Dick Morris: Why Rubio can’t win
The Hill ^ | 02/23/16 | Dick Morris

Posted on 02/24/2016 3:03:07 PM PST by detective

Chris Christie has crashed, John Kasich is ghettoized, Scott Walker self-destructed and nobody bought the idea of Jeb Bush, and now all the king's horses and all the king's men - and Fox News - are trying to shove Marco Rubio down the throats of the Republican electorate.

But they’ll never make the sale.

That hurts. And you didn't even ping me.

i'm wondering why Trump supporters wouldn't rather have had Trump take out the RINO in the race rather than focusing his character assassination on the only other non-establishment candidate, giving the establishment a shot at collecting enough of the residual electorate to steal the nomination.

No problem with street fighters, but Trump compared Ben Carson to a child molester. That’s wrong, harmful, and hateful. I expect more from the potential leader of the free world. He needs to knock off the personal attacks and win on the issues.

Rubio says it's not "Amnesty" but "Comprehensive Reform - and Schumer's lips never move."

Right and at the end of the day you plan to vote for Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriend’s wife.

Exactly what do you expect to accomplish with your insults?

Lots of money out there. Rubio will get his share this next month.

The only one who has beaten and can beat Trump again is Ted Cruz.

The only option for the establishment would be to boost up both Cruz and Rubio so that both of them can win some contests and take delegates away from Trump to force a brokered convention, which the GOPe would then have to hijack.

“but Trump compared Ben Carson to a child molester.”

No he didn’t. He was describing a “pathalogical” condition, not Ben Carson.

I read your post. False or just misleading?

Well for once I think Dick has stumbled on the truth. Rubio is just not digestable. He looks like he’s 13 years old, he does always look sweaty like he’s guilty of something and he blathers on in machine gun fire politispeech til you just put your hands over your ears. Donald Trump has not even started on this kid yet. Wait a week or so.

3 way race; cranky populist - Trump/Sanders, establishment - Hillary/Roobio, conservative - Cruz!

Perfect tagline!

Because Trump, who can’t seem to break the 32% support level


He got 46% in Nevada yesterday.

Trump > Cruz + Rubio

Romney had a landslide in Nevada too and Santorum came back and won a bunch of Southern states right after. It ain’t over til it’s over.

“Trump likens Carson’s ‘pathology’ to that of a child molester”

Romney got over 50% in Nevada and Santorum less than 10%. Santorum then beat him in a bunch of states a week or two later and the Fox News narrative that Romney was inevitable fell apart for a while.

Cruz does better than Trump against Hillary in every single poll that’s been done, including a new one posted here today.
