With four days until New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the Republican contest is tightening at the top and churning in the middle as one third of likely Republican voters say they could still change their mind, according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll released Friday.

Rubio is the worst choice for nominee. He is a consummate liar and known traitor. He is even worse then Bush. He is the enemy of both conservatives and nationalists. He must not be the nominee.

No, the effect is that the Iowa winner usually does not perform well in NH. Re: Huckabee and Santorum, and many others in past elections.

Yeah, winning Iowa almost has a negative effect on New Hampshire voters. They view the Iowa winner as part of the crazy religious right and instinctively want to pick someone else.

A first presidential campaign with limited face time in a state tailor made for Cruz where he basically lived during the campaign, and after a controversial move skipping the debate, coming in second and only one delegate less? Actually all things considered, pretty good.

Rubio?

I simply will not vote for him. He Made promises (Immigration) to the Floriduh voters when he ran for U.S. Senate and then broke them once he got to Washington and started having slumber parties with McCain and Graham. He conspired with Chuck Schumer to screw over the American Public and the Hard Working people in this country.

He is a known Liar and Fraud. He spent money on a Political Party’s Credit Card for Personal use. HE IS A CROOK.

He is someone that under no condition should be trusted.

I will NEVER under any condition support Marco Rubio. It aint happening!

What will we remember from Iowa in 6 months? The definition of a Trumpertantrum. :)

Cruz has had his 15 minutes. If he can stay in til TX he might have a shot at that one but that’s about it.

If you win New Hampshire as a Republican, it just means your a RINO.

Agree. I think Trump could take the lead on this since it seems Cruz has written off NH.

Not at all. Cruz has MORE visits scheduled (12) than anyone who isn't camping there (Kasich, Christie). He has an well-organized ground game. He may not be blowing as much money in a heavily saturated NH media market largely served by nearby (expensive) Boston. Unfortunately, if Cruz polls at 7 and comes in at 21% for a close Third place, he won't get the kind of coverage that Rubio got for exceeding expectations.

Rubio told Ramos that he will keep Obama’s exec. order allowing wetbacks to stay here

I think all the candidates should remind people that Rubio is an Amnesty Pimp

He’d likely be a Designated Loser or if he wins, he’ll give away the country by abandoning the rule of law.

hmmm...how could he ‘give the country away’ if he’s the designated loser of the general election...?

if the prospect of Rubio running upsets you so much, there’s another candidate with the initials HRC, who will gladly accept your contribution, even if it’s just staying at home...

So, who drops out after NH? My money is on Christie and Fiorina. NH should be Christie’s last stand and Fiorina looks like she’s already done.

I think Carson might stay through South Carolina to see how he does with less competition and then he’ll pull out, if not sooner. Either Bush or Kasich should be done after SC also, probably Kasich.

The race for the nomination is not going to end any time soon. Three guys have the ability and funding to fight it out all the way to the convention. If you believe steel sharpens steel that is not a bad thing. If you’re a Kumbaya type it’s horrible.

Fiorina has been running for VP since the beginning. And she has acquitted herself well. She is ideal to unleash on Hillary Zedong.
