I don t see anybody dropping out that s going to up Trumps % much — if at all. Perhaps 2-3% bump from Carson, but Santorum, Huckabee, that’s going to split between Rubio and Cruz. Rand Paul s supporters are non issues.
Trumps heading into troubled waters that the current poll numbers don’t reflect. Coming in 2nd in Iowa shouldn’t be a handicap but Trump made it one for himself as he ll be derided by the media until he wins one. And it better be soon, like New Hampshire soon.
Don’t go all wobbly on us Trump or weird out like Perot. Adapt, improvise overcome.

As for Huckabee and Santorum, combined they got only 2.8%. Simple math suggests that Rand supporters are much more important than Santorum and Hucks, because there are a lot more of them. As to where they will go: I think Rubio. Not sure why I think that, but I do.
