Scott Walker will not run for President as a sitting Governor. Do you think it is a disadvantage?

We need to pare down the field and at the same not infight because Democrats love it. If they do, we just help them. Do not vote for a party who holds us hostage for votes.

"Do not vote for a party who holds us hostage for votes". If we actually did that (and I agree with it), we'd have Ran Paul or ol Bernie as the only candidates. Neither truly represent their parties bases, and seem to me more independent than anything else. Ohh and I don't want to forget Mr. Convenient Republican Trump.
Or we could treat them all like drugs and JUST SAY NO, but then the blind, deaf, and dumb voters, with the electoral college would still vote someone in.

I think he should just come clean as to why he dropped out in the first place. No base, no backing. Both of those show you might need to back up and regroup. I don't even see him as a governor again. Kohl's sells some very affordable clothes though for former governor/presidential candidates.

SSG Warren Swan Most were paper tigers to begin with. That is my take. Brevity is the soul of wit.

I was certainly hoping that Governor Scott Walker would run for President 1stSgt (Join to see).
He seemed like viable candidate because he had stood firm while working with the legislature to gradually improve Wisconsin's governmental financial situation.
I understand that taking the time to run for higher office while still being the Governor of Wisconsin would distract him from the timely execution of his duties as governor.
For a governor who is principled, as Scott Walker seems to be, serving as an elected official would be a disadvantage for running for higher office - only because he would not be fulfilling his elected position responsibilities completely.
I hope he will run for President in the future.

A disadvantage for who? Frankly, I'm surprised he was doing as poorly as he was, but I can't see where he was making a dent or a gain for either side.

Scott walkers ultra conservative, don't work with others does not appeal to me. The POTUS by the nature of the job is a person who has to breech party lines. We can see from the last two presidents what happens when they don't reach across those lines of division...instant party of no across the isle. Pelosi did it to Bush and The Republicans have done it to Obama.
