Scott Walker Said to Be Quitting Presidential Race

SenorXm/Sirius said:
There's NO evidence he's quitting other than Walkers numbers are in the toilet, and he was running out of money. But this was Tweeted by a former campaign aide and adviser:

Liz Mair @LizMair
One last thought: Walker's timing is good. Word is he just avoided getting tied to a very bad story that could well have been coming.

She's a former aide and worker because she was fired. So it maybe sour grapes. But it's out there.

What "Very Bad Story" Might Have Made Scott Walker End His Campaign?

Today, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker finally abandoned a presidential campaign that had been taking on water for months. But did he drop out simply because he can’t win, or is there something more to it?


Over the weekend, Buzzfeed’s McKay Coppins, a reliable source of what passes for thought among Republicans insiders, reported that Walker’s campaign was splintering. According to Coppins, “a number of Walker donors and supporters” had been disseminating a rumor about Walker’s campaign manager Rick Wiley in an attempt to get Wiley, who they felt was sinking the campaign, moved off of his perch as Walker’s go-to advisor.

The details of the rumor appear to be serious enough that Buzzfeed chose only to write about the existence of the rumor itself—“BuzzFeed News could not confirm the details of the rumor, and will not publish it,” Coppins grimly noted.

Reporting the existence of a rumor but keeping the details secret is a method both Coppins and Buzzfeed have employed at least once before. A few years ago, Coppins wrote about pernicious stories orbiting Marco Rubio, which Coppins declined to elaborate on.

Are you suggesting that Walker has been unfaithful?

It's extremely likely he committed adultery w/a call girl or some other willing woman who worked for him, since they were easily accessible to him and he had absolutely zero incentive to abstain from doing so.

Nothing is dumber than insisting that walker quit the race for the reasons he stated, when many others are staying in despite those reasons.

Nope, you got to do better than 'it's likely' because they were accessible. You are just throwing out conjecture and BS. Provide some evidence or stop, please.

The evidence is that

1) He had a clear opportunity to do so w/a low probability that such an affair would be exposed

2) His own wife is unattractive to him

The above 2 conditions are sufficient to conclude that a male heterosexual GOP pol is having an affair since GOP pols are serial liars, so they wouldn't mind lying to their spouses.

Physical evidence and/or witness statements are not necessary when the above 2 conditions are met.

And the other brutally obvious fact is that walker is lying about why he's quitting, since so many of his competitors who are polling worse than him and have less campaign funding are not quitting.

Although there is no way to know why he is lying, in the absence of all other evidence, the affair is the most likely reason.
 
I heard that Walker was at this party in England, and he was dressed up as a pig.

And David Cameron was there...and.....

Money is why candidates drop out at this point. Is there a particular reason to just make **** up smearing some one dropping out of the race? Your speculation based on no evidence is just stupid.
 
good riddance to him
 
So, we have had 2 candidates who said that God chose them to run that are out.

What on earth is your evidence that Scott Walker's wife is "unattractive to him"? You are pulling this completely out of your ass with zero evidence.

I pretty much detest Scott Walker more than any other Republican in the presidential field, but you're simply making stuff up.

Heterosexual males, notably the most superficial ones, are generally sexually attracted to younger women, and walker's wife looks old.
 
I think we need a fifth thread about this...LOL
 
SenorXm/Sirius said:
Yeah, You Cons never call Hillary names or show any nastiness towards her here. (sarcasm off)

And there's some posters who can not and will not discuss this current POTUS without calling him a name. That's our politics nowadays.

And they are just as much a bunch of ******** as those in this thread are for doing the same.

You'd think you were debating a bunch of 10 year olds.

In other words, you have none.
 
A former Scott Walker Aid, Liz Mair who was forced to resign earlier this year after criticizing several aspects of Iowa's politics, made nearly two dozen tweets with her opinion on why the Scott Walker campaign failed. A lot of his failure, according to Mair, could be traced to Walker's willingness to do anything to win (including shifting his own stances to match what he believed would win poll numbers) and the type of staff that Walker hired.

The entire GOP crop is a failure when it comes to the general election, not just walker.

As for the GOP primary race, graham, jindal, santorum are all polling worse than walker, yet they haven't quit. So there's something walker isn't talking about.

So you believe that walker would not seek out an extra-marital affair w/a younger woman if an opportunity to do so was available to him?

Or do you believe that he would but had no such opportunities?

Because at least one of those conditions would have to be false for him not to have an affair.
