Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mr. Walker called a news conference in Madison at 6 p.m. Eastern time.

He could try to run a campaign that’s on a shoe string budget.
“If Walker is pulling out because of his poll numbers, then why are Gilmore, Graham, etc., in the race at all? “
Because Walker was actually running for the nomination, whereas all the rest of those zero-funded, zero-polling putzes like Graham are in the race solely as mouthpieces for the GOPe to attack the non-establishment candidates.
I like Rubio but I can’t get over the immigration thing.
Right. It’s very sad because he has a good record. He was initially my top choice.
Or maybe they'll be very unhappy, now that he has more time to focus like a laser on their corrupt ways.
No chance Walker is the VP. Paul Ryan ruined that for him when he couldn’t even nail down his home state.
VP is going to be Kasich (Ohio) or Rubio (Florida). MAYBE someone from Virginia but I don’t know who that could be.
I figured Jindal, Graham, or Pataki would drop out before Walker. Huckabee has a die-hard three percent or do that will keep him in the spotlight.
I'm thinking Secretary of Labor. Wouldn't that put Trumpka's panties in a bunch?
Actually, having some of the more conservative candidates drop would concentrate the votes while the Republicrats are still diluted.
Secretary of labor.
Well, there's the Koch Brothers, the Chamber of Commerce and Cheap Labor lobbyists...but they all have the same agenda.
George Will’s wife could go over to work for Yeb! since he’s got the $$.
Jindal may be a dark horse.
(Ooops...did I say that?..No offense meant, Bobby.)

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was once seen as a potential dark horse in the GOP presidential primary, but a New York Times report attributed to “three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity” suggested he plans to drop out of the race Monday evening. Walker has a news conference scheduled for 6 p.m.
The Times’ Patrick Healy and Alexander Burns wrote that Walker “concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign.” Walker’s campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Business Insider.

Yeb!
I heard Rubio speak on immigration the other day, and what he had to say was OK. But I know some here have concerns over him on that issue, so I will pay attention when I hear him speak on that.
I blame George Will’s wife.
this can’t be.. George Will said just last week Walker was leading Trump in Iowa according to the internal polls.. his wife told him so
There is something about Santorum I never liked.
