No one, given that Santorum was at 1% at this point in 2011 and went on to become the main challenger to Romney.

'should' is a strong word. I would say that Pataki and Gilmore should since it is clear they aren't really running anyway. They have not money, dont do events and now arent getting on the ballot.

Well the problem is theirs WAY to many candidates in the debate. Also all of the candidates I listed have no support/very little/are jokes.

I think the unfortunate effect of that event is now every candidate running in the future will think and cite that fact, and use it to avoid dropping out for as long as possible.

I never understood these "should" questions. I don't know what these candidates even want, so how am I supposed to give them advice on whether they should drop out.

Exacley. Why have Christie/Kasich/Hukabee up their when they've been getting like 2% for MONTHS. They shouldint be running same with Fiorina shes a complete joke.

Why would TRUMP/CARSON drop out when their leading same with Cruz. Those are the top three leaders.

Carson is more serious than Fiorina lol.

Pataki really should at this point. He's not gonna be in the under-card debate, he's old news and has no    real support. He's also too moderate for the party. Rest in peace, Pataki. Jim Gilmore is actually starting to form a campaign in New Hampshire, he has a state rep endorsement, maybe if he starts events he'll get something to keep him "relevant" in the race.

Well pataki does have a state rep endorsement (SAW IT ON WIKIPEDIA LOL) but hes a complete joke. Look at his twitter he has NO SUPPORTERS no one supports him lol.

True and XD, but I'd say at this point he should I dunno? Preserve his reputation as a liberal republican? I even doubt a cabinet position but still. If he wants to be of benefit, drop out and endorse Kasich, since they're both moderates.

Maybe Paul...at this point, I'm not sure if his future presidential hopes would be better served dropping out now or staying in until New Hampshire and hoping he does well.

New Jersey would certainly be better off if Christie dropped out, but his elective career is probably done regardless.

Everyone else has nothing to lose or is reasonably well positioned.

Well who knows with Paul he could surge back randomly. If he could get the Ron Paul voters and something happens he could surge you never know. It makes sense for him to wait until New Hampshire/Iowa and see what happens when Carson drops out.

True he should endorse Jeb or Rubio, thats his best bet. He's pretty much irrelevent tho and whats hillarous is Pataki was supposed to be a front runner in 2008.
