They are doing so because their momentum is based more on name identification and not on records or ground games.

Carson has more of a ground game than the author might imagine. He has some seriously commited people putting in the time heer in Georgia, that's for sure.

And if it DID come down to Cruz vs. Rubio, the Drive-By media would STILL call the Republican Party anti-Latino.

If Rubio hadn’t gone all in on immigration, I’d be game. Instead, he comes off as more of a contrived, over-scripted Washington stooge now. I have seldom been more impressed with a candidate than Rubio 2010. I have seldom been more letdown than his crappy sales job on a Schumer bill to sell out America.

“I think Trump will fade...”

And I stopped reading.

LOL. The guy leading all the polls by a lot is just going to disappear?

Meanwhile, I continue to think Trump will find an excuse to quit the race sometime this winter unless he’s implausibly bounced out to such a huge lead in the polls that he looks to be a walkover winner in Iowa and/or New Hampshire.

Wishful thinking.

It was not The Donald that dropped out of the Presidential race, so why is he already being dismissed and marginalized in the inner circles?

Still the Big Dawg, and he clearly is NOT on the porch.

He has no clue. I have seen Trump on TV for years. I am not supporting him because I have seen him on TV for years, but for what he campaigns on. I have seen Jeb! on TV for years. I have seen Rubio on TV for years. That is why I don’t support them; I know what they stand for: amnesty, for one.

Hold on there, hoss. May be some scandals Rubio may have to spend big bucks burying now or ride out later. Just rumors, to be sure, but something to keep in the back of your mind.

Trump ain’t gonna fade...

Trump’s numbers are too high for him to be fading.

Right now he is the one aligned most closely with Republican VOTERS on immigration and Iran.

AllahPundit has been writing/hoping this forever. Same narrative, with some different words and scenarios.

Is Ted Cruz the new frontrunner for the nomination?

I’d never vote for Rubberio, he’s shown he’s way too flexible with his Gang activities.

I’m still planning on voting for Cruz in March.

If Trump is the only way to beat The Cheap Labor Express, that’s the way I’ll go.

OK so understanding that the writer is also part of the establishment or at best a - wanna-be, if Rubio is getting Walker/Bush money people (then that tells me Walker was establishment-life and Rubio is Bush Jr.)

Cruz does have the money to stay in for the long haul but I'm much less sure Trump will fade and Carson has much more than "name recognition," he has credibility, something that Rubio has NOT!

Wow Allahidiot , another sea of pure nonsense from an anonymous Rhino blogger from the DC establishment owned Salem Communication which is home to Hughy and Erik.
This secretive blogger adores amnesty and any push polls from Natey Silver !
This clueless amnesty cheerleader has been swooning over Rubio for a long time .

Believe little from this pro amnesty blogger who spews non stop DC talking points as facts .

Are we destined for a “Rubio versus Cruz” primary?

Would be an order of magnitude improvement over what we have now.

Reason #41,859 of why you shouldn't pay attention to these blogger political analysts, as they mostly write nothing but total garbage like this.

Will Candidate #1 Who's Consistently Polled In Single Digits get into a two-man race with Candidate #2 Who's Consistently Polled In Single Digits?

Answer: No. There, saved you a lot of time wondering about it.

Fiorina has name recognition? I never heard of her until she declared!

And Trump has been surging in the polls for months - it’s not just name recognition. The writer lives in a dream world.

Carson may fade but he’s going out swinging!

Donald Trump has bits of Erick Erickson in his stool.
