I would say Kasich and Rubio are picking up Bush supporters and are splintering the GOPe votes. I really wish Cruz would pick up steam, and I think he will pick up a lot of Carson and Fiorina supporters should they falter.
Santorum has moved into the “just stroking his own ego” camp along with Gilmore and Pataki at this point. The money issue says that those three should be gone already.
Jindal will go back to work on his re-election in Louisiana soon and Paul will go home to preserve his Senate seat.
Christie likes being on stage and will make at least one more debate. If Rubio starts bouncing into the double digits in more polls, Kasich might be benched by his supporters.
The next debate won’t have a kids table and will be Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Christie, Kasich, and Huckabee. The others won’t get invited.
