Yea, he won the one here in 2010 by propagating a lie so convincingly that it bit him in the hind quarters when he teamed up and co-authored with Schumer. What was really stunning is that he thought he could lie his way out of that one too.

This is actually a pretty balanced article. There are some things I don't agree with, but taken all in all it is pretty good. I am sure the Trump supporters will think that it is all wrapped up and everyone should just bow down to Donald's greatness, but elections are not won by bluster. I agree with the writer. Only three men remain who can chart a path to nomination, excluding some earth changing event. I think that Rubio has the most difficult path and must win somewhere.

In any event, Trumpers, don't think that everyone who doesn't embrace your man is stupid or unamerican. When this is over, whoever wins must pick up the pieces of the party and beat whichever Socialist that the Dems run against us. That means that Trump (if he serious about being a Republican), Cruz, and Rubio must come together after the Convention. We cannot allow our country to go through Socialism another four years!

He’s probably right Rubio picking up support as people drop out of the race, but I think he’s wrong about Carson’s supporters. I think they go to Cruz and Trump when Carson drops out.

I especially like the part where he says Rubio isn’t a panderer! Ha ha ha ha!

What was the Gang of Ocho?....What is instate tuition for illegals!? Yeah Rubio doesn’t pander. Ha ha!

What a joke.

I would say they’re the only ones with a realistic shot at this point. Things could change.

It’s well written and thought out even if you disagree with some of his assumptions.

After the Iowa caucuses we will know if Trump has a viable organization and if his supporters are actually able to participate in a Republican party event. If his support is actually disaffected democrats and independents it will make it difficult for Trump to gain the nomination.

The same thing applies in New Hampshire but in a slightly different way. How many of those disaffected democrats will vote for their next door neighbor Bernie Sanders?

If either Cruz or Rubio (or both) do well in South Carolina they stay in the race. I predict one of them will and will ride the Southern Baptist and pro-life voters to the Southern primary. The south will determine this year’s nominee.
