I liked Walker. I think he would have been a good President actually. Not sure why he didn’t gain any more traction than he did actually.

The WASHINGTONIANS put Walker on ignore.

The political class, the media, the oligarchs are the ones that call the shots.

Trump is coming for them, and they are terrified.

Walker wasn't my first choice, but I thought he was ok. My problem with him was a lack of coherent articulation of his position on immigration and other issues. I kept hearing and reading inconsistent reports that he said this or that, but never seemed to get the real story straight from him. I don't know. Maybe he didn't have consistent positions on the issues. Maybe he had some bad advice from his advisers. Whatever. I just didn't know what he stood for, or if he stood for anything.

He's a fine guy and appears to have done good things for Wisconsin. I'm sure one day he will be back running for the presidency in a few years. Perhaps in the meantime, he could set his sights on a seat in the House or Senate?

Walker didn’t gain any traction because he is a chicken$hit little twerp.

His I quit comments tell it all. There was no need for the holier than Trump statements which were completely unnecessary and he did what he accused Trump of. Good riddance.

I think it was that bald spot on the back of his head, looked too much like a target.

Walker is owned by the GOPe, an Amnesty pimp. The only candidates not owned by the GOPe are Trump and Cruz and I am not all that sure about Cruz.

i did too but like Rick Perry in 2012 the debates showed the dude is actually mush in front of the camera and has no personality...

give him credit for getting out compared to the majority of the bozos who are clinging to nothing...

You can see all you need to see in his "farewell" address: he was nasty, did not understand the support Trump has (and don't kid yourself, if Carson or Fiorina had been on top, it would have been same song, different lyrics). He showed himself not only classless, but a liar, because he pledged on that stage to support the GOP nominee, which, at this moment, would be Trump.

Many of these people I could point to specific things they said or did, but with Walker it was always a hunch, an instinct. My instincts proved right.

I agree. I thought Walker represented the best of the bunch. But I guess Americans want showmanship over results. I now have to reshuffle my preferences. I was a Cruz man until he dissed Carson on the Muslim presidency thing. Fiorini is problematic also. I guess my realigned preferences goes something like this: Carson Rubio Huckabee Cruz Bush Kasich Christie Jindal
