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.

I call a spade a spade. Personality cult stuff is going on.

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

Victims of dimwit Iowa voters who voted for a celebrity without considering the consequences....good thing that it wasn't Elvis who was running....he'd be at 90%.....sheesh.

So now you insult people’s religion. There is no cult worship going on with Trump supporters. Pot/Kettle/Negro

STFU he’s a status quo mush...a Reince Preibus Republican RINO and I’ll say it as much as I want because its true.

I've seen people with vivid imaginations before, but you far surpass them all....his entire career has been based on taking on the Democrats and Unions and defeating them both...every time.....

His own aide is spilling the beans:

"Things he got wrong: Misunderstanding the GOP base, its priorities and stances. Pandering. Flip-flopping." — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015

But if not, that’s ok. I’m not on pinning my personal happiness to this off-the-cuff idea.

I'm sure Walker is more concerned with his personal happiness.

His aide does say he got it right by dropping out now:

One last thought: Walker's timing is good. Word is he just avoided getting tied to a very bad story that could well have been coming. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015

I rode lots of Harley's in my other life. Last was a '41 90" Flathead side valve. If kicked over wrong it could break a leg.

I cringed every-time I saw Walker on a Harley.☺

I liked Walker, on his record in his state, and on his presentation when he announced.

The ‘front runner’ statement could have been left out today.

With that, he alienated a lot of people who have appreciated the fresh, unafraid approach - and the upset of the process - that Trump has brought.

Whether Walker realizes it or not, by his ‘front runner’ statement, he indirectly brushed off the major reason so many are pleased with Trump: the issue of illegal immigration.

A witty comeback and very on point. Good job! You’re sharp as a tack just like THE Donald.

Guess I’m Cruzing now.

I sure as hell ain’t backing Trump, not unless it comes to him versus Jeb/Gaysich.

Sad. Best man running, but without name recognition in this huge field he was unfortunately toast.

Ave atque vale, Governor.

Cruz is happy to have all conservatives on board.

Welcome! The water is fine....
