NYT editorial: The Law Is Coming, Mr. Trump

[elocs]

26. Far be it from me to have anything good to say about my governor, Scott Walker,

but he called it when he dropped out of the Republican primary race:

“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,” Walker said in a brief appearance in Madison, Wisconsin, announcing his decision. “With this in mind I will suspend my campaign immediately.”

Walker went on to encourage other Republican candidates to drop out so voters can ”focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current frontrunner,” Donald Trump, whose name Walker did not mention. Trump and Walker clashed in Wednesday’s debate, with Walker attacking Trump’s lack of political experience and business record and Trump arguing that Walker had mismanaged Wisconsin’s budget and economy.

But Trump was not the only one with a huge ego then because all of those other Republican candidates thought that they could be the one to win and so they could not bring themselves to drop out of the race to stop Trump.
