Trump has yet to file with the FEC; he might stick around for the first few debates before pulling out and going back to reality TV.

Graham has already accomplished his goal of injecting hawkishness back into the conversation. He will endorse someone and drop out.

He's winning SC, right now. Lindsey is in this for real regardless of debates. If he misses the early ones but is still standing late, that'd be a great feat!

It'll be Jindal. He needs the debates to get momentum. Just two months ago I ranked him 9th in my power rankings, but I'm having a  haVing a hard time seeing him jump in now. Iowa is crowded and SC is even more crowded thanks to Bush and Graham replacing Paul. Jindal would need a miracle much bigger than Santorum 2012 since he is taking on all sorts of people in Iowa. Pataki has nothing to lose and could surprise in nh.

Pataki, because he really has no support.

I'll go out on a limb and predict it will be Walker, the flubmeister, who isn't in technically "in" yet.

So you're projecting the fastest drop in primary history? I'd be surprised if he falls that far that quickly.

I don't think this is complete.

I believe there will be even more candidates from the Republican Party.

Trump is only in for the free platform, once he's used it up he'll be gone

I think you're underestimating the ego of Chris Christie.

Clearly Bobby Jindal unless Chris Christie is indicted first.

I don't know why anybody would expect Pataki to drop out.  He has a potential base of support among the remaining moderate Republicans and would likely try to cultivate that base until the end unless he is pushed aside by John Kasich. 

I suppose it's possible Pataki is just a stalking horse for Kasich though given Pataki's long history of wanting to run for President, that doesn't seem to be likely.

It's by no means certain that his campaign will flame out so quickly, but I think it's possible, even likely. A handful of prominent interview flubs immediately post-announcement could cause his backers abandon him in search of someone smarter than Quayle. Or the long-simmering campaign finance case could finally result in an indictment.

I can't imagine Fiorina has much longer - she'll be gone by the first debate.

Christie will probably drop out once it becomes clear he has no shot (which will become evident soon).
