The Republicans who run the show, if they wanted to save the party, would cede the nomination to Trump and spend their money, time, and energy on finding candidates for DC whom voters can stand.

It does seem that if the establishment Republicans are going down (they're going down), they'd rather lose than step aside.

I still don’t get the Carson appeal. He seems like a nice man yes - but a leader - NO.

Carson will implode when his views on illegal immigration become well known. According to him, deportation is immoral and we have to give amnesty. We don’t need yet another President unwilling to enforce our laws.

I had high hopes for Walker but he has turned out to be a dud. Ben Carson seems ok but he would be eaten alive by the Left wing press and they would use his bones for toothpicks. Plus he would be owned by his donors and the GOPe. The only viable candidates or Cruz and Trump.

Don’t tell CW that Walker is down to 10th place in Iowa.

Walker just couldn’t make up his mind whether he was going to side with the citizens and the rule of law or the illegal aliens and their employers.

Somebody else filled that role.

Walker has an actual track record as a “fighter,” taking on the left where it matters most. Defunding Planned Parenthood and the public employee unions.

Don’t know why that isn’t enough to get him traction.

Very surprising that Cruz is not 2nd choice of so-call tea party folks. Carson is outsider, non-politician, but nothing about him is Trump-like or what I’d call tea-party.

Walker’s biggest mistake was hiring George Will’s wife as an advisor.

Possibly the Carson numbers are actually being elevated by the truly “undecided”.

Carson is harmless and is Dr. Nice, at a time when people need to be soothed, perhaps to sleep, and also it is still early.

Maybe they are aghast at the boldness of Trump and suffer from general unease with anyone else being capable of actually winning against Trump, or any Democrat in the general election?

Walker like Cristie have only one club in their bag and that’s to beat up old teachers. People have figured out that this is just bully crap.

Today, Walker is at 3 percent, way behind in the pack

He doesn't have the perceived intangibles.

Walker is done as a Presidential candidate.

Far reaching bad, considering Walker wore knee pads all over Iowa sucking up to the ethanol subsidy crowd.
