The Dropping Out Thread

Nah, what will drive Carson out is his burn rate. He will stop campaigning once his campaign is out of money - which is probably not too far off.

And it seems to be all over the news that Christie is going back to NJ to ‘reassess’ his campaign.

And for reasons that probably only she understands, Carly Fiorina has vowed to keep going, despite her anemic showings in IA and NH.

Yeah, whatever, lady.

Maybe Fiorina thinks if Christie drops out , she’ll make the next debate by default

With all due respect,Lloyd Bentsen retains the title for most effective debate take-down.

If you want to claim that strictly speaking, that was Vice Presidential politics, then I’ll submit my second choice, Ronald Reagan.

See, if “There You Go Again” was as effective as Christie’s attack, a rattled Carter would’ve replied by in fact saying the same thing again, word-for-word, click, whir.

The Bensten thing didn’t really hurt Bush/Dukakis, so it wasn’t an effective debate takedown. Christie seems to have done real damage to Rubio (albeit, at little advantage to himself).

(I never really got why the Bensten thing was supposed to be such a great jab anyways, to my ears it just kinda made Bensten look like a jerk).

I thought he was petitioning Netflix to bring the sitcom back on the air.

Buy Des Moines and Ames.

Cnn reporting that Fiorina is out

Here’s an NPR link for that.

And NY Times confirmation on Christie’s suspending his campaign.

I guess the 133 votes that Gilmore got in NH have encouraged him to carry on. :slight_smile:

Guess that’s also the end of the kiddie table.

Perhaps at the rate that Gilmore burns his money, he can make it to the 2020 convention.

Way overdue for Carly, she had exactly one bright moment, and that was getting insulted by The Donald. The right time for Christie, he may be a thug but he can read the writing on the wall.

After all, that’s almost as much as Santorum got.

Fiorina’s out![

You mean I don’t have to look at that shrieking harpy anymore while she lies about Planned Parenthood?

That’s the best birthday present I could ask for.

I never understood the rationale for Carly Fiorina’s campaign. Her main asset was her business career, but that was a huge liability because of all the HP horror stories. Her only prior campaign was a disastrous joke remembered only for the Demon Sheep ad. What possessed her that she thought she might be the next president?

Well, *everybody *knows the only reason anyone’s voting for Hillary is 'cause she’s a chick! It’s a foolproof plan.

It is most certainly neither her sterling business reputation nor her raw sexuality. Perhaps if one can hallucinate about PP videos that never existed she could imagine a world in which she had some popularity. US Senate campaign a bust, presidential bid a bust, I suggest she start out small- maybe township clerk.

Well, she inexplicably made it all the way to honcho at HP with few if any qualifications for the job, and even less ability, so hey, why not try for president?

Go crawl back under your rock with all your money, Carly. No one wants anything to do with you.

This.
