Marco Rubio's top campaign adviser huddled with roughly 40 bundlers and K Streeters Tuesday morning to prepare them for a difficult primary election night—as well as to brief them on the campaign's plan for what to do next. Terry Sullivan told supporters at campaign headquarters that the Florida Republican could secure just 100 delegates from Super Tuesday states in one of the scenarios he laid out.

Not necessarily. I don’t know how the software works, but at some point the vote is changed from Trump (or Cruz?) to Rubio. Does it happen before or after the screen displaying your vote? Could be either one.

Mine showed me a list of everyone I had selected BEFORE I hit “cast ballot”.

"Rubio *has* made and *is* making a choice right now between Cruz and Trump. If he prefers Trump, he stays in. If he prefers Cruz, he gets out. It won't be Rubio in either case."

I hate to tell you this, but you're exactly right, and taken as a whole, a dream scenario for Trump.

If Rubio wins VA, and Cruz wins TX? Trump makes the convention with about 200 extra delegates to win first ballot...

All that $$ pays for some great PowerPoint briefings to explain away the failure. Just ask Jeb!

Yeah, uh, I’m not even sure they anticipated this much of a beating.
He did get the lobbyists and the establishment in Northern Virginia, though...

The status quo voters in N. Virginia he got.

But he still comes out and gives another ‘victory speech’ for finishing third.

Just hope he and Cruz stay in and split the vote.

Well I guess he won Minnesota. He almost pulled off Virginia which was surprising as he was down big time there a few weeks ago. But I would not call it a great night like Trump had.

I disagree. A Rubio endorsement would cause damage to his campaign. Smart people HATE Rubio.
