18. He's got the same messiah complex that Cruz has

Feb 2016

but his soporific personality doesn't manage to project it sufficiently. He'll stay in, though.

Kasich is the wild care. His campaign has been lackluster and run on the cheap. He might stay in and hope for a brokered convention.

The ones who drop out are the ones who burn through millions of dollars and get nowhere.

(I should mention that Carson bought a mailing list from National Financial Services and has been sending out some very expensive mailers. I should also mention I am very unimpressed. I would like to know what the cutoff point was since I'm a pretty small fish)

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
