they were having difficulty convincing walker to make the change and recruiting someone who could replace wiley or be a team with wiley. the financial imperative drove this. scott walker had a lot of problems. what drove him to make this decision was no financial resources to go forward, to pay the bills, and to build something because he would have to fight his way back. i can't emphasize enough the corrosive effect at occurred as some of the people in the campaign began to lose faith in their own candidates. walker made so many mistakes on the campaign trail where he would say something wrong, off key, he would get that covered for it in the mistakes would be cleaned up by the staff instead of walker himself, and that did not sit well with people. he performed well in the political fights in wisconsin, but was not dealing with the major leagues. yet candidates like donald trump, carly fiorina, jeb bush, are playing at the national level in the media against other republican in a way that is robust. walker had not been able to replicate that performance. john: while there was no moment that was akin to ric

the imperative to not get around is fundraising. having trouble to get other people to donate to walker. he was having trouble convincing his current fundraisers he needed to shake of his team. the ship had sunk some -- had sunk so much. it was difficult to recruit anybody to come in. mark: they saw the polls going down and couldn't use a strategy to deter that. the move they decided to make he could have either play the establishment or played the antiestablishment game. when they decided they were going for the antiestablishment route, that put him in donald trump's crosshairs. no candidate has suffered more than scott walker at the hands of donald trump. mark: the final thing i will say is he has not only fallen to 10th place in iowa, he doesn't have traction in any other states. walker getting out of the race should leave room for others. going forward, what is the impact on the other candidates of the race now? john: there were not that many people who were walker supporters anymore. the bottom line is he was still -- having a potential iowa caucus winner out of the race -- is good for the other iowa caucus winners. people like ted cruz and mike huckabee. anybody who s

as recently as thursday, scott walker had assured donors that the campaign was in it for the long haul, they had a strategy to win. their campaign team solid. on sunday, the day before he dropped out, his top donors were still busy making calls to try to get people to come to the next round of walker fund-raisers. even top donors and fund-raisers had no idea he was getting out. the next day, boom, scott walker was out with no warning. one donor who just gave $200,000 to his super pac told reporters today he learned the news that scott walker was quitting from a reporter. "i had just got out of a meeting and got a call from a reporter telling me about it. all of a sudden, calls started pouring in. i would say it was surprising." another donor whose family donated $5 million to scott walker's super pac apparently also felt blindsided. according to a scott walker advisor. that donor was in the middle of organizing a huge bundler event for walker in a couple of weeks. another donor said he had just left a voice mail message for scott walker on friday with advice how to improve his campaign. that message went unreturned.

the press, that article read unnervingly like articles i read about perry and walker before their very shockingly early exits. >> yeah, it's terrifying. i would be absolutely terrified if i were jeb bush or his team. he was supposed to be the front-runner, or then when trump made his surge that no one was anticipating, jeb was at least supposed to be the not trump guy. he was supposed to be the one that we were eventually going to wind up with. i think that the republican party is really going through a major existential crisis right now where anybody who seems willing to work within the layers of government is a non-starter. john boehner say non-starter. jeb bush has almost no support in the polls. the difference between the party establishment and the party base looks a lot like two totally distinct parties, which is why anybody who appears to be an outsider, whether it's donald trump or ben carson or anybody but boehner is the better -- i think it's why rubio is above jeb in the polls. i think it's only because people don't know who marco rubio is yet. he just seems like a new face and all they want is something other than the republican brand. >> and jess, you hit on something, and michael, i

the candidates about that very thing. scott walker telegraphed that conversation in so many ways because like you said it is kind of odd to go out and say i'm going to take one for the team. >> so that is a lot of back channel noise, i believe, that's beginning to occur that the part party is looking to whittle this field. no kiddie table potentially. the number on the stage reduced. and this is beginning to focus like a laser on trumping donald trump, to get him off of that stage or at least to its edge where he falls off sometime before iowa. >> that i think is very clearly the kind of conversation happening. it leaves of course -- it leaves i think a lot of donors looking at jeb bush, john kasich, marco rubio as sort of the remaining folks that i think have been basically the favorites of the donor class so far. and part of what the walker thing says to me again is look, just because jeb bush fund-raising in name, doesn't mean he takes this either or that he survives. i mean, he has to start doing things at some point to turn around his campaign. >> i think you've got to be careful there, chris, because the bush team is a very sophisticated smart team and while everyo

seeing is that donald trump is getting some of scott walker's fundraising, the people who are running his fundraising side and some of jeb bush's team, no,ing to donald trump right now. there's a clear shake up here happening. what we've seen is the master of the art of the deal. this is an amazing deal that they just set. you have donald trump technically toned it down. i actually disagree with you, scotty, i think he went through a series of seven or eight issues that we have not heard him go into detail about from obamacare to infrastructure spending to going into a little bit more detail about the iran deal to comprehensive -- i actually think that he was looking at immigration reform from a comprehensive standpoint what the democratic and republican party have been coming together on except for the wall here. so seeing a more reasonable donald trump here. obviously he's a showman so there's going to be a little bit more extra flavor. but if i were jeb bush, i would be seriously concerned about his campaign >> i think he is seriously concerned and now why you're seeing these attack ads coming out. but donald trump had an interes
