Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said that delegates to next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland should “vote the way they see fit,” which could mean not necessarily supporting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, Politico reports.

Said Walker: “I think historically, not just this year, delegates are and should be able to vote the way they see fit. We’ll see how things go between now and the convention as to what the next steps are. I’m not going to speculate now only because you all know the situation may change by this afternoon, let alone between now and the convention.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) seemed to question in an  interview on WKOW whether he can still support Donald Trump for president.

Said Walker: “It’s just sad in America that we have such poor choices right now.”

He added: “He’s not yet the nominee. Officially that won’t happen until the middle of July and so for me that’s kind of the time frame that, in particular, I want to make sure he renounces what he says – at least in regards to this judge.”

“Like a tiresome house guest, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign debt is lingering,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“The latest federal filing shows that the GOP governor still has nearly $900,000 in debt from his unsuccessful presidential run, and that donations to retire it dipped last month.”

Gov. Scott Walker said that he wouldn’t run for president again while serving as governor, the AP reports.

Said Walker: “One thing I’ve learned from this go-around is if I were to run for re-election I would clearly in my own mind, not just publicly, have to make a decision, I think I would rule out running for president at least in that term and stay committed to the end of that. I think it is difficult to run your state and to run for president at the same time.”

In a little more than two months, Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential bid had amassed a debt of roughly $700,000, the Washington Post reports.

“A pared-down effort focused on staying afloat in Iowa would still cost around $1 million a month because of ongoing costs associated with ballot access, accounting and vendor contracts.”

Gov. Scott Walker “apologized to donors and supporters for the collapse of his presidential campaign, saying in a call that he saw no hope to turnaround sagging fundraising fortunes,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Walker told donors he considered keeping the campaign alive and making a big staff shakeup, but decided that didn’t seem likely to make the effort financially viable.”

“The complete and utter collapse of Scott Walker’s presidential bid appears to bring to an end the shortest presidential campaign since at least 2000,” the Washington Post reports.

“Walker’s bid began with his announcement July 13 before a fancy backdrop and in front of an energetic crowd in Waukesha, Wis. It ended in Wisconsin on Monday, in front of a drab background and with only a few reporters listening in. From start to end, the campaign lasted 70 days — a shorter campaign than even Rick Perry’s, since Perry started earlier.”

“Looking back at major candidate campaigns since 2000, 70 days appears to be the shortest, by at least a week. Jim Gilmore’s 2008 bid lasted 79 days. Tim Pawlenty hung on for 83 days in 2012.”

Ex-Scott Walker campaign manager Rick Wiley told Politico “he had an ‘all-in Iowa’ plan that would have moved the headquarters from Madison, Wis., to Des Moines and cut the staff from about 85 to 20 as of Thursday. But Walker, floundering in debates and on the stump, was facing such a sudden drought in donations that even those drastic moves wouldn’t have guaranteed solvency.”

Rick Klein: “Scott Walker’s exit is a jolt to a chaotic and still churning presidential race. It also challenges some of the biggest assumptions that have governed understanding and analysis of the 2016 cycle. First, early polls really, really don’t matter. The candidate with the best six months of 2015 is gone one quarter later, without a scandal or an ‘oops’ to blame for it. Second, super PACs are overrated. Yes, they can provide critical air cover, but only if you have a real operation on the ground. Giant outside entities could save neither Walker nor Rick Perry, who struggled with hard dollars despite being established, big-state governors with national fundraising bases.”

“Finally – and most significantly – this most crowded primary in recent history could get quite a bit roomier. If the dollars don’t exist to support 17 candidates, they most likely can’t sustain 15 serious candidacies either. Walker wasn’t a candidate long enough to even file an FEC report; those reports will be scrutinized for burn rates in a few weeks, with the possibility of some flameouts even before then.

First Read: “Scott Walker and Rick Perry both learned a hard lesson this cycle: If at first you don’t succeed – you don’t get a second look anymore. There are too many other alternatives in this GOP field, and the news cycle moves too fast for all but the most skilled candidates to claw their way out of a deficit. Individual stumbles and flip-flops aside, Walker’s fatal mistake was that he tried to be all things to all conservatives. In a year when the party wants anything but a traditional politician, Walker got caught being, well, a traditional politician: Trying too hard to give answers to appease supporters; trying to be politically perfect at the expense of being fresh or defiant; trying too hard to use a state budget to make a presidential statement.”
