Christie going home and will make a decision. He won't be a factor in the next state primary.

The establishment can't produce agreement on who will represent them. Kasich one and done. Had a good ground game, maybe the best, but he doesn't have that in S. C. or anywhere else. Cruz one and done. Maybe and maybe not, depends on S.C. If we see another establishment candidate first or second in S.C. then the establishment will be on life support. They are being damaged by indecision and Trump is beneficiary of that.

I'm predicting Cruz or Bush second in S.C.

They aren't being done in by their indecision. They have been done in by their hubris and contempt for their constituents.

Trump will win the presidency.

He's the only candidate on either side who appeals to Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

I said that while I think Sanders is a loon, he's at least an honest loon. Not like Hillary, Obama, or any of the Bushes. Trump is an arrogant SOB but that arrogance may keep him from being manipulated and compromised like the past few POTUS. If we have four years of a crappy Presidency, at least we won't continue having one of being sold out to the banks and foreign interests like the last 20+ years.

Christie is a tame Trump. He will most likely drop out.


I'm surprised Carly is still continuing.


Hillary is aiming at the minorities to help boost her in the southern states.


Cruz is banking on the bible thumpers in the southern states

I expect Christie and Carly to go away now. Carson might stick around just to pull votes away from Cruz after that scuzzy trick in Iowa. He could possibly do damage in the upcoming southern states.

As I posted on another thread, Cruz is positioning himself for the long haul. Don't kid yourself. Look at these numbers:

Combined Super Pac/Campaign spending in NH:

1) Jeb Bush $36 million
2) Christie $18.5 million
3) Rubio $15.2 million (who also out-spent Cruz in Iowa, too)
4) Kasich $12.1 million
5) Trump $3.7 million
6) Fiorina $1.8 million
7) Cruz $780,000

He spends the least in NH, and still comes in third. He has money in the bank and a well oiled ground game for the upcoming states. As more of these nonviable candidates drop (that keep spliting the votes and thus making Trump's number's look better than they really are), it will be an entirely different race.

Kasich needs to drop out. In a GOP field of beef steak and rib racks he's the lonely Graham cracker at the kiddy table.

Agreed. Unless he's going to be able to spend two months in town-halls and spend $12M (like he just did in NH) in each upcoming state, he just wasting everyone's time.

I really don't think his 2nd place finish proves anything. MAYBE if he'd won...

If Hillary continues to lie and cheat her way to the nomination, Kasich is the only one I would consider voting for to defeat her.
