***Official Presidential Nomination Withdrawal Thread*****

I was watching the KY-Tx A&M game which just went into OT and flipped over just in time to see Jeb say Buh Bye.You beat me.
I'll admit I was wrong. He was very humble and put party first. I thought he would stay on to block Marco. Maybe they've hugged. That or he knew this was the only way he could be part of the BEAT TRUMP solution.

I do not believe for one minute that they actually disliked each other or had any real war of words. Bush just attacked him so much because it seemed good for his political career. I actually expect him to support Rubio now that he has no agenda.
8% of the vote only makes it closer but not a win. But I'm still not sold that all these bush supporters are going to suddenly flock to Rubio. I think it's going to be dispersed more than people think. Carson and kasich staying in is bad news because it practically guarantees a New Hampshire type win for trump in Nevada. If those two aren't out by March 1st then it's either an easy trump win or a convention battle.
Kasich and Carson need to throw in the towel. Their days are numbered. Now to find some way to get rid of Cruz so the real campaigning can begin.
Cruz has done far better than anyone predicted. His style has become so grating and it is typical politics. Trump baited him into the muck and has eviscerated him. He should have taken the high road and not respond in kind like he always says he does. Every political campaign goes after whatever you claim as your mantra. They picked Trust and the opposite is lie. He has just added fuel to narrative and given them example after example.
I suspect March 1st will be his last stop. When he loses Texas he'll likely bow out.
Donald may very well decide to bring out the olive branch to Cruz. Looking at the polling he is in for a huge fight if it becomes one on one with Marco.

Kasich believes that the Midwest and the north east will be enough to erase his deficit. In theory it's plausible but I think with Donald's stronghold over the ne states all kasich is doing is costing Rubio.
As for Carson I have no clue why he is still in.
He's still mad at Cruz and Trump has asked him to keep on keeping on.

Kasich and Carson are just staying in for pride. They have zero chance of winning and are costing the viable option to Cruz and Trump.
Anyone who has heard Job voice his thoughts on the relevant topics of the day knew this fight was over before it began. A strong voice of Conservatism, he wasn't.
Seems to me like Jeb was a prime example of the 'go along to get along' candidate, which is the one thing we do not need more of in DC.

When he talked the conservatism game, I just wondered about his stance on Common Core! I wish someone had asked him in a debate about Common Core.
I do think he is probably a good person, but we don't need another Bush. My only wish in this campaign was for Bush and Clinton to drop out! Now, half of my WISH list is gone. Here's praying for the rest of my wish list to occur.
Bush may have had a much better chance if brother, W., had never won.
I'm glad you didn't say we would have been better off. Now I don't have to argue the point. :biggrin2:
When I hear a supposed Conservative say they know how to reach across the aisle and are willing to work with the other side, I think of the disaster that was Bob Dole, cutting deals and in effect giving away the store and continuing to grow the size of the federal bureaucracy. There is a word that exists, "No."
The GOP has been frightened and threatened into being accused of "shutting down the federal government", "racism" and other nonsense. It's worked brilliantly for the Democrats for the last seven years.
When have you ever heard a Democrat say that? Never, because that's not their party's goal. It is, rather, to both contradict and defeat every Republican, whether they be a candidate or elected official, as well as every law and piece of legislation brought forth by any of the above.
We should vote for and elect Republican candidates who will only do likewise for them. "Reaching across the aisle'' is hogwash. It is equal to capitulation, nothing more, and should never be desired, promised or attempted by any member of the Republican Party.
Imo, Democrats are Communists, and if we don't want the US to become a full fledged Communist nation, we must defeat it, and them, at every turn and every opportunity.
I'll add that Romney won the precious independents by a landslide. He still got his but kicked.
Kasich will stay in the race and I predict will be on the ticket as veep because the republicans absolutely have to win Ohio. No republican has EVER won the presidency without carrying that state.
