I doubt it. Cruz still has money. Can stay in for chance at contested convention. UNLESS HE LOSES TEXAS. If he loses Texas, he will suspend campaign.

If Cruz endorces Rubio, Trump will go up at least 3-5% in the polls, as the folks who backed Cruz thinking he was a principled conservative, and anti amnesty, see him sell out... those folks will either stay home or go Trump.

If Rubio wants maximum a benefit from Cruz exist, the better path is probably for Cruz to endorce no one I would think.

Time will tell.

This sounds more like a rubio created myth which got sent to trump instead of being dropped by rubio since no one would believe it if it came from them.

I highly doubt this could possibly be true.

First even if cruz drops out the chance of rubio winning is zero. If rubio dropped out I could see cruz bringing it to a brokered convention.

Second Cruz would have to be a complete idiot to believe that rubio can win vs trump but also win vs clinton/sanders once again not possible.

Third he’d have to be a complete retard to believe that the GOPe will keep a promise.

This whole thing smacks of a leak of fake info to trumps people. Their is zero downside for rubio to leak this fake info. That plus their is zero downside for trumps people to run it... rubio can leak it to them and it will sound much more credible.

For what it’s worth.

It’s worth nothing...it’s nothing more than another routine day-before-voting hit-piece by Trump connected political operatives.

Wouldn’t be too surprised. Most of the polls I’ve seen show Trump beating Rubio head to head. After Super Tuesday Trump’s numbers will only increase as he will be seen by everyone as the winner, and the bandwagon effect will kick in, and he’ll steamroll right over Rubio and anyone else, even if Rubio gets out and Romney jumps in.

I have a friend who did some work for Stone. He had to sue him to get paid.

No, it’s not pointless at all. The point is, Rubio can’t carry it against Trump, but he can be replaced with someone else..i for got who..Romney I think.

Eventually, the votes can be funnelled to Clinton. THAT is the point.

I guess this is what I was hearing about this weekend. Sad.

Exactly, Cruz’s voters won’t universally go Rubio, in fact I’d say somewhere around 20-30% of his voters will go Trump or just stay home before they would go Rubio.

If Cruz quits, Trump will get more of his supporters than will Rubio.
Not voting for Rubio.

Timing is everything, right?
So all Cruz has to do to torpedo this story is send out one Tweet. It’s still over 24 hours until the polls close on ST.
The Carson thing was right at the start of caucus time.

Trump very publicly fired Stone last August, days after the first debate.

There is no connection, and Stone is not a Trump insider.

A few here have predicted this, as well. Should’ve bookmarked those posts.
