I'm sure this is going to send ripples throughout a teaspoon somewhere.

Adios bitch. There goes another “splitter” failure. Linda was supposed to split off the state pride vote in S.C. thereby lowering the necessary winning percentage for Yeb.

Oh well. I guess both of Linda’s supporters will now vote for Yeb.

There would be stiff competition to fill his seat.

Lindsey sitting pretty in the drivers seat, holding all the cards as he decides who to throw his support to.

Pataki and Kasich will be out soon.

Rand Paul next?

I see Fiorina and Christie hanging on perhaps long enough to see Jeb's votes go to them. That would be a good thing. I see Carson tiring of this soon. He won't take losing well.

I think this is to prop up Christiie or jbush to keep them off the kiddie table.

The kiddie table is the kiss of death.

I am going to go out on a limb here...

I always saw Lindsey as a proxy for Sen. McCain because frankly he knew we couldn't or wouldn't listen to him on the national stage.

So with that said...

Does that mean McCain is throwing in the towel and his desire to be "influential" to refocus his energies against Dr.Kelli Ward as she makes a serious bid to Primary him into retirement?

Given our angst with Sen McCain's political performance over the years, one may hope he sees the light and possibly just retire...

Agreed...it is also likely that after IA or NH, the GOPe power brokers push Jeb out to give Krispy or Kid Rubio a chance to compete with Jebito’s 4-5%...

Gee, it was like he was never in it. Now the networks can hire him to have stupid opinions about Trump.

The “Military Industrial Complex” (defense contractors) will have to find another candidate to drop their money on.

The one that wants to intervene in Syria the most with the loudest anti-Russian rhetoric will be the winner of that $weep$take$.
