He could try to run a campaign that’s on a shoe string budget.

“If Walker is pulling out because of his poll numbers, then why are Gilmore, Graham, etc., in the race at all? “

Because Walker was actually running for the nomination, whereas all the rest of those zero-funded, zero-polling putzes like Graham are in the race solely as mouthpieces for the GOPe to attack the non-establishment candidates.

I like Rubio but I can’t get over the immigration thing.

Right. It’s very sad because he has a good record. He was initially my top choice.

Labor union thugs will be happy

Or maybe they'll be very unhappy, now that he has more time to focus like a laser on their corrupt ways.

No chance Walker is the VP. Paul Ryan ruined that for him when he couldn’t even nail down his home state.

VP is going to be Kasich (Ohio) or Rubio (Florida). MAYBE someone from Virginia but I don’t know who that could be.

Next, Jindal? Huck?

I figured Jindal, Graham, or Pataki would drop out before Walker. Huckabee has a die-hard three percent or do that will keep him in the spotlight.

"Depending on who wins the nomination, he may be in good for VP spot."

I'm thinking Secretary of Labor. Wouldn't that put Trumpka's panties in a bunch?

Actually, having some of the more conservative candidates drop would concentrate the votes while the Republicrats are still diluted.

I’m concerned about who will pick up his supporters. Does he have any left?

Well, there's the Koch Brothers, the Chamber of Commerce and Cheap Labor lobbyists...but they all have the same agenda.

Scott Walker is dropping out of the presidential race
Business Insider ^ | 09/21/2015 | Hunter Walker
Posted on 9/21/2015, 1:27:04 PM by SeekAndFind

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was once seen as a potential dark horse in the GOP presidential primary, but a New York Times report attributed to “three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity” suggested he plans to drop out of the race Monday evening. Walker has a news conference scheduled for 6 p.m.

The Times’ Patrick Healy and Alexander Burns wrote that Walker “concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign.” Walker’s campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Business Insider.

I like Rubio but I can’t get over the immigration thing.

I heard Rubio speak on immigration the other day, and what he had to say was OK. But I know some here have concerns over him on that issue, so I will pay attention when I hear him speak on that.
