“I assume the faster Fred drops out, the faster his conservative supporters will back the other conservative in the race, like they should have from day one.”
You should never “assume.” Most I’ve spoken to are going to give their support to Mitt should the worst happen and Fred drops out.
My condolences.
I'm not thrilled with Mitt, but I'd probably end up going with him if Fred drops. Mainly to stop the other more liberal guys and since Duncan is impossible to win and with supporters like pissant...he just turns me off from even considering duncan.
