The national beauty contest, which the three have lost at this point, will give way to a state-by-state slugfest. Walker is still betting on a strong showing in Iowa to reignite his campaign. Paul is hoping that caucuses, especially in the Western states, can give his campaign a delegate boost. Rubio seems to be placing a firewall in South Carolina and his home state of Florida. At some point he will have to decide whether he wants to be the establishment alternative to Bush or the second-choice of other more conservative candidates. He’s tried to be both, but that strategy isn’t working.
Of course, there is still a real possibility that the voters’ anger with Washington and national Republicans grows rather than abates. In September, Republicans will return to Congress and will likely avoid all confrontation with Obama to pass a spending plan for the government. They are completely out of step with the mood of the country and it is unlikely they would change course even if they were aware of it.
When that happens, the current logic-defying stampede to Trump or Carson or Cruz will only increase. The dissection of the Rubio, Paul and Walker campaigns will no longer be a topic of current politics, but a subject for history.

Walker’s huge flip-flops over the past couple of weeks ended that idea
Paul Screwed up when he entered the unholy alliance with McConnell.
Rubio Screwed up when he backed the gang of eighth shamnesty Cramnasty.
Walked screwed up with his flipping flopping.
Good riddance.
Sorry, Three Amigos. Maybe you’d have better luck in Mexico.

Yup.
yep - they never really had a shot anyways.
But, the GOPe is stuck on incredibly-stupid.
Why does the current stampede to Trump/Cruz defy logic?
If only they licked Trump’s Rump, like Cruz, they would be in the running.......
These candidates are believing george will and not the polls that show Trump is here to stay... so they hang on in hopes he will fall.. they may be waiting a long time..
How is there a current stampede to Cruz when he is now polling below Kasich and Fiorina?
Had high hopes for Walker.
IMO he let the GOPe ‘help’ him and that caused his downfall.
Though whether because the GOPe intentionally sandbagged his campaign or their ‘honest’ advice was bad I would love to find out.
Of course it’s not over by a long shot.
That is because of the boot of pissed off Americans pressing down on the back of their necks.
Man, you are a smart guy for sure.
