Because he is a really bad candidate for President. I enjoyed when he had different stances on immigration 4 days in a row.

It was kinda hard for me to articulate why he wasn't going to make it; usually it led to me saying something like "he's going to get torn apart when one of the Koch brothers does not have his hand directly up his rear end working his mouth like a puppet" (Empty Suit) or "America is not ready for its first Simple president" (Guys I'm sorry he's just Too Dumb).

I mean I figured he'd hold it together for a while longer, though.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

With any luck Walker being shown to be a drooling idiot on national TV multiple times will shake things up in Wisconsin. Then again I don't know if the D party has much of a competent machine in place there- the recall was pathetic.

Walker has a history of quitting early if it looks like he won't win.

Rocks posted:

I want to know Joementum's hot take on what will happen now that Walker is out. Is Trump still a 0% chance of winning the nomination?

Yes! In fact, this makes it even less likely that Trump will get delegates. Any winnowing of the field is to the disadvantage of Trump.

Jeb! and Rubio are already reported to be scooping up Walker donors and staff, which is to be expected. It'll be interesting to see if any of the second tier candidates get hot coming out of this.

But in the end, this is another data point to suggest that the normal rules of primary campaign are still in force. Walker ran out of resources and had to drop out despite vast Super PAC funding.

I think Graham will be in it to the convention. I think he's powered entirely by hate at this point, and his hate will not be contained.

Just last week Nate Silver was saying that Walker was underpriced and a sure buy on the betting markets and that Walker's poor numbers didn't mean anything.

This is going to be a rough cycle for Nate Silver.

How does Scott's demise effect Trump? Do the fates of Pataki and Gillmore also hold sway over Donald's?

No. Fiorina is this month's Carson. And Trump isn't trying to be the nominee.

You're also forgetting Bush, with his hundreds of millions of dollars, and Kasich, with him being a sort of compromise candidate.

Trump's head is actually a gom jabbar, a box which contains psychic pain and harrowing. boxes are cube-shaped.

Scott Walker building his campaign on union busting when our economy is very obviously doing fine probably wasn't doing him any favors. What's the argument, Scott? That Labor Unions are keeping wages low in the half of the country that runs right to work laws? :shrug: I guess he just wasn't ready to run a presidential campaign during a strong economy.

I bet there's some really pissed off donors right now

His investors are going to be fleeing in droves because this just looks terrible and destroys their reputation if they're ever tainted by the merest association. On top of that, the last company he was "CEO" of is suing him for mega millions and is likely to prevail because he is really really lovely at covering his tracks. Failing that, making medicine for AIDS patients 4000x more expensive is a surefire way to piss off someone who has nothing to lose and access to a gun.
