Some GOP voter predictions of the next dropouts:

Re: 2016 Election
 

No one polled me, but, for what it's worth, I think Jim Webb will be the next guy out of the race.

On the other side we will probably see 5 or 6 guys drop out in the space of 10 days. Holdouts for a while longer, but with little or no chance, would include Christie, Huckabee and Santorum (no chance at all, but counting on the evangelicals in Iowa to give him pretty good face-saving support. He's really running for a cabinet slot - Secretary of the Department of the Established Church of the United States of America, oh wait...).

Re: 2016 Election
 

At this stage it seems to be more about who can get the money to back them and who can't.
Everyone relegated to the 'small table' in the debates is likely to go soon as they just aren't getting any oxygen. Fiorina has made the step up and should stay in for a while.

I'd like to see Huckabee go soon because he's a detestable character, shamelessly hellbent on hoovering up any and all publicity remotely related to a religious topic.

Interesting that Perry and Walker are hedging their bets. Too early to endorse another candidate.

The other question is, has every potential Republican candidate declared now? Too late for a new joiner?

Agree with your thoughts on The Preacher.

Only someone who could conjure up an instant national organization would join now. That means the Guy With the Dog on the Roof of his Car.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I figured that Perry would drop out first, followed by Walker. My guess is that Santorum will be next.

Historically, contenders who are front runners at this point of the election cycle don't end up as the candidate.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Headlines this morning suggesting Carson and trump are neck and neck. All I can think is, really those are the two top candidates?????

Meanwhile apparently Fiorina had an interview this morning where she continues to lie about a planned parenthood video that doesn't exist. Not to mention other lies about selling computers to Iran...

Really, my kingdom for an actual good GOP candidate.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I'm afraid I'm with you on that. Is Rubio the best available in your view? Understanding that neither side has a truly outstanding or "perfect" candidate.

Bill Clinton thinks Mr Trump just might be the GOP man.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Right now I'm leaning towards "none of the above". Each one either has objectionable policies or has come out with outrageously stupid statements.

I suppose we'll get the government we deserve.:(

Re: 2016 Election
 

That is sad.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Rand Paul has made the least number of stupid comments, and has some genuinely progressive policies.

Re: 2016 Election
 

His stance on abortion is very severe. Flat tax is amongst the stupidest things. There are others.

Not to mention the whole fake medical board he runs.

Also, the least number of stupid things is still a lot of stupid.

Re: 2016 Election
 

In the interests of accuracy, Paul dissolved his National Board of Ophthalmology in 2011, so he doesn't actually run any Board at the present time; and he, personally, is certified with the American Board of Ophthalmology.

As for saying more or fewer stupid things, we are talking about retail politics in the United States...:lol:
