Will being pushed to the kiddie table push any of Fiorina, Kasich, or Paul to drop out of the race? Paul was talking about "making an announcement about his candidacy" back when he looked likely to be demoted to the kiddie table at the last debate.
Paul should drop out soon. Kasich I suspect will go before NH, and maybe even Iowa. Fiorina leaves after NH, along with Bush. That all seems fairly obvious. What is not obvious is what Carson will do, and whom he will support. He seems to me by far the most important imponderable in the race. Otherwise, it's Rubio/Christie versus Trump/Cruz. Things are beginning to sort out now - finally. It's down to a Manichean race between the good force and the bad force, ala Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings. Will the Pubs embrace Saroun or Gandalf? It's becoming an epic!
