Trump calls on Rubio to drop out
Politico ^ | March 1, 2016 | Nolan D. McCaskill

Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Marco Rubio to drop out of the 2016 presidential race if he doesn’t do well on Super Tuesday.

“I think he has to get out,” Trump told Fox News in a phone interview. “You know, he hasn’t won anything, and Ted Cruz very rightly points out, you know, Marco has not won.”

Trump, Rubio and Cruz are generally seen as the only three candidates with a viable path to the Republican nomination. Trump has steamrolled to double-digit margins of victory in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. And Cruz won the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses and is expected to win Texas, which awards the largest share of delegates on Tuesday, but Rubio has yet to win a state — though he maintains he will win Florida on March 15.

“Little Marco Rubio, let me tell you, he’s been a disaster for Florida,” Trump said. “Doesn’t show up to vote. Never even shows up to vote. He’s got the highest miss record in the, you know, in the United States Senate, so Marco Rubio’s done a horrible job in Florida. That doesn’t come up for two weeks, but, you know, honestly, I don’t think he could be right now elected a dog catcher in Florida, so we’ll see what happens.”

Trump must feel Rubio supporters would support him over Cruz?

Just saw one national poll posted:

Trump 40%

Cruz + Rubio 39%

Cruz supporters would never support Rubio

Would Rubio supporters favor Trump or Cruz?

Rubio will drop out when the RNC says he can drop out. They’ve been winding him up and sending him out there to attack Trump. Left to his own devices, that is not what Rubio was doing on his own.

Heard Rubio hooked up his water bottle to a siphon when he heard this.

I see the little guy staying in awhile longer. After all, he has a number of sincere believers supporting him, misguided as they are. I think those people will be devastated if Rubio drops out, one of my relatives among them.

Rubio won’t drop out until after he loses his home state of Florida...then he can go crawl under a rock, where he belongs.

Yeah, probably at least until the Florida primary. Also, it would give time for FOX propagandists to duct tape their heads for the explosion.

I think everyone and their mother is ready to vote against a Hillary presidency.

More brilliance from Trump. The only reason Trump has been winning primaries with 30 to 35% is because Rubio and Cruz are both still in.
