Those two are easy to dismiss. Others who should withdraw will likely take more convincing. On the basis of today’s polling, Lindsay Graham is facing ultra-long odds. (A prominent London bookmaker places his chance of winning the nomination at 66 to 1, only slightly worse than John McCain, who isn’t running). A recent survey of GOP primary voters in his home state of South Carolina showed that 78 percent think Graham should drop out of the race – and that’s his power base.

re: Ron Paul supporters not going to Sanders

Gosh, I don't know. They aren't going to Rand. Sanders is libertarian in a lot of ways. He's in tune with the out-of-control banking mess, which was one of RonPaul's biggest issues. I suspect a lot of Ron Paul supporters are looking for an outlier, but one who isn't a billionaire.

No, conservatives wouldn’t have nominated anyone we have had since Reagan.
But if the establishment had gotten their way, we wouldn’t have had Reagan either.

The difference is we now have some choices.
If they screw us and push Jeb on us, I will never vote republican again.
I will give my vote to whoever the Constitution party is running.

I refuse to be abused any longer.
If enough of us revolt, the republicans will never win another election.

I support Cruz, I will settle for Trump.
The others look to be GOPE to me.

Point taken.
Lispy Graham gets to stay in the sand box until the SC primary.

“Santorum, huckster, Paul....but the one I really want out NOW is Bush!”

I agree with you about Bush and Paul, but nobody is better than Rick Santorum re: understanding Islamic Jihad, protecting unborn babies, border security (Rick is the ONLY presidential candidate to receive an “A” rating from Numbers USA), plus Rick is fantastic on religious freedom.

Win, or lose, I’d like him around to opine the conservative message.
