Dead Zombie Posts-Dispatched GOP Klown Kar Kandidate Obituaries

This thread will proclaim the most recent GOP candidate drop outs from the 2016 campaign. Since it is possible for non-contenders to last ages beyond their shelf lives because of Citizen's United and Superpacs we may not have any entries until August 2016.

Rachel Maddow thinks Rand Paul may be knocking on the Klown Kar Exit door.

Just for grins, we ought to at least hazard a guess as to who will be the first to fold. I'm thinking Santorum.

All 3 are dead men walking. I think it's gonna be Jeb, Trump, Kasich or Rubio. No others will come close in the end.

There is fierce competition within well established factions. Cruz, Huckabee and Santorum are vying for the religious right's attention. Perry and Christie for the CEO experience but are getting overshadowed by Bush and Kasich. Then there is the Trump reality show all by itself dominating the media. The rest are just simply lost in the primary process.

In the end Trump, Bush and Rubio will be choices with Rubio as a consensus VP candidate.

The Koch money isn't going to any of the zombies. It's going to Walker and, if you believe some conspiracy theories, Trump.

The Koch Brothers do not make "contributions".

They make loans, which they expect to be paid back at an extremely high rate of interest.

So they aren't going to be looking to make those loans to people that have no prospects of being able to pay them back.
