Two of the partys arguably most viable 2016 presidential candidates have found themselves wrapped up in political scandals. Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., finds himself in a scandal involving the closure of a bridge, which has colloquially become known as Bridgegate, while Gov. Scott Walker, R-WI, is implicitly embroiled in a scandal involving two John Doe investigations, one of which resulted in the release of 27,000 emails containing revealing information, although much of the information from the emails wasnt particularly new. Walker still has a chance of being re-elected governor, even with his current scandals (unless of course he were convicted or impeached), although it looks like he will have a tough re-election campaign against Mary Burke. Even so, he no longer has any outside shot of winning the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
. snip .Then, of course, there was the first John Doe investigation. Three of Walkers former aides from when he served as executive of Milwaukee County were charged with crimes for doing political work on government time. Walker was not prosecuted or charged with any crimes, though. However, 27,000 emails from the first John Doe investigation have been released to the public.
.These emails are politically damaging. In one of these messages, it appears that Walker wanted an employee at Milwaukee Countys Behavioral Health Division fired because the employee, a doctor, had been a former thong model.
. snip .The release of these emails ends any realistic outside shot Walker had at winning the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. He had the potential to unify a fracturing political party on the national level that needs both its Tea Party wing and more moderate business wing. The fact of the matter, though, is that Walker cant survive a national campaign for president given the content of these released emails.
