The last time I saw Marco Rubio in person, he seemed to be on the verge of inheriting the charred Republican earth. It was Feb. 22, the day before the Nevada caucuses. We were aboard Rubio's campaign plane, flying from Reno, Nev., to Las Vegas. Rubio is 44, but he can sometimes come off like an overgrown and hyperactive boy, jiggling his leg when he is otherwise still. He seemed to be in a sunny mood.
"This was a great day for us," said Rubio, who had not yet resorted to making pee-pee jokes about the Donald. At the time, consensus was building among the pundit geniuses (whose consensuses are, of course, always correct) that Rubio was now the preferred alternative to Donald J. Trump.
As Rubio crisscrossed Nevada with his retinue of local dignitaries -- Nevada's lieutenant governor and a former governor, a congressman and a senator -- it seemed as if every hour brought another endorsement from another vintage piece of the Republican furniture: Orrin Hatch, Bob Dole, a senator from Indiana, the governor of Arkansas. The night before at a rally in North Las Vegas, Rubio strode, chest out, onto a stage crowded with validators -- 17 of them in all. They included a casino's buffet of Nevada pols, someone from a reality TV show called "Pawn Stars" and Donnie Wahlberg: once a New Kid on the Block, now a lapsed golden boy who was going all in for Marky Marco....

I wish he would drop out already!!!
He really never had any momentum, it was all a media myth. After he crashes and burns tomorrow, what he’ll do is anyone’s guess.

End?
He never had any.
We heterosexual males do not care about the size of another man's penis. You lost us there buddy.

“We might have to start eating people if we land in the wrong place,” Rubio conceded, again deploying an obvious metaphor for this particular Donner party of a Republican primary campaign.
Marko, is he still in the race?
Rubio is Jeb, without the integrity.
Jeb openly told us that he sees illegal immigration as “an act of love” rather than a crime that will destroy our country. You know what you get with Jeb.
Rubio lies to get into office, and then does what Jeb would have done. Rubio never had any potential at all to go above the floor set by establishment voters looking for the designated heir.
I wonder if Marco is all the time thinking about “size”.
Foam parties, and all. Hmmmm.
He was done the moment Trump called him “little Marco”. A linguistic kill-shot.
