I’m still predicting a Rubio surprise 2nd by a hair.

The GOPe wants a fresh face with some momentum going into NH.

Same guess as mine - Rubio is such a nice looking boy and so easy to listen to is what I hear from the older than me crowd.

I'm trying to think like a recently disillusioned Cruz supporter. It takes awhile to get from questions about Cruz to enthusiasm about Trump. (been there, done that). So now, the caucus is coming up. Eligibility, Beck enthusiastic support, too much stuff about bank connections, H1B visas, attitude toward trade deals, deep pocket donors. I'm wondering if those disillusioned voters, this late in the game, might go with Rubio. He seems to many to be a blend of establishment but open to bold new ideas.

That wouldn't hurt Trump, but it would destroy Cruz.

just speculating, based on polls all along. Rubio never goes away.
