Took a shot at the personal attacks and said that some other people should drop out so that Trump can be beaten. So he basically took his shot at Trump there. He said others should drop out and focus on unifying to go up against the current leader.

What he did in Wisconsin combined with the rising tide of anger at bloated over-reaching government. Trump might use him as a knife to cut gov worker fat. But if not, that’s ok. I’m not on pinning my personal happiness to this off-the-cuff idea. So in advance of your reply let me say: you win.

I didn’t listen to Walker, he took a shot at the other candidates, or just Trump?

He didn't take a shot at Trump at all, I think that he was pointing to those with minimal poll ratings...

“I don’t think that will be much of an issue, the lack of supporters is why he’s pulling out. “

Out of the six supporters, I think Rubio will get at least 2...

“I hope you’re right. But can he beat Hillary or Biden?”

Without a doubt and Rubio will be his running mate.

Question for you did Cruz have the same minutes everyone else had for the debate, seemed he spoke less. Maybe cause he wasn’t being attacked much and people had to have a chance to defend themselves when they were attacked, not sure. That was one thing I didn’t understand though, why we didn’t hear from Cruz more. Bulk of his time may have been used in the exchanges with Kasich.

about time. The rest need to drop out for the good of the country and give Trump the nomination.

That is about the most frightening thought that I have ever heard....an egomaniac, inexperienced, fairly liberal, pompous jackass as president...........what could possibly go wrong???

If he’s destroying them in the polls, what does that make the rest of the field?

Yes, actually. Anyone who doesn’t like conservative hero Trump is slandered.

I caught the tail end of his farewell. Sounds like he may have suggested others drop out to go after the *front runner* and maybe took a jab at *Make America Great Again*. If so.... Sore Walkerman.

Good grief, if others drop out, they are not going after the front runner, they are assisting him/her by not taking votes from them............sheesh
