Also, Perry is most likely officially out of the non-kiddie table debates with that 1% showing.

Some NYMag article says there are two more polls that they'll use, so this is still well within the realm of variance. Seems entirely possible they'll round to the nearest whole number if it gets Rick in. Also, Bernie Sanders will be the next president of the united states.

Chris Christie is severely overweight, fat, and pus-filled. Completely unfit to be President. Too tight a race.

Clinton up 77% to 8% for Sanders. Probably will just vote Trump in the primary (SC is a open primary, you just got to ask for the R or D vote card) if he is that far out.

There's a Republican candidate forum going on right now. I think everyone's here but Trump.

Jindal probably has a floor of support among people who really want to see an Indian-American president. Otherwise there are probably quite a few people from the home cities/districts/states of these candidates who have been following their careers for a while and are rooting for them to continue to succeed.

I feel bad for John Kasich. It kind of seems like he is the best person among the whole group, and he hasn't a chance.

I wish more republicans would acknowledge that taking care of the less fortunate is basically Jesus's platform.

No, Trump will not win the nomination. In the out-goddamn-landish universe where it does happen, I am not remotely convinced that just any old Democrat would beat him. Hillary, yes. But if she has a stroke and the Donald bulls his way to the nod, I'm updating my will.

Trump can't get more than ~30% of the primary vote. People will drop out and their voters will filter to Bush and Walker

Look at the Fox poll on the previous page -- Trump is sucking away Walker's supporters, not vice versa.

Not everyone: Cruz and Carson voters will probably flow to Trump. Maybe Jindal too. I assume all the Perry voters that liked Trump have already jumped ship.

e: besides ~30% of the vote is enough so long as Walker and Bush are splitting it.
