I think Rubio’s pro-amnesty views will sink him.

This article assumes the implosion of Trump, which I am not sure will happen.

I agree that Cruz is the most solid person in the race and will undoubtedly endure to the end.

Yes, that’s what we need .. charisma and eloquence .. forget brains .. and the ability to see what mass immigration will do to this country.

Trump/Cruz .. or America is just about done for.

For Marco Rubio to have remained silent ... and thus 100% behind Mitch McConnell ... during and after this amazing and courageous speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate should doom him alone ...

“Trump/Cruz .. or America is just about done for.”

I think trump/Cruz is wht will shake out. I am a Yuge!! Cruz supporter, but I think without Trump to run interference he will be eaten alive by the GOPe.

Scott Rasmussen has it right!


Of all the politicians left in the race, Cruz is the only one likely to have any appeal to supporters of Trump, Carson and Fiorina.



Were Donald Trump to exit the race, Ted Cruz would EASILY be the ONLY acceptable choice!

After todays job report, I think Trump will be the last man standing.

True, Rubio’s silence makes him as deplorable as squirrel head Paul’s unadvised remarks made him. Both are cowards.

For many reasons TRUMP/CRUZ would likely produce the most progress moving the country towards the right direction. If disciplined, Trump and his celebrity could broaden the base and blunt the media, with Cruz the constitutional and govt mechanic behind the scenes working towards succession. Bush was Reagan’s biggest mistake. Trump may be much smarter than people think. I am convinced Trump and Cruz are playing off an agreed upon strategery.

I agree.

Then you’re left with Cruz.

You’e also left with...

Democrats voting in our primaries selecting a more Leftist person than Cruz
Moderate Republicans who think the Tea Party members are terrorists
Conservatives who think Cruz is just right

What comes of that? A Cruz nomination...?

This is a dream of fantasy for Cruz supporters.

He will never get the nomination.

You are so right. I have never seen an election with this much energy. It is going to be a barn burner in the closing days.

I hope that by debate time there will be fewer candidates on the stage. It is time to focus on the serious contenders without all the background noise.

Rubberio killed any chance I would vote for him when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens.

NO AMNESTY CANDIDATES!

I don’t know how much faith we should put in Scott. He was wrong last time.

Rubio has views that are not consistent with that of most conservatives. He’s kinda sweet and boyish looking but eloquent? Not so much.

Trump’s momentum has not slowed down that I can see. He draws huge crowds. Are they there because he’s a celebrity? I don’t think so. He was always a celebrity but he couldn’t have filled up a phone booth before he ran. He is enormously eloquent in an odd way. His speeches are not orchestrated or rehearsed sounding, but they are spellbinding.

I’m for Cruz. Some people here say he’s not attractive and does not have charisma. I can only assume they are for another candidate and afraid of him because he has immense charisma and is very attractive. He’s not a pretty boy but in a solidly masculine way he’s extremely good looking.

So true and funny:
Some see Ohio Gov. John Kasich as a possibility, but there is little evidence he has any support beyond a small group of reporters.
I can see this scenario but I will never vote Rubio in the primary. Cruz is my #1 and only one else on my list is Trump.

No poll is mentioned in the article which was an opinion piece by Scott Rasmussen.
