Wow! That's pretty incredible. If you had asked who the first person to drop out of the race would be, Walker would have been towards the bottom. I figured Graham, Santorum, Pataki, or Jindal would've folded first, not Walker. I thought he would last til the last few weeks of the primary.

This is good though. Now let's hope the other cellar dwellers will call it quits so there aren't 11 in the debates.

I guess he was the token to throw votes to Jeb Bush in order to bring him up in the polls. All strategically done.

Let's see? Who is next for Jebby, by orders of the RNC?

Re: Scott Walker - OUT

"Today, I believe that I’m being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a POSITIVE conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With this in mind I will suspend my campaign immediately. I encourage other Republican Presidential candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who offer a POSITIVE conservative alternative to the current front runner." - Gov. Walker

Ooops, he no like Donald.

I lost all respect for Walker. What a sore loser. "Positive message". He means, "The GOP establishment RINO line". He just insulted all those who want ACTION on the things Trump is talking about. Even if Trump fizzles his supporters are not going to Jeb. The revolution has begun and there is no stopping it.

I knew he was a Rhino and would support the GOP Establishment when he threw Ted Cruz under the bus on the Obamacare filibuster. He along with Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, etc. put out their fear mongering that we would lose very big in 2014 if we pushed that issue.

Ted said we wouldn't lose, it's what the American people want. We didn't lose and they are on record as Rhinos. They DO NOT want change.

Now, 7 activists and chairs from Scott Walker have jumped on board the Cruz train.

So, I've heard it will be a Trump/Carson (with Trump putting Cruz on Supreme Court) or a Jeb/Rubio or a Trump/Cruz. And I've heard it could come down to a primary fight between a conservative (Cruz) against a moderate (Rubio). We shall see.


However it lands, Ted Cruz is a fine candidate and will continue fighting for the rights of all Americans. I would LOVE to see him land on the Supreme Court bench. He would do it right.

Re: Scott Walker - OUT

I am glad Walker is out. I liked him initially, but the more I learned about him and saw his way of doing things in Wisconsin, I decided he's not a Republican I could support.

I wish Trump would quit now. I wish Jindal, Graham, Pataki and the other bottom dwellers would throw in their towels as well. They cannot win and they know it.

I never would have thought Chris Christie would be polling near the bottom.

If Christie, Rubio, or Carson are not on the ticket, I'll probably not vote.

If Cruz appears on the GOP ticket, then I will vote Democrat.
