Here is my deadpool list in order:
1) Santorum
2) Perry
3) Gilmore
4) Pataki
5) Jindal
6) Christie
7) Paul
8) Huckabee
9) Fiorina
I predict those will be gone by November 1st.
Gilmore is running for President?
Wow.
Don’t forget Lindsey Graham.
Look for Carly Fiorina to stay in the longest.
For a long time, it seemed that Rand Paul ‘had it all’. He could debate, joke, filibuster, and make a RINO flustered. Then, he started ‘pal-ling around with’ McConnell. Rand’s sincerity and soapbox focus has remained unclear since then.
The detriment to that is — if they did win, their organization is so small they would have trouble mounting an effective campaign against the Democrat candidate.
Bush is appealing to big donors, but his showing at the debate was atrocious, considering he had the 2nd highest number of questions/face-time to Trump's. His preference numbers actually dropped.
Fiorina is gaining ground. Here’s why she should stay in and keep debating the big kids:
Carly takes on Chris Matthews:

Jeff Kuhner out of WRKO about an hr ago said something very interesting. He noted the top 4 in the polls right now have over 50% of the vote in total while Jepito press 2 for English is at what 9%? Add Jepito to your list he is done IMHO and have said so since the day he took the ride in the Uber car, it was his Dukakis Ride in the Tank moment, and I think I am the only one who said it here...
But more importantly, we are rejecting any RINO-Progressive-E-GOP candidate they have thrust upon us.
We will get a conservative in this cycle IMHO....

There are three upcoming debates, one each in September, October, and November. IMO most of the ones you listed will stick it out thru at least those debates.
The only one on your list that I would like to see stick around is Fiorina.
I am not going to vote for her but the media hates it when she attacks Hillary and they can’t accuse her of being a misogynist.
Don’t disagree with the list - but think they are more stubborn then smart in most cases and will hold out till late Jan.
