Wonder what that bad story that would've/will come out is
this is a few months old but it never picked up real steam but it could have eventually
Chicago Tribune picks up big Walker corruption story w/ UPDATE
True. I read about this when it first dropped, the tweet made me think it was something new though. I guess a development in this case would count as a new story however.

It's Gawker reporting a BuzzFeed story so it's bullshyt on top of bullshyt, but they're alleging there may be more to come out.
Today, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker finally abandoned a presidential campaign that had been taking on water for months. But did he drop out simply because he can’t win, or is there something more to it?
Over the weekend, Buzzfeed’s McKay Coppins, a reliable source of what passes for thought among Republicans insiders, reported that Walker’s campaign was splintering. According to Coppins, “a number of Walker donors and supporters” had been disseminating a rumor about Walker’s campaign manager Rick Wiley in an attempt to get Wiley, who they felt was sinking the campaign, moved off of his perch as Walker’s go-to advisor.
The details of the rumor appear to be serious enough that Buzzfeed chose only to write about the existence of the rumor itself—“BuzzFeed News could not confirm the details of the rumor, and will not publish it,” Coppins grimly noted.
Reporting the existence of a rumor but keeping the details secret is a method both Coppins and Buzzfeed have employed at least once before. A few years ago, Coppins wrote about pernicious stories orbiting Marco Rubio, which Coppins declined to elaborate on. It turned out that a few popular rumors, which were never confirmed and don’t seem to be true, stated that Rubio had fathered children outside of his marriage.
After Walker’s camp sprung an afternoon leak about him ending his candidacy, Republican shyt-shoveler and ex-Walker campaign employee Liz Mair tweeted her thoughts as to where Walker’s campaign went wrong. But she also floated the theory that Walker chose to kill his campaign (abruptly enough that itreportedly surprised his underlings) because of a “very bad story that could well have been coming.”
Unless Walker’s campaign was sprouting enough scandals to last two lifetimes, it seems as if Mair and Coppins are talking about the same rumor. Of course, neither Mair or Coppins, both of whom have deep ties to the Republican establishment, can’t burn their sources (or future employers), so whatever story was potentially strong enough to kill Scott Walker’s campaign has gone unwritten.
We, on the other hand, don’t have that problem. Do you know what the Walker rumor is (assuming there is only one)? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Real shyt.
This guy would have been a Republican Darling and been the puppet of the Tea Party and he has a low key great track record at what he does. He was a hidden gem for them, but the field being flooded with names really hurt him. Couldn't happen to a nice guy

Urging voters to unite against #TrumpSet just makes it look like the Republican establishment is a bunch of bullies. They're only helping #TrumpSet ride to that nomination
