If Fred can only hang in there until Huckabee drops out, then he can still pull it out. My fear is that if he drops out, Huckabee will be the beneficiary, and new life will be breathed into his campaign.
If Fred drops out, I won’t be watching any more of the debates.
Fred is gone. It’s over. Everyone can’t have their candidate. Conservatism has degrees. It always has. We all choose the least bad option and in the general election that will be easy to choose.
