LAST CHANCE Record your SC guess. Top 3 GOP and when Jeb! quits

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Me:

1. Trump
2. Cruz
3. Rubio

Jeb! will quit Sunday afternoon

[MrWendel]

1. Yes...

in the order. I can't argue with that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. Yes, guess not as much mystery as NH. Maybe we should guess

the order of the last threee

[NBachers]

2. I think Jeb! is sandbagging 'till the Convention Miracle happens.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Ha. Now the word is out that he is HELPING Trump by staying

in - splitting the opposition. That's worst than just losing for him. Love it

[NBachers]

5. I'm happy that it's so unbearably sad.

[Recursion]

6. I put Rubio over Cruz, but narrowly, followed by a MASSIVE push from the GOP establishment

to get everybody but Rubio out. Which will not work.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. I almost put Robio over Cruz too. Luckily - he got some bad press this

morning. Skipped a conservative rave last night to do a focus group on Fox, which I actually watched.

Seems he/Florida has paid Luntz $345k in consulting fees. And, Luntz supposedly was the one who created Rubio's main campaign themes/speeches. And there's Luntz orchestrating a "focus group" with Rubio and acting like a disinterested party. For the most part, it seemed legit - bunch of nutcases. But then, thought it was odd some of the questions from the group sounded rehearsed. Evidently they couldn't afford the best actors out there. Cruz was welcomed too. Guess they are pushing anyone but Trump.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

25. They are smart enough to know that Trump could damage the GOP brand for a generation

Also, he's independently wealthy -- he doesn't need to dance to the Koch's tune.

From our standpoint, they are all horrible; however, if we had to be stuck with a Republican, I'll join Robert Reich in saying we're better off with Trump than Cruz.

[Frustratedlady]

27. If we get Cruz, we also get his crazy father...

Two crazies in the Oval Office would be a disaster.

I think that before that happens, an investigation into the legitimacy of Cruz being able to fill the POTUS' shoes would be expedited.

[BainsBane]

7. Hillary

My only guess on the GOP side is that it will be someone truly horrible.

[lame54]

8. Jeb!'s mommy won't let him quit

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. thought she was a no from the beginning? Sure do wish someone

would drill him on his voter purge ! He's got his own crap besides his brother's. Plus I am 1 zillion percent convinced he rigged Fl in 2008

[Person 2713]

29. She is looking tired on that walker

Sort of sad he has to bring her out on the trail to reinvigorate his chances
ok not really

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. I'll second your prediction.

I'll add that both Slappy the Dummy and Rubio will ultimately surge within 3 points of Trump when everything's done.

Jeb and Carson bow out after South Carolina. Kasich stays in for a couple more rounds to see how far playing the "Least Insane" card will take him.

[Robbins]

12. me

1:Trump
2:Rubio
3:Cruz

Jeb will suspend sunday after finishing 5th in SC.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. kasich above Jeb??

[hatrack]

13. Oh, no, not "quit" - "suspend"!

Back to the guessing game:

1. Trump
2. Cruz
3. Rubio (barely behind Cruz)
4. Kasich
5. Heb!
6. Dr. Sleepy

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Did gnarly Carly quit? I musta missed that. nt

[Iggo]

21. Same day as Christie, I think.

Christie's withdrawal might've been bigger news because he had just handed Rubio his own ass a couple days before.

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. Trump, cruz, rubio

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. my guess too. Rubio bad press yesterday and today

[Myrina]

15. Just guessing ...

1. Trump
2. Kasich
3. Cruz

Bonus question: Jeb turns off the lights Tues or Weds, when he thinks no one's looking.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. funny girl ! seemed like he should have gotten contacts sooner - he's a

blinking machine now

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Uh-oh...elect-ability important to GOP voters - and Robio won by a

mile....these people are so stupid.

tough night for Kasich and Carson - per exits on Fox just now.

[Initech]

22. 1 - Cruz, 2 - Der Trumpenfuror, 3 - Rubio

[GoCubsGo]

23. I agree with your guess.

I live here. All I see are Trump and Cruz signs and bumper stickers, not that I have been seeing many, at least compared to other years. TBH, I'm not so sure that most people in this state are enthusiastic about any of the candidates.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

24. Trump (by less than expected), Cruz, Rubio

Jeb! will wait until Monday to hang it up. He'll spend Sunday discussing it with the family. I think Ben Carson also hangs it up.

Carson will endorse Cruz, I suspect. Jeb! will endorse Kasich.

[restorefreedom]

26. i hope trump wins big

because

1. he will be the easiest to beat in nov
2. pure entertainment value
3. it will demoralize jeb! again
4. the most important reason of all...the establishment STILL gets a big middle finger tonight!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. true dat. I am torn about "easiest to beat" think Trump

would be in the middle. Robio hardest? Then Cruz. Then Trump ?

Hell, they all suck. Compared to Romney and McCain? We got this in the bag.

[restorefreedom]

32. yeah boy wonder i think would be toughest

hard to imagine the country would elect someone like cruz

[malaise]

28. Looking good

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. You still up M ?? :)
