Stanley Hubbard, MN bundler pulled his support. Koch boys still not significantly in the game, for anyone. They are the WWII equivalent of the battleship. When they unload, it will be a different game.

A lot of Presidential candidates drop out but still see their political fortunes enhanced by their runs. A decent showing can mean being tabbed as the eventual nominee's running mate, a cabinet position if that candidate's party wins the general election, or a future Presidential bid strengthened by a solid showing the first time around.
But this? A complete and total crash and burn, being outdone by the likes of a narcissistic reality TV show host, a doctor, and a failed CEO? To say nothing of the embarrassment of trailing the likes of Christie, Huckabee and Santorum. Stick a fork in him. It's not just Walker's Presidential bid this time that's finished - his future national ambitions are over, too.
And this was supposed to be 'the strongest GOP Presidential field in decades'...

To be honest field is beyond strong, it's brutal out there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fiorina or Carson would call it quits next month.

I have no use for Walker, but it really underscores the flaws in our system. Without the backing of a rich guy, you have no chance to stay in or be heard. That limits who we get to vote for as surely as the Ayatollah picking candidates for elections in Iran.
My favorite Republicans are still in the race ... Huckabee and Piyush still have a chance to make it ... I don't think either one of these guys will ever quit. Piyush is still clinging to his 1/2 percent. With Scott Walker done, I hope he can reach 3/4 % ... which would be great.
The uneducated, earnest-looking simpleton from the cheese head State, goes down in flames, AS EXPECTED. He was soundly and thoroughly rejected, which is a clear indication that as Wisconsin goes, so NOT goes the nation. Republicans have ruined Wisconsin under this idiot's watch, and will continue to do so as long as this suspect is Governor. Absolutely shameful, what he stands for as a Koch-backed guy.
Glad to see him quit. He was wasting everyone's time, and a complete embarrassment.
