And then there were 15 - Scott Walker is out

[Vic]

The corporatist GOP establishment wants to have one candidate against Trump, probably Jeb, so they are pressuring others to drop out.

It's going to be Jeb vs Hillary, with Hillary winning a close race (but people on the east coast won't have to stay up after midnight to get the results).

I wonder if Sheldon Addleson(spelling?) had something to do with it. I read somewhere that he had meetings this weekend with Jeb and a few others.

Looks like round #2 of dumping Trump is gathering steam in one of the RNC headquarter's safe rooms. Walker's bail out could be the opening shot heard 'round Reince Priebus' gilded toilet bowl.

My only concern is a possible Senate run down the road.

That weasel really would do that, wouldn't he? Can't count the Koch's out as far as their wanting to flood the Congress with their willing and able stooges.

He's got nothing else to fall back on. Politics is all he's ever done.

And it seems like he's got the State of Wisconsin pretty well gerrymandered in his favor to do it too.

Here is to hoping Hillary is next

What drugs are you on ?

I agree but Jeb has his flaws against women.

I have a feeling it might be Kasich.

It's hillarious though.. donors saying drop out now like it's a Hunger Chess game with the corporations incharge sacrificing pawns and bishops to save the knight.

With the huge amounts of patronage payback expected by their Citizen's United enabled billionaire benefactors, this musical chairs game being played out is definitely high stakes with a lot of money, power and influence riding on each candidate.

And yes, even with what's at stake, it has been even more hilarious since Trump decided to join in on the fun.

Koch pulled out.
