you don't think Paul will give Trump an endorsement?

Fiorina is probably next?
Santorum and Gilmore aren't likely to quit.
Carson, Christie, and Kasich may follow.

you'd think so - did they get along in the Senate? I don't recall anyone liking Cruz now that I think about it.....

It's far too soon for another Bush to think he can win the election. What were they thinking?
Bush put more of a focus on New Hampshire than Iowa, so he might be waiting to see how he does there (similar to Christie and Kasich)

Bush is counting on all these other weaklings dropping out and the possible chance that he can garner their support.....with Trumps gigantic unfavorables, you can figure they won't head toward his camp......

Sad to hear that about Rand. I think if he had just stuck to his original message of less wars, states rights he would've had more support. Instead he moved to the right, and tried to move back during the last debate but it was too late

Bush likely has the financial backing to be the only sitting/ prior governor to go the distance with Trump, Cruz and Rubio.

Wow.

I think after Bush, Christie and Kasich lose in NH, they are going to be next.
I just read it on Yahoo. I think he did it now, more to concentrate on his race for the senate I am guessing Christie will hang in there for awhile if he does anything next week, same with Bush.

Rand's position on meddling is too similar to Obama's.

Rand failed to attract the backing of billionaires.

He will likely be more effective in the Senate, assuming he can retain his job.
