Rubio’s job was to split the “not jeb” vote in order to hand florida over to jeb.


I don’t really see how you can say that. Rubio and Jeb are sharing the same voter base. What voter who likes Jeb doesn’t like Rubio, or vice versa?

It’s Rubio and Jeb who are splitting the amnesty vote. Even though there are others on the diaz who support amnesty, such as Carly and Huckabee, they are not primarily amnesty vote-getters. Rubio and Jeb are PRIMARILY amnesty vote-getters. If Rubio stays in, he takes votes from Jeb.

That’s the way I see it.

Jeb always had a problem with the “not jeb” vote. This would mean a certain number of RINO loyalists would just not vote for jeb. Jeb has a ceiling and needs to split the rest up as much as possible. This is why we ended up with such a massive split.

The insiders do not believe Trump will actually spend money.
