What a difference a day makes! Three, maybe four candidates commit campaign hari-kari. How long will the circus go on?

Ben Carson is touring the grain silos in Egypt.
Some of the others may have VP in their noggins.
Paul Rand is getting his britches re-fitted, that he got to big for. Now about the swollen appendage located on his shoulders? A sharp and dully pointy rusted pin might help. Then after pin usage he could fart and fly around the room.
Stand back.

Off the wall answer on my part but Trump, he’ll go to the “Independent Lever” for November.

Paul, Fiorina, and Santorum have been on political life-support since before Christmas. Huckabee died months ago, but his corpse has been haunting the Reps. Glad a stake went through his heart, his corpse can rest.

Santorum is delusional, amy not quit for months. Fiorina has too much bile in her mouth to admit defeat.

Ooh I dunno, for as long as the american electoral system continues to use this arseheaded, cockeyed, bullshit way of doing shit?

It should be a healthy thing that so many Republicans think themselves suitable for the big job. It’s just too bad that it isn’t exactly the cream that rises to the top. It appears that we can anticipate the current slapstick as the working model for GOP Presidential runups since GW’s demonstration that it ain’t what you know that gets you for the gig.

*** ‘Too big for.’ Sorry, tired.
And that’s just the overspill at the band where the Tweedle Dum suspenders attach. No alterations needed on the short pants. The Buster Brown socks and Stride Rite shoes complete the the ensemble for this insufferable twit.

Until the end of the conventions.

It appears Rand Paul has joined the group of drop-outs and Carson says he’s still running. The time for those with little or no support to let it go. Cristi seems to be thrashing and my guess is he’ll be the next to go. Bush should be but he has a lot of money and it will take a big push to get him out. If you haven’t got more than 5% of the voters at this point a comeback isn’t happening.

The longer a dark horse candidate is in the race the more opportunities they will have when the race is over. So as long as these obvious losers continue to raise money and have some votes in the polls they can reap post race benefits from political appointments or maybe a VP nod, careers in the media, lucrative jobs on K Street as a lobbyist and maybe just maybe like Hillary did after her failed Presidential run, she landed the sweetheart job of Secretary of State.

Plus there is always the chance anyone of the contenders really steps in it by saying something really really dumb (Trump) or something in their past pops up and really affects the candidates ability to run (Hillary) The odds of this happening are pretty high for either candidate and if something like this happens it will be a major reshuffle of the deck time.

Apparently I was wrong, Santorum seems to be the next in line to throw in the towel. Rumors are that he will do so tonight.

@Jaxk – check CNN, he just did

I still think JEB! wins Super Tuesday and is therefore the nominee. No, I will not bet money on that. And, speaking of money I think I won my bet about Carson and Carly Fiorina. Someone on here owes 20 bucks to Doctors Without Borders.

With the speech he gave on Tuesday @johnpowell Bush might win mediocre Monday.

Is it illegal to pay people to vote for you? Sure it’s unethical, but is there a law prohibiting it? What I am thinking is that Bush has lots of money but few votes. Why not offer to pay all registered Republicans of a state $100 if they nominate him? He can’t do worse than he currently is.

Hari-Kari? Do you know what that is?? It would be like staying with the burning, fragmenting plane until it hit the ground. These guys bailed!
