that even his own Republicans allies are rebelling. It has been an ugly process, to say the least. But he finally got it done and now he’s officially a candidate for the presidency. Unfortunately for him, being the 795th candidate to jump into the race doesn’t appear to have garnered much excitement. After Donald Trump barnstorming around the southwest stirring up the xenophobes and Jeb announcing that he and his Super Pac have enough money collected to start their own country if this presidency thing doesn’t pan out, the Great Whitebread Hope of the Republican party seems just a little bit late to the party.
