We should all heap withering scorn on George Will for his very bad toupee.

Frankly Kasich scares me.

He was a really good friend to Gary Condit and I believe were roommate with him.

He left office and DC not long after that incident with the missing girl.

“Voters like charisma!”

That has been part of our history for over 200 years.

” I’d like to see Cruz, Carson, Fiorina, Trump slug it out”

Excellent choices! Though one could also add in Jeb Bush for comic relief.

Even when he was riding high, I never considered him a top tier candidate. Yes, he’s a great guy. Yes, he has more accomplishments than anyone in the race. But the plain and simple truth is he looks boring and he sounds boring. And in today’s culture that’s the kiss of death. Even more so in an age of Trump!
I wish him all the best!

Alright.

I’m not going to pile on.

Thank you, Scott.

One of the better guys, to be sure. Sorry to see him go, but this is a necessary move... Endorsement?

Walker has been a great governor based on all I read about his what he has withstood in Wisconsin. Hope he continues to serve his state well.

Go Trump!

I posted the same after reading the headline:

Secretary of Labor in the Cruz administration would be a good spot for Walker. :-)

That’s one poll with a margin of error.
2% or so would be likely... but that, indeed, may not be enough to show up.

“Rubio will beat him on “likability””

Rubio also beats most of the rest on RINOability and stab-the-Tea-Party-In-The-Back-ability as well.

That’s too bad. He was my top candidate. Unfortunately, he just seemed to lack too much charisma to break through

Sad, but not surprised. He has been fading for a while now.

Very Interesting:

nYT WITH THE SCOOP!

When the NYT has access to the inner circle of your campaign, via multiple sources, yeah, it’s time to hang it up.
