Iowa and New Hampshire vote in January, don’t they?
If Trump wins resounding victories in those early states, this will be all but over. I think DeSantis, Haley and the rest, take the position, that nobody has actually voted yet, so they stay in because they think they can make inroads against Trump.

DeSantis is touted as a great leader...but he chose as his campaign spokeswoman, a registered foreign agent for a top Zelensky ally.......spox Christina Pushaw was also at Zelensky’s victory party in 2019.

They’re staying in hoping the Democrats will succeed at illegally denying Trump’s access to the ballot, so that they might even have the slightest chance of winning a primary.
Which makes them enemy collaborators.
I see it this way too. Fine, no one has voted but if IA and NH look anything like the polls everyone needs to drop out. I’d say even before SC, or you’re just playing spoiler.
Trump will need to win well north of 50% to end the race. If he can't crack 50% then there will be dropouts and increasing numbers for those remaining. It could still get interesting. Plus, Trump is his own worst enemy and there are still just less than 3 months for him to self destruct.
