Conservatives call for GOP candidates to drop out after 2nd debate: 'Time to thin the herd'
Fox News
Conservatives on social media called for the GOP presidential field to narrow after Wednesday's debate with several calling for a one-on-one matchup between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Trump.
"The DeSantis strategy is do well in Iowa, the bottom three or four candidates should drop out at this point, they have no hope," Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz said on FOX Business.

"It’s a two-man race at this point," political commentator Rob Smith posted on X. "I believe DeSantis will surprise in Iowa and New Hampshire, and it will completely reset the conversation. I am not paid to promote anyone, I call it as I see it."
