How can you say that it is over.. when the PRIMARY is 3 weeks away ! Most non-political activists like you and I are just NOW starting to look at the candidates and many are still undecided... just because there are folks like you and I who stay engaged in politics year round we are not like the “average joe” who waits until a week before the election to decide who to vote for.. NOW IS THAT TIME... this election is far from over... IMHO

Im saying it is over because he has waited too long to make a splash in this election. Is he polling above 10%? Does he have more than a month to campaign? Is his website even ready yet?

And it is true that non-activists may now be starting to look, but we do not fall in that category. We have both been looking because we are politically involved, and the people who will vote in a primary are definitely politically involved.

If he makes a good start and can run for congress or senator in 12, thats great. But it is too late for 10. He waited too long. When was the last time an election broke for someone with no polling or recognition? There is no historical data for your example.

Also, how can you say in the same paragraph that we are both not political activists, then say we stay engaged year round? And why no punctuation, did you just copy and paste talking points?

It is firmly over.

There are no more debates.

There is nothing else going on. Rubio was written off over a year ago. He worked on meeting and going out and asking for votes.

So with 20 days to go it is magically going to happen with nothing but ego power. oops sorry Dr. Ego.
