If he drops out, it will only be so that he can drop back in after 7-8 presently in the field have called it off. That way, he can put his money to work from the anti-trump base of the GOPe, without the bothersome 2s, 4s, 5s and 6%s out there presently. Let’s see: add those to his 4% and you’ve got 21%, assuming that all the other dwarves’ votes would accrue to him. Hmmm.
Pretty amazing now that you get candidates dropping out long before the first primaries....things have definitely changed.
