I never understood why Pataki even ran. Was he promoting a book? Because even he isn’t delusional enough to think that he could have won.

Looks like we were 100% correct in our estimation of who would leave the race next. I'm still betting Huckabee is next up, you?

If Pataki withdraws from the race does it make a sound?

He was getting beat by “not voting at 3%”.

This doesn’t matter, and I’m okay with him dropping out, since Pataki’s voters are too few to make a difference. I hope Christie, Bush, and Rubio will all three remain in the race. Each of them has enough RINO support to matter, and I want to see the big government liberal vote divided.

LOL.....his minus whatever percent won’t help any other candidate ;-)

Well I just imagine as Trump and his supporters continue to denigrate all the other candidates Trump's support may not grow much from where it stands. Remember, that Trump stands at about 1/3 and not Trump stands at 2/3.

I bet he knew the game, the unspoken game of the Establishment— otherwise known as the “splitter strategy” and the silent approval that always comes with it.

So that leaves only Huckabee and Santorum in the Kidde Table debates.

Not so fast. They are saving a place for Jeb Bush.

Huck wants to cut a rug in Iowa, I believe, before he folds up and stumps for TRUMP.

Good example just how delusional politicians eventually become. Pataki never had the slightest chance to ever receiving the nomination. These guys become legends in their own minds.

Yes.

It is the sound of one hand clapping.

Governor Pataki is calling his NH supporters this afternoon telling him he will drop his bid for president

Both of them?

Huck is going to stay in and be the attacker of Cruz for Trump.
