Why wait until Tuesday? Why not today? Why leave his supporters hanging? This would be devastating news to his supporters, so why not get it over with?

I heard on Saturday that Fred was staying in until Florida even if he came in 3rd in SC. So now he comes in 3rd, and there’s talk he’s dropping out.

They’ve been saying Fred was going to drop out since before the first vote in New Hamshire.

(Recall, the first drop-out lie was planted by Romney camp via Politico.)

The media want him out because he’s a threat to Hillary getting the office. He’s the one true conservative in the race (after Hunter conceded defeat).

This is a moronic statement! Because he is with his mother who is very ill. Don’t you think he had more on his mind, beside not keeping his supporting hanging another 24 hours?? We can all way an extra day! For Pete’s sake!!

There’s been talk about his dropping out for WEEKS now... I would take it with a grain of salt.

He went straight from his SC speech to his mother's bedside. She's 90 with pneumonia, and there's no such thing as a "routine" complication at 90. I doubt he's given a moment's thought to the campaign in the last 48 hours. If you're not comfortable with that, then find a candidate who's less concerned with his likely-dying mother.

I'm not a Freadhead, but I am a guy who lost his mother, and now would be the time to back the F off. He will get out or he will stay in, and he will decide in his time. I believe that your opinion ranks about # 47,964 on his list of concerns right about now.
