Another one bites the dust...

I would be thrilled to see the fields shrink.  While it is nice to have a variety of opinions, when we're talking about an 18 month (or more) campaign, There comes a time when it needs to shrink to the candidates that truly have a shot.

So who are your top 5? 

In no particular order:

1. Trump

2. Cruz

3. Rubio

4. Christie

5. Fiorina

Others that are at least fun to listen too:

Huckabee

Carson

Santorum

(All three are to religious for me.  I hate the religious right, but they are all very smart on certain topics.)

Really?

I'd say pretty much any/all of the undercard debaters but they're essentially out of the race already so I'll just focus on the main stage folks.

The one I'd like to see get out the most is Kasich, He's so annoying.

As for what will actually happen I suspect that most of the main debate candidates will hold out through Iowa and New Hampshire to see how things go.

I'd say it will be down to Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and Bush 30 days after Iowa.  Bush is kind of an odd duck because he has enough money to go all the way to the end, so even if he doesn't win a single state I could see him sticking around forever.

I thought kasich was the more reasonable one up there......

Is that the guy who keeps karate chopping the air?  If so, no.....he can't be President, he's too friggin annoying with that crap.

lol, prior to the race this year my overall opinion of him was positive, but I think it was in the second debate where he kept interrupting everybody and whining for more time and more time and more time and "I voted on that law, so I get time to address it".  I wanted to jump out the window.

I don't even know where he stands on much of anything, he just annoys me so he's out.  lol

well someone needs to fight radical islam

or Bernie can bongo them to death

Excellent!

Spit my water out on that one.  HILARIOUS!

I can't believe I haven't seen that before.  Funniest thing I've seen in days.  

It's tough to know who will get out next without knowing the particular pressures for each.  Graham suspended his campaign when he did because it was the last day to do so without his name getting on the S. Carolina ballot.  Since he likes his senate gig, I don't think he wanted to get trounced in the SC primary which would potentially open the door as a target for getting primaried the next time around.

I'd have to suspect one of the under card candidates or someone from the main debate stage who gets sent down to the lower tier.  Paul is as likely as anyone to be next.

It's hard to keep track.   lol

Between Pataki and Hillary.......I vote Pataki every time.

I always liked Huckabee as a person, but never thought much of him as a politician.  

I don't know if any of y'all watched any Red State Update videos (satirical) back in 2008, but one of came up with the catchyist of catch phrases - "Huckabee, well F... Me" - I can't hear his name without that running through my head.  There are current Red State Update videos, but I haven't watched any.  With this set of candidates, those videos are probably pretty funny.

Wonder how long Jeb! will stick around.  Seems like he's putting everything he as (aka nothing) into NH, so hopefully soon after.

lol, poor Rand.  I hear he might even have a tough race to hang onto his senate seat.  perhaps too much running for president.

Hey, I resemble that remark.  haha

I do agree that it's been hijacked by the far right for the most part.
