This took place at CPAC. The 2nd grade boy asked Walker about climate change and Walker responds with inane talking point. Not getting a straight answer, the boy asks again, resulting in another talking point. More confirmation that Walker can't think on his feet and is afraid, or simply unable, to venture beyond talking points.

Thanks to James Rowen for reporting it it on his site.

1. Ths kinda stuff doesn't matter.

Keep in mind that they elected Reagan by feeding him lines & managing access to him. They can do the same with this idiot. He's dangerous precisely because he has no core.

4. Bush Junior couldn't talk, either.

They are having a little trouble managing access to Walker, though.

2. to be fair

that young man has a much higher IQ than wanker...

3. He really should not bend over in front of a camera

5. Mostly he just does it in private

for the Koch Brothers.

6. He needs to see The Donald ASAP!

7. A quick stop at Home Depot or Walmart for a can of spray paint would fix him right up!

8. Sad, but given the people Walker courts for votes, he's doing well with his dumbness, "see,

he's just like us! Let's vote for him."

9. The Election doesn't hinge on what a politician can say or do. It's all about who counts the votes,

and that privilege has been sold to Corporations who refuse to let us verify their software for "counting."

"Trust us,
suckers."

10. Second Grade:

Above Walker's pay grade.

12. we know he did terrible & flunked out of college. how did he manage to graduate even high school?

[CTyankee]

13. Wasn't he thrown out of Marquette for cheating?

[Sunlei]

14. don't know. 4 years there and he quit, rather then have the 'grades' on his '2.0ish'record.

Not even the desire or drive to take the next 10 years to slowly complete a basic college degree.

15. Here's a good article on Walker's political beginnings at Marquette and dropping out

Some people think Walker dropped out because there wasn't an election for him to campaign for at Marquette anymore. Looking at his history, it could be argued that he only attended Marquette to be able to campaign for races there. He is so driven to campaign and win elections, and even in college he stated he would be president some day, that he was planning a race for an assembly seat while still in college. I think the prospect of "real" politics drowned out anything college had to offer.
