It’s more important to keep in mind that the Iowa Caucuses are Monday, February 1, 2016. That is 50 days from now, over 7 weeks away, an eternity if you look at how the numbers have shifted in just the last month.

I don’t expect the anti-establishment candidates to be displaced by the GOP-E candidates, but I think if all the other GOP-E candidates exited and left the field to Rubio that his numbers would go up a lot. If they are going to do that, it will have to be in the next 2 or 3 weeks for it to have its impact.

I don’t see Trump, Cruz, or Carson dropping out. Fiorina is a non-politician candidate, but I think her time has come and gone. We’ll know after the next debate.

Even better than the 58 days than I wrote above. I meant to write 48 days... the shorter the better. ;-)

I read Yeb! is staying in the race at least until to the New Hampshire primary.
