Breaking: Scott Walker Dropping Presidential Bid (Update 5) It's OFFICIAL!

Buh bye, dumbass After unsuccessfully trying to reboot his campaign and latest polls showing his current poll results so low that an asterisk was used instead of a number percentage, unnamed sources say Scott Walker is dropping out of the race for the White House. 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.

Surprise! He's actually in Wisconsin, the state he claimed he wanted to govern when running for re-election in 2014 while denouncing claims of wanting to run for President.

The 6 PM Eastern news conference isn't accidental. It has likely been timed to coincide with local news that will cover it live. His Wisconsin poll numbers have dropped like a rock in Wisconsin (39% approval, 57% disapproval in the last poll) so he needs to pump himself up in the state he left in the lurch to pursue his Presidential ambitions.

It's a Huge Surprise

Wisconsin media has been reporting yet another change to Walkers campaign today - one that refocuses on fundraising. This was on the heels of his change last week to cancel several events and refocus on the Iowa Republican Caucuses and South Carolina Presidential Primary. There was no hint that he intended to leave the race before the news that broke in the New York Times.
