America’s worst governors want to be president: Jindal, Walker, Christie — can Sam Brownback be far behind

America’s worst governors want to be president: Jindal, Walker, Christie — can Sam Brownback be far behind

"when one looks at the GOP governors this cycle, it’s starting to look more and more like a “most hated governors” club, with men like Scott Walker, Chris Christie and Bobby Jindal all polling as losers in their home states—the exact opposite of what governors are supposed to bring to the table as White House candidates.

Not only are they viewed negatively by home-state voters, all would lose their home states to Hillary Clinton in the general. Christie trailed her by 23 percent in New Jersey back in May. Walker trailed her by 12 percent in Wisconsin in April. Even in deep red Louisiana, Clinton lead Jindal 44.5 to 42 percent in a recent poll, just as she had throughout most polls in the 2014 election cycle.

Give Bernie Sanders another month or two, and he’ll be beating them all, too."
