Are You Aware That Scott Walker Will End His Campaign?

Scott Walker has seen the handwriting on the wall and decided to cease his campaign for president... His campaign had been in trouble because he just didn't do too well

Well I lost another bet... my pick for the next Republican to drop out was Rick Santorum... but he never met a TV Camera that he didn't fall in love with..

Interesting. I somewhat expected to see some of this after the first poll after the last debate was released. It's expensive and tolling emotionally to keep a campaign going when you are at the point that you know you can't win anymore.

Scott Walker is in fact putting his campaign on-hold (or suspending it) BLUF Still has bills to pay. Regardless, he was never a serious contender as others have expressed. He only had 2 questions in the CNN 3 hr debate.

Walker's campaign reminds me very much of Governor Tim Pawlenty's run last cycle. Good ideas, too Midwestern in demeanor, lost ground, bet the ranch on Iowa, ran out of money.
Too bad. There were quite a few candidates with less chops than Governor Walker.

Wisconsin's Walker exits '16 race with harsh words for Trump

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Warning that the Republican presidential race has become too nasty, Scott Walker exited the 2016 campaign on Monday and urged others to quit, too, and "clear the field" so someone can emerge to take down front-runner Donald Trump.

My guess would be Jindal. His numbers are in the dumpers (and trending down), he has no big donor funding his campaign, the latest "kiddy table" debate didn't help him, he has a state to run, and he is getting heat back home for being an absentee Governor. He may stick it out a little longer, just because of his ego, but he's the one who I think is the most vulnerable.

It is good that he cut early. Save a whole lot of wasted time and effort down the road. Good guy, just not his time.

He called for other GOP candidates to do that same and for remaining few to showcase true conservatism against the front runner (last minute shot at Trump).

I also read that the Koch brothers were asking for some, if not all of their funding back - however, I didn't fact check that source (hey, it was late at night and I was tired).

Sgt Tom Cunnally - Sergeant; One of the better "aggregate" sites for coverage of what is happening in BOTH parties is ElectoralVote

They do have a slight "liberal" bias, but also try to keep it under control (and generally succeed).
