The fact that Trump has been leading in the polls by a wide margin ever since he began his campaign would make most logical people think that he is best positioned to win.

They literally can't imagine it. He's not one of them.

Very true. But if Rubio keeps falling into limbo the Donald better have better security than Stalin. The Wizards of Smart inside the Beltway firmly believe that they have to control the political culture and outsiders who disturb the consensus (whatever the consensus is it is right because the political class say it is) have to be either co-opted, marginalized , intimidated or if necessary eliminated. Some sort of George Wallace treatment is coming the Donald's way.

I do too. After seeing 17% of that poll for Cruz, 40% who say the debate he said he won it. And seems to be running excellent campaign. Like his senate campaign, going to rip it open at the right time. Never has a candidate been this close a match for want I want.

Rubio has no chance. None of them do except Trump, unless something happens to him (God forbid).

We’ll see. Cruz won an election that nobody expected him to when he became s Senator.

I think so too. It appears Rubio will be the GOPe favorite guy but I don’t think that will make as much difference as it usually does this time.

Excellent points. Im a Trump supporter but I evolved to this position over time. There are things I like about almost all of the candidates but I think Trump may be the only one to be able to raise HELL in DC. As to Rubio...if he is the nom I’ll vote for him. He is popular almost everywhere except on FR LOL.

It is doubtful that Marco Rubio could carry his home state. There is a reason he’s not running for re-election and it’s not because the lazy so and so is “bored” with the Senate. (He probably couldn’t win.) So it is precise for you to say “almost” everywhere. It is interesting that it is in his home state where his support is the weakest.

We know him well here in Florida. To know Marco is to dislike him. I hope everyone across the country gets to know the lying, money grubbing, backstabbing, amnesty loving, bought and paid for puppet on a string, little commie weasel, just as well as we in Florida do.

There is no way I would ever vote for the sneaky, slithering, snake for any position.

The good thing is they seem to be giving up on Jeb. The bad thing is they will now use Rubio as a"the best all-round compromise".

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

Wishful thinking by a liberal trying to sound relevant. This fool is stealing the money he is being paid.
