What path does Rubio have? He is getting destroyed in FL...spent a lot of resources in SC and NV and did little. He can’t win anywhere. If Cruz fails to win a bunch of states in the SEC, then how can he be viable? Kasich still has time to compete in Ohio, Michigan, California, Illinois etc...places that will be more accepting of his brand of conservatism...
I think Rubio has a path if
A) The GOP-e decides to utterly destroy the party, deny Trump the nomination, and elect their poster boy in a brokered convention.
B) Cruz, Kasich and Carson drop out and their supporters all gravitate to Rubio for some reason. I know Cruz’s people are irrational, but I like to think that even if they won’t vote for Trump, they’d rather sit this one out than vote for Rubio. I might be wrong, though.
Personally, I think it’s going to be another blow-out for Trump in the SEC, and we can finally begin to wrap this thing up, whether the GOP-e likes it or not. Once he’s on a roll, I see him easily picking up enough delegates so that the GOP-e’s plan of knocking him out in a brokered convention doesn’t work. Of course, in that case, I wouldn’t put it past them to work behind his back to make sure Hillary wins. That may sound like conspiracy theory nonsense, but clearly the GOP establishment does NOT want Trump as the candidate.
