so-called moderates were to drop out, if you will or consecutives, maybe that would give a better chance for someone to beat trump. he made it clear he wasn t happy that donald trump was the leader of the pact right now. yes, he s right. there needs to be more consolidation in the republican field before we reach critical mass in this race and so long as we have as many candidates as we do, that will benefit donald trump and i think it s helpful, wolf, to think of this republican contest as really two different races, one involving outsiders and other involving more experienced candidates and on the outsider side, they are getting support from about half the electret but because there are so few of them, their vote share is bigger. because there are so many current and former office holder whose are running, they get a smaller vote share. so scott walker is right. there needs to be that
the problem is the fact that walker flip-flopped or didn t seem to have his footing. whenever he was asked a question, the syrian refugees, he said that s a hypothetical question. that speaks to the fact that people out there are yearning for leadership, not just authenticity but somebody with a backbone who is going to actually answer a question, and you saw that and you see that in maybe the three front runners for better or worse and he was so cautious, it reminded people he is a politician. let me ask on this whole ben carson muslim issue when he says he would not support a muslim being president of the united states, does that cause damage to the republican party? well, look, the religion of a presidential candidate shouldn t matter. article 6 of the constitution says that no religious test will be imposed as a qualifications for any public office in these
tweeted today that walker is a nice person but you ll remember, during our last debate, that the donald trump attacked scott walker quite directly for his record as governor of wisconsin, and what walker is saying all you other asterics, we need to unite against this outsider because we need to bring the republican party to a place where it can get our voters together, consolidate republicans and actually win. i wonder who he s talking to. there is the asterics there, republican candidates less than half of 1% but remember at the last cnn debate, scott walker referred to donald trump saying we already have an apprentice in the white house, we don t need another one. i think these two stories converge. if you go back to the beginning of the race, scott walker was strong on things that republican front runners are strong on, business, economics, standing up to public employees, cutting taxes along the way decided he
another problem for walker is he didn t establish a lean for himself. he wasn t a conservative candidate. he wasn t necessarily in the moderate lane. he was somewhere in between. went back and forth depending on the issue. that made ift difficult for him. in the beginning people thought that would be an advantage that he could straddle both camps of the republican party. that didn t work out. peter, does walker getting out of the race make it easier for the so-called outsiders like trump or dr. carson or carly fiorina to score even more points? no, i don t think so actually. i think what we have seen in the last few weeks is that the outsider space has become more crowded. first carson rose after trump and now fiorina has run. i think the big winner is probably someone like marco rubio because it takes one candidate out of the more establish camp. you still have jeb there, but after jeb you have rubio you had rubio and walker. now walker is gone. and rubio and bush is also stil
her care hasn t been checked on means there was an improper risk assessment done and somebody really, really dropped the ball here. but for that i think this little girl would be alive. yeah, that s a good point. sunny hostin, joey jackson, guys, thank you. coming up, we re awaiting a news conference by the wisconsin governor scott walker. sources say he s getting ready to announce he s dropping out of the presidential race. there are also calls for dr. ben carson to drop out after his latest harsh remarks about muslims. plus, u.s. cities turned into fortresses right now as massive security is put into place for the pope s visit. why are u.s. officials so concerned? can a business have a mind?
