Why do folks think Thompson should drop out?
In a lot of cases - because they think he can win.
Because they don’t want to compete with a grown-up who actually IS a Conservative, not one pretending to be just when they decided to run for President.
I'm starting to suspicion that this whole thing about the idea of Fred dropping out is the new stealth-mantra of the press now that the 'lazy/no fire in the belly" has gone flat.
It may be the new Pied Piper tune to lead the sheeple away from Fred - whom they now see is a real threat
