Walker's ain't rooting for Wisconsin's team this week

Let me remind you of who our Fair Governor is really rooting for in this week's big Cubs-Brewers series. This is from the in-depth 2015 article in Politico discussing Walker's meltdown on the presidential campaign trail, culminating in Walker quitting after 10 weeks of laughable screwups.

Walker’s biggest political patrons, the Ricketts family, which has contributed $5 million to his super PAC, felt similarly blindsided, according to an adviser to the Walker campaign. Todd Ricketts, who has been among Walker’s most aggressive fundraisers, did not get a call [that Walker was quitting] until later Monday afternoon.

Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs, was set to host a Manhattan fundraiser later this week and had been busily organizing a never-before-reported event for Walker bundlers at Wrigley Field on Oct. 2. Even amid sinking poll numbers, turnout was expected to be high. “The Wrigley Field thing was going to be awesome,” said the adviser. “This guy busted his ass for Scott Walker.”

Which is probably why Cubs fans are happy that Theo Epstein is given free reign to do the baseball operations, because if the fittingly-named Ricketts family thought that Scott Walker was talent worth investing in, they're a special type of self-centered idiot.

And it proves yet again that money doesn't buy class or decency. And it would make any Brewer win over those right-wing Cubbies all the better.
