There is no rational basis for any of these candidates to stay in the race.
Ben Carson's campaign imploded weeks ago. His best showing should have come in Iowa and it did not. He has continued to flounder around. A candidate with so much potential has instead become a whiner because his own campaign committed gross incompetence regarding his trip for clean clothes. Instead of admitting it, he has whined about Ted Cruz all week.
Carly Fiorina has had ample opportunity to shine. But she has repeatedly gotten on debate stages only to enter the witness protection program immediately upon departure from the stage. She never capitalized on any aspect of her campaign and probably will never again be able to get on a debate stage with the top of the field. The race passed her by.
Chris Christie's impressive murder-suicide with Marco Rubio leaves Christie with nowhere to go. He does not qualify for the CBS debate stage in South Carolina. His polling in South Carolina is more pathetic than his polling in New Hampshire. And he will earn nothing but bitter enmity from GOP pundits for tossing their precious Rubio in Mount Doom.
These candidates need to go and free up debate time for the other candidates to vigorously engage with each other in South Carolina.
So far, Christie is the only one to act in a realistic manner. I respect him for that and also for the good he did for our country in taking Rubio down.
So does Erick, “Where arrogance meets incompetence” Erickson.
Ben can cancel that ‘sixteenth apology’ visit scheduled with Ted Cruz for tomorrow. It aint gonna matter very soon.
Why is it that you just assume all the establishment vote is going to go to cruz? Never mind, don’t answer that.
Didn’t Crhis just quite after his hit on Rubio, thereby securing a spot in the Trump administration?
smart move. He always was shrewd an i’m glad he took out rubio.
but there’s a bigger problem. This ABSURD MYTH that trump is getting any more than 10 percent of the demonrat vote.
i live in NY. i haven’t found ONE that doesn’t HATE HIM
Trumpsters keep bashing Cruz voters an any other republican that dares like another candidate because they believe in thees imaginary voters!!
why? because two black women keep making videos??
Trump would be up by 10!!! over hillary if that were the case.
he’s not.
losing by 2, cruz winning by 1.
sure trump can make up 2 points easy.
But not by alienating 20 percent of conservatives.
THERE ARE NO DEMS OUT THERE WAITING IN LINE TO VOTE FOR A MN WHO IS AGAINST ABORTION, AGAINST MUSLIM IMMIGRATION AND IS FOR SENDING THE MEXICANS BACK!!
I am for all those positions.
NO dem is. Everybody wise up.
i heard this crap in 2012 (i can’t find ONE person who is voting for obama)
If by March 2nd, your campaign has garnered less than 5% of the delegates designated so far, you should end your campaign and support one of the other candidates.
Why? I hate when we do this. There has been 2 states. for goodness sakes there are 48 more to go. I don’t care how bad they are. Nobody should be forced out. They are all 35 years old and eligible for President. Only 1 is a question on citizenship. So no. Nobody needs to get out.
Word is that Chris ‘spoke to’ Donald Trump shortly before announcing his campaign’s suspension. One would presume Donald made Chris some promises of future benefits if he would kindly get lost right now, and leave the race, having disabled the Heir Apparent for the moment.
I hope Carly stays around to continue her piercing attacks on Hillary - regardless if she’s in the race or not...
Last time Ben Carson said he was going home, Ted Cruz lied about it and stole his votes!
take jeb with youse
It sounds like you know a lot of New York Democrats so I will not question your knowledge of them. We live in the Puget Sound region of Washington State just outside of the Seattle area. This place is every bit as liberal as San Francisco and for what ever reason we run into Democrats that are excited about Trump all the time. So I guess your experience with this depends on which region you live in. The most surprising group of Trump supporters to me was the Vietnamese beauty parlor my wife goes to. They are all supporting Trump largely because after waiting a decade or more in awful conditions in many cases to get here... they hate it when people come here illegally.
Carson came in at 2% last night. Must have been because Trump stole his voters.
This is not a RedState article.
Felt bad Christie dropped out. Thee More, Thee Merrier for Trump. Works greatly in his favor as shown last night. Brilliant.
Hang in there Jeb!, Rubio, etc.
