According to multiple news sources, Marco Rubio's advisers are telling him to drop out of the presidential race before losing his home state of Florida in a few days time.

CNN is reporting that "Most of the senator's advisers agree he does not have a path to the nomination and some are advising him to get out ahead of the March 15 primary ."

Privately, the campaign is having a debate about whether he should remain in the mix -- even for his home state of Florida's primary.

"He doesn't want to get killed in his home state," one source familiar with the discussions said, noting "a poor showing would be a risk and hurt his political future."

In Florida, a Monmouth poll released Monday shows Rubio behind Trump, 38% to 30%. A Quinnipiac poll put Rubio behind Trump by an even wider margin: 44% to 28%.

Sources within the campaign also say the pressure will only continue to mount following an expected disappointing showing Tuesday (tomorrow), when voters in Michigan, Mississippi, Hawaii and Idaho make their picks in the GOP primary.

"Not going to have a great day is an understatement," one campaign source said.

"I don't want to waste my vote tomorrow," said several Hawaii caucus voters to local canvassers. "My family wants to help pick the right nominee, not tomorrow's likely dropout. It's bad enough that Rubio supports amnesty for job-stealing illegal aliens, including the 40,000 right here on Oahu who just got driver's licenses from Republican legislators who support Rubio. This is really bad. Rubio should drop out."

Not a thing wrong it!

Just another attempted smear on Ted Cruz by a desperate "Little Man" Rubio.
