As other candidates drop, I don't see many of those voters flocking to Trump or Cruz. It'll either be those voters siding with Rubio or choosing not to vote at all.

The big exception being Rand Paul supporters. I can see some moving if Rubio is the nominee, but it'll be like 2012 when the majority of Ron Paul supporters didn't move to Romney.

That's not a slam against Rand supporters either. Just reality.

Thanks Carlos.

That is ridiculous.

Jeb has the money, wll he get his butt handed to him again in NH,SC and NV and wait until he loses big on Super Tuesday before he sees the light and drops out?

Jeb is out by SC. Rubio has a chance in Florida, has a very good chance in Nevada and Colorado. I'm not give Trump or Cruz Super Tuesday just yet. The thing about Super Tuesday is that it's a national campaign and you need your endorsers to campaign for you because the candidates be everywhere at once. Rubio has the most endorsements in some of the most important states that can campaign for him and rally the ground game for him.

I can see a lot of them moving to Cruz, unfortunately. He still pays lip-service to the principles Rand stands for.

Personally, I'll be voting for Kasich if he's still in by Super Tuesday. And if not, I'll drop a vote for Rubio. Not because I fully agree with them as much as I can actually respect them.

Unless TN magically turns into a swing state I'll probably be voting for Gary Johnson in the general in the hopes that by some miracle a third party can get some visibility in this country.

Jeb's superPAC has about 60 million bucks. He's in at least through Super Tuesday.

Maybe Rubio can get John Boehner, Eddie Cantor, and their likes, to campaign for him.

People who will not be campaigning for Rubio are Jeff Sessions and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

I'm going to give Rand supporters a little credit for not being blind sheep. They recognize BS when they see it and I seriously doubt they would sway towards Cruz even though he does say what they want to hear.

Kasich is probably the most even keeled candidate in the spotlight right now. However, he's just too nice (IMO) and not fiery enough.

One could hope.

I would say 40-60% of Rand supporters would vote for whomever the R nominee is. Rand doesn't have the kind of zealotry that followed his father around. He's more of a compromiser than Dr. No was.

So let's just say RP drops tomorrow for some reason.

Who do you think picks up his followers?

Some people will be fooled into thinking Cruz is liberty minded and the others will hold their noses and pick Rubio. I can't see too many jumping on Trump bandwagon, but in the general, probably...

I'm actually giving your voting block more credit than you are. I doubt they sway to Cruz TBH. Unless it's the general.

Gowdy was tossed aside by Franklin and his ilk the moment they sent him on the Benghazi suicide mission and he failed to drum up anything earth-shattering.

Scott... well, we all know what his "problem" is. And he can actually get along with other human beings in Congress. That's a big no-no.
