Great BREAKING NEWS.

WASHINGTON -- Once considered a favorite for the Republican presidential nomination, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is expected to announce Monday that he is dropping out of the race, after sinking poll numbers.

According to the New York Times, Walker has informed GOP sources and campaign supporters of his decision, citing concerns over fundraising. Campaign officials confirmed the announcement to NBC News.

Walker's campaign called a press conference in Madison, Wisconsin, scheduled for later on Monday.

No way I expected him to be next. Koch brothers cut him off?

How about that.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is set to drop out of the presidential race Monday night, a source close to the campaign confirms to NBC News.

He is scheduled to hold a press conference in Madison, Wisconsin, at 6 p.m. ET to announce his exit from the race.

The Republican was once considered a frontrunner for the GOP nomination, topping polls in Iowa and winning accolades from conservatives for his fights against labor unions during his tenure as governor of the state.

But a series of missteps – and the rise of unconventional candidates like Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson – found him plummeting in national and key early state polls.

Is anyone else overjoyed at the tons of wasted money the Koch brothers threw at this loser? Too bad it wasn't a couple of billion before they realized the guy was just a train wreck waiting to happen.

"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 wonder who he will endorse?

Some other Koch-sucker.

 

[PredFan]

Meh, I liked him but it's a good thing. There are still too many.

The culling of the herd. NO big deal.

 

[g5000]

Scott Walker is next.

Thank you. Thank you very muuuuuuch.

 

[hortysir]

A shame.

The rare Con that stood up to, fought and won against the left....
I thought huckleberry would bow out before Walker

 

[Sallow]

He was a terrible candidate. Maybe one of the other terrible candidates will bring him aboard as vice.

 

[Lakhota]

Yep, the little union-busting puke bastard bites the dust.

 

[g5000]

Scott Walker is next.

Thank you. Thank you very muuuuuuch.

LOL, Scott Walker was the presumed nominee to a very large group of powerful people. This is just the beginning and it is happening WAY to early in the nomination process. As long a Trump and Fiorina take the spotlight, when they finally fail there won't be anyone left to take the pitch. This is not good news for the Republican party.

 

[Lakhota]

Paybacks can be so sweet.

When you have 17 it's not to early. I predict at LEAST two more BEFORE Iowa and two or three after.

I was sure it would be Piyush
