When Scott Walker becomes President, he’ll scrap the Iran deal as soon as possible, and become more confrontational with Russia and China.

When I looked him up in Wiki to verify that he had no military service, I was a bit surprised to learn that he also doesn’t have a college degree. _According to his campaign_, he dropped out of Marquette with a 2.6 GPA, even though he had spent a full four years there (fall 86-spring 90). A 2.6 with a less than full load is not very impressive, and quitting to take an entry-level job with the Red Cross, which probably paid very little, is suspicious (especially given his demonstrated lack of empathy for people down on their luck), but he [won’t unseal his records](http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2015/mar/12/scott-walker/where-are-scott-walkers-student-records/). He did, however, allow the university to report that he was in good standing when he left, and was not expelled, so there’s that.

So now that Trump has shot himself in the foot, the leading Republican candidate seems to be a warmonger who is as dumb as a bag of hair.

Good times.
