I don't know who should drop out, but I know who I WISH would drop out.
Open borders advocates: Rubio, Graham, Bush, Perry. Perry is about to drop out. Graham never even got started. That leaves Bush, whose colorless personality and connection to the Bushes will probably do him in. It also leaves Rubio. I hope Trump goes after him on his Schumer-Rubio amnesty plan.
Candidates who I think would make good presidents: Trump, Huckabee, Walker, Christie, Santorum.
All except Santorum are former governors or successful businessmen. They know how to run things, often in the face of determined opposition. Santorum is the one exception, but he has been the most consistently conservative politician in Congress so he gets my approval.
?/remains to be seen: Fiorina, Gilmore, Petaki, Jindal, Kasich, Carson. They need more exposure.
Most likely to win if nominated: Trump, Rubio, Walker, Christie, Kasich. Trump will pull in a surprising number of Demcrats and Independents, while keeping the Republican base. The others will appeal to larger and larger numbers of voters over time as they gain more exposure. Rubio is dangerous precisely because he could win.
Good VP picks (based on electability only): Kasich, Fiorina, Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Carson. Kasich brings the swing state of Ohio. Fiorina gets more women interested. Cruz and Rubio will appeal to at least some Latinos. Paul gets a lot of the youth vote. Kasich is liked by a lot of Democrats.
My ideal ticket at this point would be any two of Trump, Christie, Walker, Huckabee, and Santorum. I'll capitalize what I think could be winning tickets:
These are the best in the GOP Christi Kasich Rubio Fiorina the rest should drop out now they have no chance in hell
Trump every time he speaks he offends everyone he has offend Mexicans and women many times already please drop out now so the other candidates who have something meaningful to say speak
In your opinion, which Republican candidate for President should drop out of the race now?
None. I want the number of them to keep ticking off the pundits. My belief is the candidates all got into the race because they didn't believe that Bush was inevitable despite the talking heads emphasizing his awesomeness, ability to beat Clinton and fund raising prowess. You may notice that when Trump is leading the pack with 24%, all they can talk about is the 76% he doesn't have but when Bush comes in with 10%, you never hear about the 90% he doesn't have.
