How to stop Trump? That’s the collective mantra of the mass media. It’s a natural question to ask of a man curiously portrayed as some sort of Republican juggernaut, which he’s not. I sat in speechless befuddlement and amusement as I watched Fox News analysts on Saturday night marvel at a proclaimed political superman who corralled not even one-third of the South Carolina vote.
Donald Trump is actually consistently drawing a lower percentage of Republican votes than Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are drawing Democrat votes. The very revealing reason, at least to anyone who understands math, is easy to add up: Hillary and Bernie are in a two-person race, whereas Trump has been in everything from a six-person to, gee, even a dozen-person race. Trump grabs a third of Republican votes, while the other Republicans split the remaining two thirds.
This is a political colossus? A one-thirder? Are the math skills of Americans really this challenged? Another triumph of our public schools.

If Sen. Cruz does not get the nomination that would be a good alternative.
Hate to lose him as my Senator though...
.
Why would you want to “stop Trump” who represents what the vast majority of people want?
Sore Loser maybe?
No, I just don’t want to see a lifelong liberal like Trump, Clinton, or Sanders in the White House.
Kengor siding with amnesty pimp Rubio saying it’s the only way to keep Donald Trump from making America great again by solving our immigration (both illegal and legal) fiasco.
Not buying it.
Why would I ever read a column that doesn’t have stopping the open borders candidates as it’s highest priority?
From the title alone I know that this is desperate Chamber of Amnesty slop.
I also know that one hundred percent of the people who would promote drek like this are the same voters who brought us McCain and Romney as candidates.
No thanks.
They were right . in fact at Xmas event , a relative shouted to a room full of mix political group to vote for trump and clean out DC and the room exploded with cheers. Rubio is a dirty word to that crowd.
The one the GOPe hates is Cruz.
At this point I tend to think they mostly hate him for his personality, not so much his principles. The Super PAC people have no problem giving him tens of millions, and that’s who funds the GOPe campaigns. He was all for the Gang of Eight bill to pass with LPR status for illegals until Cantor getting primaried put the fear of God into all of them. TPA, Corker Bill... he explains it all away and those faithful stay true to him, but his act doesn’t strike everyone as genuine.
These are DEMOCRATS who are willing to vote Republican this year because they can’t stand Hillary and Bernie.
Then you say
They are centrist and conservative REPUBLICANS.
I understand how you could get confused when talking about democrats and rinos.
Agreed 100%. This must be done.
Cruz/Rubio is a toxic nightmare. LOL!
Two candidates who can’t win join together? Sounds like the Sears / KMart merger.
Just goes to show the world’s second oldest profession is much like the oldest.
1)Rubio will not drop out he is GOPe man.
2) Cruz will not be getting out anytime soon and when/if he does his voters will be split between Rubio and Trump.
3) Super Tuesday is in 8 days.
4) I almost feel sorry for the establishment. This article is pointless.
What is the difference between Rubio a Owned amnesty traitor , crony capitalist bag boy , and big supporter of Treason TPP and a pathetic puppet of the Global elite ? Rubio is the pawn of left wing Open borders Zuckerberg.
He is nicknamed , Zuckerbergs personal senator .
Literally no difference between Rubio and Clinton or Bernie.
Cruz is another owned TPP traitor but in no way a complete traitor like Rubio .
Rubio lies to us in his native language of Spanish .
But that does not bother you . Like I said poster earlier ,thanks for confirming what your really all about .
Conservatives hated Romney the severe conservative. The RINO GOPe loved him and they used their friends in the media to hide what he really was — a socialist. They will try to give Marcobot the Romney workup and tell everyone what a great TEA party conservative he is. I assure you Marco is not loved by conservatives in his home state of Florida. There are not enough words to describe how much he is hated here.
An all Hispanic ticket. Great.
“These are Democrats who are willing to vote Republican this year because they can’t stand Hillary and Bernie. They are centrist and conservative Republicans.”
Can’t really get a grip on that.
Anyway, that democrats don’t like Trump is not surprising.
Rubio wont stop Hillary, Rubio will be destroyed by Hillary.
Cruz lacks the charisma Trump has
