Rubio downplays poor Super Saturday showings
The Hill ^ | March 05, 2016 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 03/05/2016 7:02:09 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

Presidential hopeful Marco Rubio is downplaying his perfomance in the four states that held GOP caucuses or primaries on Saturday, saying that he had had long known “this would be the roughest period of the campaign.”

Speaking primarily in Spanish at a press conference in Puerto Rico, where voters will head to the polls on Sunday, the Florida senator noted that the contests in Kansas, Maine, Kentucky and Louisiana are proportional, saying he’ll leave them with more delegates than he started with.

Rubio is eyeing his home state, which will vote on March 15, as the turning point for his campaign. There are 99 delegates up for grabs in that winner-take-all contest, although front-runner Donald Trump leads in the polls.

Lose a little in every state and make it up in volume.

Denial must be Marco Rubio’s middle name.

Oh, I think his campaign will definitely turn on March 15th.

Little Marco has less than 10 days to get to a winning position in Florida. I don’t think he’s going to do it.

Today was the first day of early voting in Florida. There was a decent number of people there, considering there will be ten days for them to vote. How people were casting their votes, I haven’t a clue, but I think the larger the turnout, the better Trump will do. And it portends to be a large turnout.

Downplays them?!!! He should be announcing he is getting out of the race. What’s to downplay? Even Kaisich is now beating him.

I think it already has... Rubio is just making a fool of himself now. He and Kasich can hardly draw flies.

Rubio is trying to be the Ross Perot of this election.

After Super Tuesday Cruz announced that his strategy was the lose all the early states, then win FL. So far, he’s only slipped up once by winning Minnesota.

I had no idea. At first I blamed it on the ibuprofen, then I realized it was the electoral emotion. I used to give a good copulation about it but then I found this ...

Knowing Spanish will get you a foreman job of a landscaping crew. Mandarin is the hot setup going forward if you expect to be a major domo in business.
