So I would say Trump doesn't want to be tied to a double failure... Walker himself and now his ex-campaign manager. So I'd say Scottie's hope for a seat on a national ticket just went south. And Trumps plan (assuming he has one) doesn't envision needing Wisconsin to win the White House. Damn! that means Scottie will be looking at running for a third term in Wisconsin. Or maybe Trump would make him Secretary of Labor... oh wait the 250,000 promised jobs didn't work out... not labor. How about Transportation... oh wait he killed the $810 million dollar rail project... not Transportation. Health and Human Service... no failed there to. Scottie better hope there is a Secretary of Koch... no they are probably done with him too. Oh well lobbying for the pig industry or polluters is all that's left.
But Anon, as usual, that means that he'll just take it out on poor old Wisconsin.
Unless the Feds get him on John Doe first.
