A lot of good points made in one article.

Thanks for posting.

Erickson may be right on this.

And yes, Trump ‘will say anything’ as we are seeing.

They both have something to hide.

Hmm? Should be interesting.

if Rubio is indeed nominated, Hilary Clinton thanks you in advance for your support...

Very good article. But I disagree with the Cruz can win. I don’t think so. And I am desperate to keep Clinton out of the White House. If Cruz wins the nomination I am l in for him. But it scares the crap out of me. He has a much harder path. A real long shot.

Never say never. As things stand right now, I’ll take Rubio over Trump.

And if it came down to a Rubio/Hillary race, we all know who you’d vote for.

Uh uh, I fell for that crap last time and held my nose for Romney, my nose-holding days are over.

Right I've heard that before.

Won't work this time. If Kid Amnesty wins we're screwed anyway. So I'll write in my own choice.

With a completely clear conscious.

This Florida Tea Party voter thinks that Marco Rubio is a lyin' skank democrat-lite political bastard ...

My birthday wish is to publicly confront Mr. Gang of Eight at a Florida political forum ... and call him out for the DESPICABLE LIAR he is ...

Hmm, another Townhall ‘Trump is finished’ piece.

As much as these people would like to spin it, Trump’s showing in Iowa wasn’t some huge blow. He was almost never ahead in Iowa, first trailed Carson then Cruz. He fought hard for Iowa but in the end he was a NY boy in farm country.

This race is hardly between Cruz and Rubio. Trump is the clear frontrunner and people need to just accept it.

He has a much harder path. A real long shot.

Quite frankly, any Pub candidate will have a hard time changing the Electoral College map...

He will have to sweep Ohio, Florida, and Virginia, as well as some other smaller tossup, like Iowa...

Republicans have to determine who is best positioned to do that, and vote for him/her...to do otherwise is, well, counterproductive...

Neither Cruz nor Rubio can win a national election. And I am factoring in Hillary Clinton being hauled away at some juncture.

Many of us here at FR believe the US still has as many conservatives as we did in the 1980’s.

And sadly, we don’t.

It will be a hard path in the sense that everything will be thrown at Cruz, but I don’t buy the MSM/dem/conventional wisdom theory that a conservative can’t win the general.

The moderates are the ones with a terrible track record of losing the general.

Gee Eric “Establishment” Erickson explain this.

Despite non stop hit pieces from you and the rest of the “Conservative” media machine, and the “greatest ground game in history” Cruz leaves Iowa with only 1 more delegate then Trump/Rubio.

So what other state, other then Iowa and his home state of Texas,, do you think Cruz is going to win?

First off, welcome to Free Republic.

Second, don't buy into the media spin that Cruz can't win. He has never been treated fairly by the media and when people start to learn about how he tried to help his sister and her son people will see he is not the "bad guy" that those who fear him try to make him out to be. He is not liked in DC because he will change things. When he went to the Senate he didn't join the "old boys club" and they hate him for it.

I love him for it!

Agreed and that is why I am arguing for Rubio.
