1. Was that headline written tongue-in-cheek? nt

[riversedge]

3. I do not follow you.

[No Vested Interest]

5. I did not see "many reporters" filling the ballroom.

I don't mean to be argumentive; I just snickered when I saw the photo.
I guess all things are relative.

[riversedge]

8. Oh, I did not take you to be argumentive--I was

just puzzled --and was not even thinking of the pic.

[No Vested Interest]

19. Anyway, all's well that ends well - from a Dems prespective.

I'm not from WI, so not invested in Walker's elections and downfall.
Hope all goes well for Dems in WI - you all deserve it!

9. Walker now talking of how Ronny Reagan inspired him.

[riversedge]

10. OH, Walker is only suspending his campaign.

[riversedge]

11. he said something about going to church and is Leading by leaving the campaign...

So, he is making himself out to be the hero of the Republican party.

[riversedge]

12. Walker is urging others to drop out also so the Party can unite to oust Trump!!

[riversedge]

13. Walker did not say who else should drop out and now the media -msnbc is speculating who.

[lpbk2713]

14. "Wanted to spend more time with family ... yadda yadda."

      "BWAHAHAHA!! "

[riversedge]

15. A panel guest said this was a sour grapes announcement. He is spot on.

[pinboy3niner]

16. Most of all I want to thank God

That was my reaction, too, when I heard he was dropping out.

[No Vested Interest]

[riversedge]

17. Prior to this announcement Trump had tweeted Walker was a nice man!-now Walker tossed him

Walker’s Collapse Isn’t Trump’s Fault

It was only June when Scott Walker announced his formal intention to run for the presidency. His presidential bid was no surprise; the announcement was preceded by months of speculation and scrutiny. Walker was, after all, the prospective frontrunner in the GOP’s 2016 field. More so than any other candidate in the race, Walker had established a record of accomplishment in office. He had survived three statewide elections in the space of just four years, and had undergone the press vetting and built up the national fundraising network that accompanies such feats. Walker was the candidate to beat. On September 21, Scott Walker dropped out of the race. What couldn’t be accomplished in three years by army of Democrats and all the money and muscle big labor could muster, the Republican primary voting base achieved in three months. But while it might be tempting to blame the Walker campaign’s implosion on the rise of Trump and political media’s myopic focus on the celebrity candidate, this would be a mistake. Like Rick Perry, Walker is primarily to blame for his collapse......

23. Any mention of the Koch brothers, that they told Walker to stop wasting their money?
