“It is Rubio, in this analysis, who has room to expand his reach.”
More nonsense. If Trump or Cruz will have trouble picking up more moderate Republicans, Rubio and Christie will have even worse trouble picking up ANY conservative Republicans. That’s a moot point, of course, because neither Rubio nor Christie have any chance of winning the nomination, so they will never have an opportunity to pick up conservative votes once others drop out.
You are dead on, friend. Lib states are going to vote for lib Republicans. We need to get those states out of the way and get down to choosing out nominee!
