MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Warning the GOP's presidential race has become too nasty, Scott Walker suspended his 2016 campaign on Monday and called on some of his Republican rivals to do the same, citing an urgent need to "clear the field" to help defeat GOP front-runner Donald Trump.
"Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With that in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately," Walker said in a Madison press conference.

However, once Walker began to attack Trump his poll numbers quickly declined. Walkers top fundraiser called Trump "dumb dumb" and from there on it was all downhill.
If Walker is just going to parrot media attacks on Trump, there is no reason for him to remain in the race. Hopefully, Walker can continue his fine job as Governor of Wisconsin.

Gee, what with Obama and Jebby, unloads on Trump.
GOP Establishment to the bitter end.
Don’t let the door hit ya Scott. OTOH, who cares.
What a foolish exit.
Here’s class:

So he essentially has the same message that the MSM has. Trump supporters are racists. Yeah well, I’ve been called worse.
Walker took on the unions and survived recalls and comes out bitter against Trump? I thought this was what politics were all about - fighting - and taking out your opponents. I guess that door only swings one way for some.
So he GOPE all along.
Figures.
Walker unfortunately forgot that the enemy carries a D next to their name.
Yes, I said enemy.
Scott Walker on birthright citizenship: 3 positions in 7 days
Walker proved Trump's point...these RINO professional pols are just marionettes for the traitorous donors.
Walker never had a compelling vision for what he wanted to accomplish on the national stage. That’s why he’s out. And on his way out he made sure to trash one of the few candidates who does.
Trump had earlier sent out a tweet about Walker saying nice things about him and he does this?
Politics is a dirty game...but if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen...
Sorry, but you can’t blame anyone but yourself...I learned that the hard way....
I watched his short, sweet exit spin... My thought was- sour grapes much?
Classless to the last indeed.
He started out as my fave and ended up bottom of the barrel.
Multiple flip-flops tend to make people question that individual’s core values.
Screw off, Scotty Birthright.
Translation: I’m a flip floppin loser and its all Trump’s fault. :-)
He took the devil’s candy of DC GOPe consultants who turned him into an indecisive wimp. He chose poorly.
