scott walker going bye-bye in three, two, one. gone. scott walker poofed. scott walker being out of the race. i maintain tells us very little about who is likely to be the republican nominee for president of the united states of america. it is likely to have zero effect on the top-tier contenders. because he had less than 1/2 of one percentage point support in nationwide polls. the more pressing question it raises is who's likely to be the next candidate at the bottom of the list to drop out? because in that latest cnn national poll with that devastatingly low result of support for scott walker he is tied at that devastatingly low level of support with four other candidates. he's tied in the cnn poll below 1%, at the very bottom of measurable support, he's tied with george pataki and lindsey graham and bobby jindal and jim gilmore. how long are those guys going to stay in the race? in the latest iowa poll, the ppp iowa poll that is just out today, scott walker was polling at 5%. which is a disaster for somebody who's whole presidential cane depends on them

where do the folks go now, die-hard fans of scott walker, who do they -- any sense who they might turn to now? >> i think that's definitely the question here, kate, i thank you there might be some thinking in the walker camp, as i'm talking here to sources that in many ways, there's so much concern in the establishment of the republican party about donald trump. if they are going to be six establishment candidates splitting up what is basically the rest of the field while this 30% chunk is supporting him, it's possible that the party as a whole is better off if there are fewer of those people if they manage to consolidate support. i do think that there are a chunk of voters who really like what walker's had to say on the union front, maybe they are blue collar voters who have traditionally paid more attention to politics than some of the people that are supporting donald trump who may have been in walker's camp that could now move somewhere else. i think the question is going to be do they, as you say, go to trump, go to carson, go to fiorina or this other group of people, jeb bush, ma

about a muslim in the white house. >>> first off though, nbc news confirming wisconsin governor scott walker dropping out of the 2016 presidential race. this makes walker the second republican to drop out of the race after governor rick perry. his campaign has scheduled a news conference tonight at 6 p.m. eastern in madison, wisconsin. now, a walker supporter telling the "new york times," the short answer here is money, when asked why the governor is ending his campaign. walker has also seen a full from grace in the polls a new cnn poll showing walker tied in last place among all republicans with less than 1%. just an asterisk. for more, let me bring in e.j. dionne, susan del percio, republican strategist and john nichols, washington correspondent for the nation magazine. john, start with you, you are in madison, wisconsin, a state you know well, scott walker well, having followed his last three races in the last four years, is it money, too high of a burn rate? >> yes, too high of a burn rate. i was told by a very high ranking republican over the weekend that there was -- this campaign was

according to a scott walker advisor.t 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. "it's the first time he hasn't called me back." another big-time scott walker doaner who had recently hosted and i reception for governor walker says he felt similarly ignored. "i did not get a heads-up about this decision." i felt like i had gone to the wall for him. i was surprised that he didn't consider me to be within his inner circle to give me a heads up to trust me. since the very beginning of the campaign, scott walker has done better than almost anybody else in terms of attracting very large donations from very, very rich donors. by the end of july, his super paccing had raised more than $20 million. they thought they'd have $58 million or $40 million by the end of this year. right up till less than 24 hours before he dropped out o

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 stood a chance of winning in iowa now has a potential rival who is out of their way. mark: a lot of walker supporters bristled when i lumped him him with the established candidates get even know he was running for -- further to the right i still believed in the end in iowa his past success was with a lot of establishment votes. that vote is totally up for grabs if marco rubio doesn't improve there, if chris christie doesn't improve. i think it helps jeb bush. it leads th

it wasn't so much donald trump as it was scott walker. i think it had to do with scott walker. what i think is unfortunate about this statement is you cannot simply go on television and allude to donald trump then ask 16 other people unknown to have one remaining candidate without identifying who you are supporting. it would have been much more credible had he said i'm supporting governor bush. and ask the other candidates to withdraw from the race. >> there will be a full-court press from the other candidates to get his support. i imagine donald trump will have quite a bit to say about what scott walker had to say about him tonight. thank you for joining us. it's where great ideas and vital data are stored. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions from a trusted it partner. including cloud and hosting services - all backed by an industry leading broadband network and people committed to helping you grow your business. you get a company that's more than just the sum of it's parts. centurylink. your link to what's next. to help those in need. here to volunteer when

sources say the wisconsin governor scott walker about to drop out of the race for the white house. we're standing by for a news conference. we'll have live coverage. walker has gone from an early leader to an also ran in the gop presidential campaign. he shows up at less than half of 1% in our latest poll. all this comes as the issue of religion throws the republican race a bit into turmoil right now. ben carson is doubling down on his controversial comment that a muslim should not be president. and now he says any u.s. president should be sworn in on a stack of bibles and not a quran. a leading muslim american group says carson is unfit to lead the country. our latest cnn/orc poll taken before these remarks shows carson has slipped into third place with carly fiorina surging into second after a very strong debate performance. donald trump who triggered the controversy is still dodging questions about president obama's religion and place of birth. trump also slipped in our poll but still leading, down eight points. i'll speak with andre carson, one of two muslim leaders in the congr

scott walker of wisconsin, the union chris seder is dropping out of the presidential race. walker's campaign says the main ise -- the main colbert money. front runner in iowa, now out of the race, what happened to him? scott: you ride to the polls, you raise more money, you publicize how much money you ,aise, you get to the debates you rise in the polls. he did the opposite. worsening poll numbers, worsening fundraising, and horrible candidate performance. ours i believe a friend of , mississippi former governor, likes to say the good get better and the bad gets worse. there is no doubt it has been bad for scott walker for a while . once you are in that downward spiral it is hard to get out of it. we think of politics as political athleticism, are you able to play in the major league cf can you think back on 2008 when people thought mitt romney on paper was going to be the nominee. skills.have the scott walker is in that same mold. great on paper, not great actually out there. just didn't have what it took to play at a big league level. scott: he did poorly in the first and

scott walker isn't 50. he has potentially a lot of political future ahead of him, although i will tell you this campaign has been an absolute mess. he has been failed from the start of it on messaging. and interestingly enough, he was even failed at the end. it's amazing you would exit a presidential race by declaring that you are going to lead by quitting and clearing the field. it speaks to the kind of tin ear that he's had as regards this whole ear. and my sense is, my sense is that he may himself have started to realize that he just didn't -- he just didn't get this year. >> you know, you point to his final announcement, which was truly bizarre. i mean, look, we've got two of these so far. we had rick perry. and rick perry's was generally upbeat. it was very religious. but it was upbeat. it was sort of like, well, you go get them next time, this just didn't work out. walker seemed like someone under duress. if you showed that video to someone, you'd think he'd gotten indicted or something just based on

incredible to think scott walker's presidential campaign lasted 70 days. was running second nationally, first in iowa but amid the roading support and finances walker is half. after bowling out yesterday in the wisconsin governor called on other current republican long shots to do the same and rally against donald trump. >> i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters convoke as on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front runner. >> walker had a lot of may get donors. the race is on among the other candidates to gather up walker supporters. a super pac supported him, $20 million earlier this summer and had a $9 million least age and by beginning this month. sandra: thank you. joining us on the phone is one of walker's top fund-raisers, good morning to. >> good morning. sandra: you have been loyal to scott walker for a long time, you grieve the lot of money for him. what do you make of this? >> no crybabies in politics. years ago, when he got p

in this field people on the conservative side want to see somebody who is the anti-politician, scott walkerp looking like just another one out of washington. >>> today's "news nation" gut check -- do you think walker's exit from the race will help stop trump's raise? go to newsnation.msnbc.com to cast that vote. we'll be right back. zazzies.

scott walker hanging it up. there, senator, again, someone who had no shortage of money but fundraises were getting nervous he wasn't bringing his "a" game, particularfully iowa. where is your "a" game? does your "a" game have to be in iowa? new hampshire? do you have to win one of those? >> i think we are very unusually situated because we -- there are a number of candidates that have to win iowa to be viable. other candidates who have to win new hampshire. i don't think we have to win any of the early states but unlike most of the field, we are very well-positioned in iowa. an incredible leadership team. the strongest loo -- >> even if you don't win iowa or new hampshire, you're still going on, you -- >> i have -- >> you have to do second or third. >> i think we're positioned where we can win in iowa, we can minimum in new hampshire and south carolina. the we will do well in all three. i think we'll do well in nevada. but then ten days after south carolina, is super tuesday, the primary, all southern states, e

scott walker was at 15% in that poll. and donald trump long before announcing his candidacy was down to 1% in that february poll in iowa. in january on this program i suggested that scott walker was looking like the tim pawlenty of this campaign. four years ago tim pawlentpawle like scott walker, appeared to have the best republican resume in the field but tim pawlenty fizzled on the republican stage as a spiritless public speaker and debater. scott walker turned out to be a much less authority tative or compelling public speaker than even tim pawlenty, so who knows how low scott walker would be polling today if donald trump didn't happen. of course, donald trump did get into the race. and in the latest cnn/national poll donald trump is the front runner with 24% and scott walker registered at less than half o 1% in that cnn poll. and so now we have the latest republican strategy for stopping donald trump. have hopeless republican candidates drop out of the race and leave trump to fight four or five candidates who have a r

with governor scott walker suspending the campaign the gop field now down to 15. that is a large crowd of candidates. in making his exit walker issued an appeal to other candidates to narrow the field in order to challenge frontrunner donald trump. >> i encourage other presidential candidates to do the same so the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positivity, conservative alternative to the current frontrunner. >> but other republican candidates, some of them are not ready to end their presidential pursuit. >> the fact is we are having a competiti competition. the competition of ideas and personality and approach and vision will be what will determine this. >> another among the gop candidate involves doctor ben carson is coming under fire for saying a muslim could not be president of the united states. >> shame on doctor carson. shame on any person who spews such evil rhetoric. >> he needs to be removed from the presidential race because his opinions are will not in line with the constitution. >> carson is not shying away he's doubl

a stunning drop for governor scott walker. while we wait, senior political correspondent mike manual is here with details of a campaign that has changed trajectory. mike? >> good evening. scott walker's campaign was off to a fast start, red hot in iowa and of the initial frontrunner. but with a crowded gop field, fundraising became more and more difficult. in fact, the latest poll from cnn shows walker has dropped below 1% support. many conservatives expected walker to take on public sector unions and winning, but his performance was considered mediocre and he was unable to give his campaign a shot in the arm. now the debate is all political outsiders. >> ben carson is dealing with flagging support in the latest cnn polls and a religious controversy somewhat of his own making. donald trump continues to lead with 24% support, but he slipped eight points. carly fiorina has jumped up to second place with 15% after being widely seen as the winner of last week's gop debate. dr. carson slipped to third with 14%. senator marco rubio

that was scott walker's problem.they want to knock out trump, they got to find an establishment guy who can be compelling, who can be passionate, who can be -- if you disagree with trump on birth right citizenship and the border war and all that other stuff, you got to be able to do with some passion and hammer him. otherwise right now he's going to win iowa and he's going to win new hampshire and after that all bets are off and they'll be the ones wishing they hadn't signed the pledge. >> all right. mark steyn. thank you for being with us. carly fiorina, can she keep this momentum going? newt gingrich weighs in on why the outsider candidates are connecting so well with you, the american people. frank luntz is here to explain which ads are resonates best among you the voters and which ones are falling flat. my constipation and belly pain have my stomach feeling all knotted up. i've tried laxatives... but my symptoms keep returning. my constipation feels like a pile of bricks... that keeps coming back. linzess can hel
