    There needs to be many more of these. I know, I know, people are holding out hope for the Iowa caucus, but it’s really pointless.

    It’s a race to see “who gets to lose to Trump by 40 points.”

    Trump 54%

    DeSantis 18%

    Haley 12%

    Ramaswamy 6%

    Christie 3%

    Scott 2%

    Burgum 1%

    Hutchinson 0%

    Anyone in single digits needs to drop out. Or put it another way, you could combine the support for all the other candidates behind a single person and they would still lose to Trump by 8 points.
