Suburban women voted for the magic Cuban, IMO.
The Cheap Labor Express still expects to get the amnesty candidate they paid for.
No surprise. The elites have determined they need to unify behind SOMEBODY, and Rubio is their most viable choice.
I had a strange thought about the left, Democrats know that Hillary & Bernie have no chance with all the baggage of the past 8 years of Obama against the outsider candidates. I think Democrats crossed over to vote for Rubio. They voted for the least harmful Republican to keep the political elite status quo in power. Rubio is that political elite class candidate. Rubio is woefully unprepared to be President and can not stand up against stronger politicians. He rates with Ryan, McConnell, Boehner et al as a Rino. Democrats also know that Conservatives won’t hold their nose this time and vote for Rubio. So there would be a chance for Hillary if the fix is in for her to be the nominee.
Simple- GOPe is convalescing around Rubio.
Trump underperformed. Part of that was Cruz’s ground game exceeding “experts’” opinions and growing the denominator. Part of that was that, in spite of the fanatic loyalty of most Trump voters, he lost some in the end. If you still had affection for Trump, but decided vote for another, the last alternative you’d pick after the past couple weeks would be Cruz. Rubio may have become the destination of some weak Trump voters, honoring Trump’s personal negatives (no Cruz) over his policy negatives (immigration.) They need to be reminded it was being anti-establishment, anti-immigration that made Trump and to vote for those principles against the anointed Bush spawn should their ‘A’ plan falter. It seems Trump does lack a ground game and it is too late to create one. Cruz has been building his since day one.
Won’t happen.
All the money and people pulling for Bush, Christie, Kasich, et al. will now move to Rubio. The USCoC will not be denied its cheap labor.
This isn’t rocket science folks.
Either Trump and Cruz knock off the stupid infantile attacks on each other, or they hand the nomination to Rubio.
Ted Cruz = 8 delegates/ 2472
Marco Rubio = 7
Donald Trump = 7
Ben Carson = 3
Jeb Bush = 1
Rand Paul = 1
Chris Christie = 0
Carly Fiorina = 0
Jim Gilmore = 0
Mike Huckabee = 0
John Kasich = 0
Rick Santorum = 0
The good news: Bush only got 1 delegate. Kasich got zero.
The bad news: The RNC get 3 delegates, that are NOT included in the tally above, and the RNC gets to vote however it wishes at the convention.
The RNC’s favorites (Bush and Kasich) really performed badly. The back-up candidate for the RNC is Rubio. In essence, Rubio will get those 3 RNC delegates.
Rubio wins Iowa with 10 delegates.
If Rubio gets the nomination I’ll be sitting this election out. He would be just as bad as Hilary
OK, Cruz has one more delegate than either Trump or Rubio but that could change as soon as next Tuesday night.
I don't mind Cruz or Trump as nominee but Marco Rubio is way too close.
Rubio’s speech last night was very smooth, but CNN likes him too much.
