I've long known Walker wasn't exactly in the genius range when it came to smarts, and I had little doubt that he'd fall flat on his face when he hit the national stage. But I have to admit, I never thought he'd hit the level of stupidity he managed to hit when he decided to try - and fabulously succeeded - in outtrumping Trump.
I'll grant you, it's tough to one up Trump when it comes to spouting outrageous, ridiculous and simply stupid things about immigration. I mean, how do you top the idea of deporting millions of people, ignoring our Constitution, and destroying our economy? How do you top the fearmongering of accusing Mexicans of being rapists and murderers?
Jeb! decided maybe he could make headway by talking about those terribly dangerous Asian people who come here with nefarious intent of having anchor babies. But how could that possibly compare to the idea of building a wall along the entire border between Mexico and the US that was "as high - higher - than this ceiling" and would be built to be just beautiful in case it ever got named after Trump himself? I mean, that would take some serious stupidity to top, right?
Walker did it! Yea Scotty Walker. He's now stated publicly that we should be considering building a wall all along the border between Canada and the United States. The longest border between two countries that exists in the entire world. Well over 5,000 miles long.
Apparently the Kochs left Scotty to himself for this interview and hadn't prepped him for this question. Scotty, left to his own devices, thought he could make a name for himself; he could outdo Trump; he could prove his bona fides in hating.
I suspect that Scotty is going to be joining Rick Perry after this fiasco. It wasn't bad enough managing to take three different positions within one week about whether citizens born in this country should be given citizenship. I think that one convinced more than one person he wasn't someone to take seriously as a presidential candidate. But stating that building a wall along the Canadian/US border is something to take under serious consideration is likely to make him the laughing stock of even the Klown Kar that is the Republican Party candidates. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
