“You didn’t get any national delegates in Iowa. If you don’t do well in New Hampshire, the press will treat you as if you don’t exist unless it’s to make snide comments about how you should drop out. What support you do have in Nevada and South Carolina will go down, not up. And then, when you do eventually drop out, it will be a tiny blurb or mention. Alternatively, if you drop out as soon as it’s clear you won’t win, you will get tons of positive press coverage and praise.”
