He is just grifting to get money out of the process. He will be there until the money completely is gone. Kasich is next, probably with a promise of being VP. The real battle is going to be between Cruz and Rubio, one has to go if the other is to have a shot at defeating Trump. But neither will.

Kasich. The media and the establishment have anointed Rubio as THEIR candidate. Mass Feb 2016 #4

I hope Ted Cruz. For once I agree with Trump. Being foreign born, no matter that he is Cleita Feb 2016 #28

I think Cruz's citizenship is very dicey and I don't think he is a "native born" American. CTyankee Feb 2016 #33

They better do it sooner rather than later because, other than Trump, it seems he's Cleita Feb 2016 #37
