Jeb Bush

There's about five or six contenders that need to call it quits. They've made no impact yet and have zero chance of cracking the top 2.
Jeb! spent another 34 or 37 million in New Hampshire too. Doners like to see ROIs. Wouldn't shock me to see them jump ship soon
Yep...I'd like to see Kasich stay in the top group so he stays around...Trump isn't going anywhere...I'd like to see Cruz and Rubio go as well, but they're not going anywhere yet either. Everyone else needs to exit.
Zero chance? Really? He had over a hundred million going in. Probably has 50 left. He will poll better in SC than he did in NH. Bush continues to be a good name in the state. Lindsey is campaigning for him and he does have a bit of political pull - particularly upstate. The good Dr will pull better than he did in NH, but not 2nd place. Trump still leads. That leaves about 4 in race for 2nd. Rubio shot himself in foot with debate comment. Cruz ditto on the way he did the "dirty politics" explanation. Kasich probably not popular in South and may only get one vote that I can count. That only leaves Bush for 2nd. Of course I have missed the call on a couple votes since being here.
Bush's 50 mil is what I object to in primary. The primary should not be influenced by money - nothing but popularity, IMO.
Yes, zero chance. It's very evident that money isn't his problem and it won't help.
If the Republican party is really hoping Trump isn't the nominee, they better convince some of those that don't have a chance (Carson, Fiorina, and others that are so irrelevant I can't even name them off the top of my head) to drop out as quickly as possible. The field, for all practical purposes, is down to Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Bush. By convincing the others to drop out, they give the others a better chance at beating Trump.
That is rather stupid. Obviously you people are not very bright. These folks have invested a good deal of time and resources to test their electability. You have been suggesting they leave before the first vote was counted. Now a couple states have voted, representing about 1% of electoral votes, and you cannot see why they haven't folded the tent on their message - or whatever prompted them to enter. Your expectations are higher than the candidates. They will drop out after they get a good representation of how the voters are receiving their message, or run out of money - whichever comes first.
