There's still a chance that Marco Rubio could secure the Republican nomination as the U.S. presidential candidate for 2016, with John Kasich as his running mate.

My prediction, while seemingly improbable (though certainly no more so than if you had predicted Donald Trump would become the Republican front runner and discuss his manhood at a GOP debate) comes after careful consideration of the Florida senator's operations and ground game in Florida.

Despite a poor showing in Tuesday's primaries and polls indicating Rubio is losing Florida, his knowledge of the Sunshine state and his grassroots support from locals could ultimately bring a surprise victory in his home state. Florida has always been an odd-duck for pollsters, given the diversity of the population, its age and a poor showing yesterday in the primaries income disparity, its opposing ideologies and nuanced community needs.

If Trump and Cruz are both caught in the same room with a dead girl or live boy.

MSM is going to be really bummed out when the primaries end and nobody watches them any more.
Donald Trump made them MILLIONS.

Reminds me of Gunga Dan manically explaining on election-night in 2004 how that Kerry guy could still pull it out.

Is Rubio quoted screaming, “Allahu Akbar” at any point in this article? If not, it is patent nonsense.

Well, apparently winning by finishing 3rd hasn’t proved as effective as we were told...

I am a Buffalo Bills fan (it’s okay). Every year, around mid-December, we get stories in the local press how, mathematically, the Bills can secure a playoff berth. Those fans who think with their heart and not their head, gain false hope, because, they never do make it. Don’t be like a Bills fan, Rubio supporters, it ain’t going to happen.

I’ve always heard that a candidate cannot pick a running mate prior to nomination, that’s why you never see it done.
