Will Scott Walker Announce for President Today? UPDATE: April Fool!

The Wisconsin governor has just promised a big announcement for 10 a.m. Central Daylight Time:

If so, he would be the second declared candidate for the GOP nomination, along with Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Two good, strong conservatives who know how to take the fight to the enemy and to their own party, when need be. More, please.

UPDATE: April Fool! Another unforced error by Walker, who suddenly seems determined to lower himself in the estimation of his potential supporters:

America needs big, bold leadership & that’s why I’m supporting Coach Ryan & the @BadgerMBB Saturday.- SKW #AprilFools

The Washington Post noted:

The problem, of course, is that his tease wasn’t exactly an April Fools’ Day joke (fake news posted as real), as several curmudgeonly political types were quick to point out.

Dumb.
