In both polls, businessman Donald Trump leads in the Republican race and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads in the Democratic campaign. Marco Rubio, who was in Dallas for a previously scheduled event. He was a nonentity during the two presidential debates in which he participated. His staff disagreed about how the 47-year-old Walker could regain the star status he held after electrifying conservatives in Iowa in January. “But that’s not going to happen and it’s not going to work“.
Walker’s departure reflected the difficulty faced by the 15-candidate field in attracting enough financial support from a limited pool of donors.

With so many Republicans in the race, the voices become muddled”, said Saxe. As Wisconsin Public Radio’s Shawn Johnson reports, those victories never gave Walker long-term traction in the Republican primary, and his national campaign damaged his standing back home. Obama was a fresh face, but he was also extraordinarily politically talented, and he won not because of his lack of experience, but in spite of it.
