Scott Walker exits 2016 race -- with one of the weirdest explanations ever

Scott Walker's latest CNN poll numbers were less than 1%.   And here's his explanation for leaving the race.

"The Bible is full of stories about people who are called to be leaders in unusual ways. Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message will rise to the top of the field. With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately."

Hmmm.    Is he writing material for Saturday Night Live?

Added Later:   Walker later made it a little clearer what he meant.   There are too many candidates dividing the vote.   He's volunteering to leave the race and hopes to lead others to do the same, so that the anti-Trump vote will concentrate in fewer candidates and have a chance to overtake him in the polls.     Walker's way of spinning this as being "called to lead" was just as awkward as the rest of his tin-eared campaign.
