Walker Dropping Out
Looks like he’ll have to go back to trashing the state of Wisconsin:
Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mr. Walker called a news conference in Madison at 6 p.m. Eastern time.
“The short answer is money,” said a supporter of Mr. Walker’s who was briefed on the decision. “He’s made a decision not to limp into Iowa.”
Mr. Walker’s intended withdrawal is a humiliating climb down for a Republican governor once seen as all but politically invincible. He started the year at the top of the polls but has seen his position gradually deteriorate, amid the rise of Donald J. Trump’s populist campaign and repeated missteps by Mr. Walker himself.

I’m going to need a scorecard.
That makes it fifteen, down from seventeen goats, in the 2016 Teapublican Goat Rodeo and Cussin’ Contest.
I think.

No need to keep a score card…

I hadn’t heard that the Koch brothers had filed for bankruptcy. Or have they found another golden boy???

Maybe Walker was just the front, the sacrificial lamb that diverts attention from their real candidate, the Republican Party.

Interesting theory, as he did drop out thus crushing the hopes and dreams of zero percent of the party.

They certainly have a history of trying to get their priorities “serviced” behind the scenes, through 3rd party front groups and lobbyists.

apparently they love to gamble.

To quote my fave ex-guv “Adios Mofo”. When does his contract as a “contributor” start with faux?
