Donald Trump’s self-destruction will soon manifest itself in a drop in the polls. The problem remains for those GOP voters still seeking a candidate who is a viable alternative to Jeb Bush. It is not likely to be Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who has been outshone by more credible candidates and again showed bad judgment in trying to ingratiate himself with Trump. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., seems practically irrelevant to the race, and his preference to let the Obama administration negotiate with Iran rather than press for sanctions may be the death knell of his effort..
Who then stands to benefit from the end of the Trump boomlet?

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is one of several. In his recent trip to Iowa, he continued to demonstrate mastery and common sense on foreign affairs. On the National Security Agency, he is sober: “This country has lost access to valuable intelligence at a time when we can least afford it, and (the massacre in Chattanooga, Tenn.) is an example of it. ... Radical jihadists have reached our own country, and they are reaching it online and they are radicalizing people here. And we need to know as much about them as possible to prevent future attacks, or we’re going to have more of them.” His best argument for his candidacy may be that the mess President Barack Obama leaves behind will take tremendous skill, knowledge and nerve to undo. (“The next president of the United States has to be committed to intelligence programs, to cyber defense capabilities, someone that’s committed to a strong foreign policy in which our allies trust us.”) In the debates, Rubio will have a chance to show he can throw a punch and take one. His encyclopedic knowledge of policy will serve him well....

Jennifer, you again? Please keep your worthless comments to the Hugh Hewitt show where no one will hear or see them. Silly silly fool.
Rubio? What a joke.
Lindsay Graham will pick up another .036%.
Man, Trump is livin’ in Jenny Rubin’s flat, rent free. She’s hitching her little wagon to Trump, just like she does/did to Palin’s....for the hits.
“Donald Trump’s self-destruction will soon manifest itself in a drop in the polls.”
Amazing how many times I’ve read and heard that today from just about every establishment hack in the country.
I would think it would be Ted Cruz - almost certainly.
I like Rubio. Lots of us girls think he's sexy.
Women.
:)
The question is moot
Fell for the Obamanation/Soros/Progressive relentless lame propaganda, huh?
Jenn helps manufacture that propaganda.
Who flourished when Gov. Reagan self distructed in 1980?
Trump is no Reagan.
You think he could double?
