Rubio is the GOPe go-to guy now. He was the big winner. The other guys (Jeb included) will be starved of money. It’ll all go to Rubio.
Cruz and Trump will knock each other. Rubio will move up.
Rubio will be the ‘guy that can win’ - like Romney was...and McCain was. He will be the guy that comes through after Trump and Cruz kill each other.
I have trouble seeing Rubio play in New Hampshire.
He is so obviously insincere in everything.
I agree.
Plus there is 12% support still in for “no-hopers” Bush Christie Huckabee Paul, that probably reapportions to Rubio. (ok, Maybe not Paul)
The real question is what happens to Cruz voters if Trump lasts longer than Cruz, and what happens to Trump voters if Cruz outlasts him.
Would Cruz voters who are doctrinaire Conservatives go to Trump who isn’t? I don’t know.
Would Trump voters who like a brash macho style switch to the rather odd personality of Cruz? I don’t know.
They’re both anti-establishment, in that sense they might move back and forth between Cruz and Trump, and it’s also hard to see them switch to Rubio if immigration is what they really care about, but that’s where the puzzle is.
Also what happens to Carson’s support assuming he gradually diminishes?
Rubio WOULD win... on looks alone. Put him up against Hillary? pffft!
Sometimes.... like Dole vs Clinton... it really is, JUST THAT EASY to know who would win.
There are others on our side that can win too... but, not as easily with the uninformed.
I will not vote for Schubio.
