There it is, plain and simple. However, Trump would not win against Hillary in these recent polls.

My main reason for posting this is that there are some voters who might vote for a candidate they don't like as much, JUST BECAUSE they think they can beat Hillary.

I am not interested in a Cruz-Rubio match up, but that is the title of the article.

Foolish argument.

Kasich does better than Rubio and Cruz against Hillary.

And Bernie does better than Hillary against all republicans.

If this silly argument held any water, the general election should be between Kasich and Bernie. So, this author should either endorse Kasich or shut the hell up.

Cruzbots & Foambots are messing with the polls. The TDS people vote for anyone but Trump.

That gives me an idea for a Ben Garrison picture.

-All these pundits foaming at the mouth which makes a big foam bath and Rubio is in the bath reading WSJ or whatever or Guam polling.

If Cruz helps Rubio outside of saying “Rubio-is-more-statesman-like” he will hurt any future runs he makes.

Neither of these wet behind the ears kids can beat Hillary, no matter what stupid polls might claim. And THAT is one of THE worst tickets I have EVER seen proffered ! Neither is a NBC and neither are fit for any higher office!

Me neither!

A Republican candidate needs to win 1,237 of the 2,472 total delegates in order to become the presumptive nominee.
Marco "Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio's PRIMARY GOAL IS His job is to PREVENT ANYONE from obtaining enough delegates in The 2016 Endorsement Primary, so that

It’s been said “If you torture the data long enough it will say what you want.”

Taking all these “second choice” polls and their respective percentages of who would take who IF Donald is taken out and then somehow combining those percentages (curiously not mentioned as what percentage of the entire slate of candidates’ supporters) to reveal, voila!, some concoction that says, “Rubio or Cruz beats Hillary” is absurd.

This wasn’t a specific poll for that; it is a mishmash of wishful extrapolation of orthogonal data from RCP averages that leaves out some very basic obstacles - like how exactly Trump magically disappears from the entire data set.

If you evaluate the bulk of Rubio’s comments, votes, and actions, you would conclude he is strongly pro-Amnesty. That disqualifies him in my mind, and a Trump-Rubio ticket is (with Trump-Jeb and Trump-Kasich) one of the few things that could turn me against Trump (my #2 pick).

If you evaluate the bulk of Cruz’s comments, votes, and actions, you would conclude he is strongly against Amnesty. That, with his history of actions and votes supporting constitutional government, makes him the best candidate in the race, in terms of how he would actually govern as President. [Trump is probably more electable, but I think Cruz would do the job better.] Despite that, a Cruz-Rubio ticket is (with Cruz-Jeb and Cruz-Kasich) one of the few things that could turn me against Cruz (my #1 pick).

Trump supporters see the glass half empty or half full and Cruz supporters see water spots on the glass. ;-)

Rubio is Bush light. I’d rather see Cruz and Trump team up.

I voted for someone I didn’t like (as much) to stop Obama. It didn’t work out. From now on out I vote for whoever the hell I want to vote for.

A Dutch marriage like that will only show more clearly how many decisions are pure calculation. Sickening.

Now that they have both gone full “”Happy Jack”, they are not going anywhere.

I think Trump is the wrong choice, but he is going to win. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
