Looking at Iowa, if they could get Christie OR Bush to drop out and endorse Rubio, then that puts Rubio above Trump and in 2nd place.

But if they want to enhance Rubio's chances, they need to move early and not risk Rubio losing badly in any of the upcoming primaries.

Will the RNC try to push Bush or Christie out?


On the other side: If Kasich/Huckabee/Fiorina drop out and endorse Cruz, that could double Cruz's lead over Trump.

JEB! is going broke:



Florida governor Jeb Bush received 5,165 votes in Iowa. His vote total constitutes 2.8 percent of the Republican turnout, placing him in sixth place in the Iowa caucus.

Yet no candidate in either party spent more in the race than Bush.

According to MSNBC, Bush spent $14.9 million in Iowa, all coming from Bush's super PAC. (In fact, if one were to consider national ads and money from the campaign, the total would be significantly more.)

That means, the once Republican frontrunner spent $2,884 per Iowa vote.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/article/2000869/





He's getting very little to replace what he's spending:

Jeb Bush, the one-time presumptive Republican nominee, is facing a very real money crunch. His campaign raised only $7 million in the last three months of last year. Fundraising for his once mammouth Right to Rise super PAC has also dried up.

Without a big surge in New Hampshire next week, Jeb’s campaign will come to an end very soon.

That's too cool.

14.9 mil for 5165 votes.

that's the equivalent at 50K a year to 298 people's salaries.

For a primary in Iowa.

Way cool.

Bye bye Jeb.

I bet you really regret saying that your goal was to get the nomination without the base.

How's that working out for ya?

I wonder how much money is generated into the economy of Iowa due to the caucus.

Jeb is still supposedly sitting on $59M. I doubt he is going anywhere before SC.

Divide and conquer. Look for them to support to Trump. Cruz is the only one that can beat Rubio now.

The RNC doesn't have to DO anything.

The only threat to their plan is Cruz, and he has definite uphill battle as long as Trump stays in the race.

Of course their favorite was Bush, but they will gladly settle for Rubio.

FLORIDA'S "winner take all " primary is Cruz's biggest obstacle. He MUST take a large portion of Texas' proportionately awarded delegates to offset a probable loss in Fl.

Let's just say, we'll never give it up willingly. wink


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

That just says something about the GOP some have known for a long time.

They already are. Remember "Trump will be much easier to work with than Cruz?".

Trump leaving the race is their worst nightmare.

They want him to win enough delegates to deny anyone the nomination.

The only question at this point is, Does he know it?

Cruz now knows the path for him outside of Iowa is filled with potholes.

The nomination is narrowing down to Trump and Rubio.

I think, once the after Iowa reality kicks into full gear, Cruz will support Trump's candidacy moreso than Rubio's. If Cruz supports Rubio, the Cruz outsider argument will finally be put to rest, at least.
