What supporters?

[Red Steel]

Ricky’s support dwindled to 1% or less.

[RoosterRedux]

Thinks support will go to Ted Cruz.

All 3 of them? Wow.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Did he need his glasses to see the writing on the wall?/s

The writing on the wall is that the citizens want a President who WILL enforce the laws on fraudulently documented foreigners and not change the laws to accomodate them.

Perry and the rest of the Cheap Labor Express candidates will continue to attack those who wish to retain the rule of law and the sovreignty of the United States

[VinL]

As you know, Vet— it’s not potential Perry voters going to Cruz, it’s the Texas money.

Thinks support will go to Ted Cruz

Another two-dozen votes in Iowa and five in New Hampshire for Cruz!

[stanne]

Cruz has support from conservatives. They think about what is going on

The rest of the country, those who are in tune with basic values of the country as it’s supposed to be they want charisma as well and strong leadership

That’s trump. Cruz is ok with that it seems. As long as we fix this mess

[COBOL2Java]

So who could benefit most from Perry bowing out? Bailey thinks support will go to Ted Cruz.

"Cruz, schmooze! Those boys are mine!"

"Lynds, don't say 'boys'...it...well, it's not good for your image."

I fear that for a Conservative to be nominated, the only chance is for one Conservative candidate to be so overwhelming early on that all the other Conservatives drop out before new Hampshire. Otherwise Bush is going to take the nomination. The RNC has changed the nominating rules so that a candidate must win majorities in ́ states in order to be considered at the Convention. Bush should get his eight states easily in the primaries of states that won't make a difference in the Election because they are states that are expected to vote Democrat, anyway. If there are plural Conservatives in the race through Super Tuesday, the chance of any winning outright eight states is slim. The RNC has set it up so that, it is hoped, only Bush will be considered for Nomination. A conservative can get to the end of the primary process with two thirds of the total delegates and pluralities most of the contests and still be ineligible to have his name presented at the Convention.

I expect that if , say, Trump looks to be rolling up the 8+ primary majorities needed and Bush only gets 5 majorities we will all find out that there are rules that were passed that we weren't told about that will ensure that Bush gets the Republican nomination. I expect Bush to be the nominee so long as he doesn't have a fatal heart attack before the convention.

[Cold Heat]

I hope the support goes to Cruz....but I would not count on it..

He has to get out there and earn it...so I would guess that is what he is going to do.

[erod]

[cripplecreek]

Pretty likely.

.
This is the first pebble in an avalanche.

As candidates drop out, their support will naturally gravitate to Ted Cruz, who has praised all of the other candidates, rather than fecklessly criticizing them.

The big rocks will be Trump and Walker, of course, but they will all fall to Ted, the only viable candidate to those that understand our real problems.
