      Yeah - not sure why CMBF is theorizing about Bush dropping out now. He's going to stay in at least through the Florida primary.

          Bush would be in my top 4, but he isn't ever going to make it. I wish he would do the honorable thing and best thing for the country. Quit the race and endorse Kasich.

          I wish Romney would also get off his duff and endorse Kasich.

            If he comes in fifth tonight, there is no path to the nomination for him. He can stay in, but he'll be utterly irrelevant. There are some primary voters that would vote for Rubio but won't go for Bush. If it's between Cruz and Bush, they'll choose Cruz. Bush has a lot of the same problems as W while having none of W's charm (whatever it was ). I actually think Cruz would be a better general election candidate than Bush. Bush's personal approval ratings are in Trump territory.

            Cruz is the big beneficiary of all of this. The March 1 primaries are collectively called the SEC primary and Cruz is going to crush everyone except Trump. Bush may wish to look even more pathetic and hang on after that, but the writing will be on the wall. The anti Trump people, probably 2/3 of the primary voters will coalesce around Cruz.
            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

              • Not so bold prediction: Rubio will not be in the top 3 tonight.
                "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                  • I'm really looking forward to January 19, 2017 with a post from CMBF "The Trump thing just isn't going to happen tomorrow guys."

                    • With the massive logjam for second thru sixth in this primary, I guess we'll see quite a bit of the GOP candidates carry on for a while longer...which I think will further cement Trump as the nominee.
                      I think Carson and Fiorina finally drop out after tongiht. About a month ago I came to terms with him winning and it's starting to unfold...which is strange. He's still killing it in the national polls.

                      It's not going out on a limb, but Hillary will now start to trounce Bernie all the way to the Dem nomination, and if her opponent is either Trump or Cruz, she wins easily. I guess I need to start to help myself come to terms with her becoming president

                      • This Bernie speech is hilarious. Every impossible leftist wet dream in a giant run-on sentence. I think his campaign should be sponsored by Disney because wishing upon a star is the only hope of affording his agenda.

                          Yep, but the difference between him and Clinton is like ability and that difference is palpable. Bernies ideas are crazy, but I love watching his speeches because you can tell he believes what he says and is honest. Watching Hillary is like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

                            I agree with that. He's definitely entertaining and has a soul unlike Hillary.

                            But is Bernie the least qualified major candidate ever? Trump comes close. But Bernie has literally been a loser at everything except complaining about capitalism his whole life.

                              Obama was probably less qualified, but it turned out okay, not great but okay.
