If Jeb Bush. John Kasich, Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson Dropped out Marco would be in the lead!!! Jeb is gone.. Rubio will probably pick up his support!!!
Fire Island?
Folsom, San Francisco?
Who else do you think Jeb voters are going to back now? Cruz? Trump?
With Bush out, expect him to do better from here on out. I’m assuming his supporters will go Rubio. Whether it’ll be enough to matter anywhere, who knows.
Rubio needs to much better than he did tonight to pull that off.

It’s tough to force a brokered convention.
Rubio is not the one forcing a brokered convention, he thinks he is going to win. But so does cruz and between them they are running nearly 50% and trump is nowhere near the majority. The gop is who wants a brokered convention, they own the party, make the rules and call the shots. They also know trump cannot beat hillary or bernie. To lose to a geriactic socialist or a senior citizen that is a compulsive liar is unconsionable so watch closely what starts coming out of the gop-e.
No. It’s time for ineligible Rubio to follow Jeb!
My point was that Rubio can only win on Fox because they seem to push him.
Yes, but even if you don’t get a majority, you get between 6 and 44 delegates just for winning the primary. For winning a Congressional District, you get at least one, maybe 2 or 3 delegates in most states.
The party apparatus controls about 3 delegates per delegation - in a handful of states, the entire delegation is uncommitted (Pennsylvania is most noteworthy).
Averaging just one delegate per congressional district and 15 at-large/bonus per delegation gets you the nomination.
You don’t understand, the party controls the outcome by the number of contestants in the contest.
Conservative tree house had a rather long article about this last year. Look it up and you will see how dishonest the entire process is this year. Surprised the heck out of me, being the naive fool that thought it was an honest and fair process.
If donnie does not have the 1237 when he goes to the convention he is done for good.
