Rubio Now Tops GOP Field After 3rd Place Iowa Finish
Radix News ^ | 2/2/2016 | Radix News

Posted on 02/02/2016 9:14:33 AM PST by Abakumov

Marco Rubio was the big winner in Monday’s Iowa caucus according to one prediction web site, vaulting into a commanding lead in the Republican race for the White House. ElectionBettingOdds.com, which tracks probabilities based on actual wagers for candidates, shows support for Rubio spiked overnight from around 32% to 54.3%, putting him firmly in the lead of the Republican pack. Support for previous front runner Donald Trump was virtually cut in half, from just over 51% to under 25.6%. Ted Cruz, who actually won in Iowa, nudged up slightly from the 10% range to 13.3%.

This is such nonsense.

Isn’t this the same group that had Trump as a lock for Iowa?

Rubio tops field after THIRD place finish.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Jeb Bush must be in second.

Michael Reagan was on Salem Radio, the media arm of the GOPe, praising Rubio as the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

The GOPe has found its man.

Marco Rubio did well because he hasn’t gotten much negative press. Nothing much positive, either. That is all about to change.

yeah, this might be what is called a pump and dump if it’s real money.

I’m a Cruz guy and what exactly big happened last night?

Cruz got on average 4 or 5 percent more than the polls predicted, trump 4 or 5 less, and also rubio 4 or 5 more.

they weren’t off by 25 points, which they will need to be in NH for my boy or Rubio to win.

But Trumpers, stop worrying about Cruz and hoping he’s in third. Cause you might wake up and find trump in second!!

Cruz voters are not the enemy

In my opinion, Rubio voters are.

we will have instantly 15 million new citizens.

Ted? yeah, he did mention legal status, but I’m hoping for sessions and other to come down on him if he gets the nod

we know where donald stands and I tell my family Trump or Cruz, but NOT rubio!!!!

The same mentality convinced many that Mitt Romney was a sure thing. If the GOP-E tells you the sky is blue, you best step outside and have a look for your self. Rubio did well in Iowa -- he surprised many coming so close to Trump. But he has less of a chance at being POTUS this go around than Romney did.

Just like Carson and Fio-RINO, each had their surge that quickly faded once they were exposed by the media.

Rubio was in the “gang of eight “ and was Chuck Schumer’s boy for passage of the Amnesty bill that was crushed in the Senate and by real conservatives. He was politically destroyed way back then. He had told Florida voters that he was “not for Amnesty” to get elected and after that lie he PROMOTED THE AMNESTY BILL!! which did absolutely nothing on our borders. Those of you that have false hopes in this establishment puppet better get ready for a real exposing of this boy by Donald J. Trump.

I sure hope all this hatin’ between the Trump and Cruz factions doesn’t end up giving us the GOPe amnesty punk Rubio.
