        @HeerJeet I guess we're not likely to see a Santorum surge.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        @HeerJeet I don't think his rivals are all surging. But he's stuck at 25 percent, and the not-Trump center-right vote looks more like 45.

        @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT surge behind? What an unusual phrase. Usually the good news story is surging ahead.

        @HeerJeet In 1980 Bush talked about having the "Big Mo" (momentum). But that momentum came right as Reagan was clinching the nomination.

        @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT Surely this is just the third tier candidates being abandoned? That's deck chair shuffling, not a surge.
