A video from the scene of Scott Walker’s campaign launch reveals that a very small crowd is gathering to support the Republican presidential hopeful as he launches his run for the White House.
Andrew LaCombe of Fox11 tweeted video of a very small line forming to see Scott Walker launch his presidential campaign:

LaCombe also tweeted a picture that showed nearly as many volunteers lining up to get their free passes as there are supporters in the video:

The line of Walker supporters is nothing compared to the crowd that Bernie Sanders drew in Madison:
Walker’s line is much worse than the crowd that lined up for Hillary Clinton’s first campaign rally:
Hours before the Clinton and Sanders events, big crowds were waiting to get in. The 90 minutes before Scott Walker’s event look like either a slow day at the flea market or a really busy garage sale. Earlier this year the media was hyping Walker, but the bloom quickly fell off the rose as Walker committed gaffe after gaffe. Gov. Walker was so error prone that he avoided the media for months. The result has been sagging national poll numbers, and a candidate that has been passed by the likes of Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump.
Scott Walker isn’t the hot property that he thought he would be. Walker’s supporters may straggle in, but they don’t seem very enthusiastic or eager to get in the door.
In other words, Scott Walker is the typical Republican candidate for president.
