15. Unfortunately it's too late to remove him from the ballot

We need others to drop out as well, I'm not sure I'm a Porter fan anymore and Steyer makes me nervous but we need those two to pretty much have a clear field so we don't end up with Bianco and Hilton 1 and 2.

In the worst case scenario if the GOP gets 1 & 2 in the primary I'm assuming Steyer would run as an independant in the general since he has the money and the organization to pull it off. In that case I have to believe he would win but I'd rather not get into that situation.
