Marco Rubio's presidential campaign in New Hampshire collapsed because voters "made a judgment he's not ready to be president of the United States," Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said Wednesday, and he believes the Florida senator's chances are slim unless he pulls off a miracle.
"A fifth place finish in New Hampshire means effectively he's bleeding out," Schmidt, a political analyst for MSNBC, told the network's "Morning Joe" program. "That campaign is effectively over unless he can pull off a miracle and win the Nevada caucuses. He doesn't have a path in South Carolina.
"But with most of the focus going to front-runner Donald Trump, Milbank said, Rubio never got enough scrutiny, and when he hit the spotlight after his third-place finish in Iowa, "voters found an empty suit. Watching him campaign last week, I wrote: 'Rubio's strong Iowa finish has brought new attention â€" and overcapacity crowds â€" in New Hampshire. But the would-be supporters are greeted by a robot.'"

Yep - it may just be another Schmidt storm.
With amnesty, Rubio has a bad case of pedrophilia.
If Trump wins I still expect he’ll pick Rubio as VP.
Eddie H—perfect—I hadn’t paid attention to the guy but when I heard him speak after Iowa I knew I didn’t like him—he seemed just too polished to trust. Or, as we like to say around here, “there is no there there”.
“Not a Rubio fan, but Schmidt effectively collapsed long ago.”
I agree with that. Anything Schmidt has to say I have to take with a big, make that a huge dose of salt.

I like what you like to say....
I listened to some of Laura’s show and did not hear her pimping for Kasich. Immigration is the number 1 issue for Laura. I find it hard to believe she would support an open borders globalist.

“he’s not ready to be president of the United States,”
The understatement of the century.

good one : )
I can't write him off permanently.
I would agree with you if... and only if
Cruz is unavailable on account of his Attorney General appointment...
Cruz will be unavailable because he will be in the Senate. Besides, Trump doesn't think he's eligible.
As for Rubio, he'll jump at the change. After January 2nd he'll need a job.
...some good news.
