Come join our party, not just anyone will do (Part 15)...

Today Scott Walker announced he's 'suspending' his Presidential campaign.


Yeah, breaks my heart.  Actually, I've very VERY happy with this outcome.  Walker was one of three that I had thought might end up the nominee (Along with Bush and Rubio), but, as he showed by his vicious and obscene record of governing in Wisconsin, could have done some serious damage to this country had he reached the White House.  And I figured he'd hang on cause the Koch Brothers had given him more money than the GDP of several small countries (or at least had the potential to) in order to have a puppet beholden to them in the Oval Office.  So all in all, this is a great thing, even though it's surprising how soon it occured.

So this is how it looks now:

Democrats
Hillary Clinton: April 12, 2015 - 150 days
Bernie Sanders: April 30, 2015 - 137 days
(even though he's really an Independent)
Martin O'Malley: May 30, 2015 - 111 days
Lincoln Chafee: June 3, 2015 - 105 days
Jim Webb: July 2, 2015 - 76 days

And the clown car bus that IS the Republican candidates
Ted Cruz: March 23, 2015 - 176 days
Rand Paul: April 7, 2015 - 166 days
Marco Rubio: April 13, 2015 - 149 days
Ben Carson: May 4, 2015 - 135 days
Carly Fiorina: May 4, 2015 - 135 days
Mike Huckabee: May 5, 2015 - 134 days
Rick Santorum: May 27, 2015 - 111 days
George Pataki: May 28, 2015 - 110 days
Lindsay Graham: June 1, 2015 - 107 days
