Well Rubio is going to have to win without my help.

The bastard won’t get my help.
Trump or Cruz or lose!!!!!
Obama has a lot of Charisma. He is likeable. He made a lot of promises and people wanted him to succeed. They know he didn't.
Hillary has zero charisma. None. Her voice is so grating that nobody in their right mind would want to elect her to any position where she might interrupt their favorite reality show to give some speech.
Sanders is a nothing. He has the same support base that George McGovern had, college students who have never held a job in their entire lives. Additionally he comes off as stupid, he doesn't know anything about anything and a talking monkey could beat him in a debate.
It wont make a difference.
Allen West was bigger than Tim Scott in 2011/2012 and his endorsement didn’t save the guy who got beaten by the large animal vet.
Some of these incumbent congress members had every single reputed conservative: Bachmann, Allen West & others endorsing them and they got thrown for a new choice.
I thought Trey Gomez(R-SC) and his 1/2 million twitter/facebook followers was going to help Rubio win Iowa.
What scares me about Rubio, is that this guy has done nothing. Just like with Obama. Rubio is going to be way in over his head.
The sore loserman crybaby who is calling for new elections?
You want him carrying the nuclear football?
We might have needed the Trump we thought was running. But that guy is an illusion. Sorry. The veneer came off that turkey today.
Prescient comment. Who did Nixon beat in 1972? McGovern?
Boo.....we are on opposite sides. That’s ok. This will be over soon enough and back on the same side again. I can’t believe we are only on state number 2.......wow.....long way to go.
I say give credit where it is do. Rubio is the only politician in DC who has accomplished anything in diminishing Obamacare. What he did was get a rider inserted in some spending bills that put a cap on what the insurance companies can receive in subsidies. Because of it, the insurance companies cannot get enough money to bail them out from their decision to support Obamacare in the first place, thus we have today where they are losing their shirts. He inserted a virus that is killing it from the inside out.
“WOW almost all republican senators so far have endorsed Rubio. Must be popular in senate. Scott, Toomey, Ernst among others.”
My theory is that the establishment has finally become resigned to the fact that their favorite, Jeb, is out. So they look at the remaining viable ones (Cruz, Trump, Rubio) for a replacement. Given past history, of the three, Rubio is by far the most easy to co-opt and corrupt (as he has already proven), hence their endorsements.
Yes. Nobody accused Nixon of being the highlight of the party. Remember the iconic photo of Nixon walking in the surf in his wingtips.
What gave you the idea Trump would act like a career politician? To me that is exactly why I am supporting Trump. He does not worry about PC, smooth talk, polished debate, etc. Trump is from business world where integrity and trust and honesty means something.
You go ahead and choose the career politician. I will support the America first patriot and businessman. I have no problem if he calls out lies about Dr Carson in Iowa spread by the bible believing Cruz campaign.
I’m certainly not excited about Rubio, but if the Trump/Cruz feud goes on, Rubio is going to win the nomination. He is poised as the outsider in that war. As long as he keeps his nose clean, sticks to the issues and avoids any spitting war with the other candidates, he will get the nomination.
Trump and Cruz are self destructing. Both of them have made critical unforced errors in the last week. They both look petty and vindictive.
A Toomey endorsement is a negative, Cruz doesn’t need It.
I think the “destructing” is more on FR then in real life. I have been watching the news and very little is discussed about it.
We have a LONG way to go before nomination. Trump will probably win New Hampshire. Rubio probably number 2......but the south will be interesting....Trump was in Arkansas today to look at his ground game and he has throughout the South.....he is taking this more serious then some think and when he says he is going to win, I think he will. I think he basically won Iowa. He had 11,000 when he got back and did a speech in NH....not bad. I think Rubio will be slaughtered on Saturday night big time.
When even old Bob Dole (my former Senator Ethanol from KS) calls out Cruz, he must have done pooped in their playpen and stuck pins in their GI Joe's or Janes!
Cruz looked at their phony rules and said, "Screw this! I'm going to do what I said to the folks and to heck with them! They can call me out for being a Boy Scout if they want but I'm lookin out for the taxpayers!"
I would at least have expected him to act like a gentleman. Asking for a new election in Iowa because he was beaten by Cruz? I predicted a Cruz victory several weeks ago because I thought that Trumps support was a mile wide but only an inch deep. It turns out that is the case. He can use his celebrity to bring people out for rallies, but he can't use it to convince people to vote for him.
His actions over the last couple of days show him to be petty and vindictive. Not qualities I want in a president. We already have one of those now.
At this point in time, I would put my money on Rubio. He is above the fray on this and he is getting some very important endorsements. Trump and Cruz are self destructing. Maybe they can turn it around, but they better start by pretending that the other candidate does not exist.
Yeah, Cruz got that all important Glenn Beck endorsement.
Pat Toomey. Looks like the catholic machine kicking in to support Rubio.
