The runaway front-runner to date has been immune from criticism that other politicians normally face, for instance, over flip-flopping on issues.

“We are not going to turn over the conservative movement … to someone whose positions are not conservative … to someone who thinks the nuclear triad is a rock band from the 1980s”, Rubio said. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson admitted this week he had no path to victory and wouldn’t participate in the debate, though he hasn’t explicitly ended his campaign just yet. “Sometimes you ask for more than you want”.
