Of course, if Fred drops out, I’ll have to eat these words, but I’m pretty confident about it

You just DID say that Fred will drop out. You are only questioning the timing.

THOSE are the words you will have to eat. No seasonings allowed. Fred will be there at the end, with delegates enough to be a force at the convention. Your guy is duck squat as of now.

Please try to read more carefully next time:

That presupposes Fred would drop out, which I’m not predicting,

I think that is a pretty clear statement that is the opposite of what you claimed I said. There's no reason to be putting words into other poster's mouths, especially when they said the opposite of what you claim.
