On the Fox News Channel's Super Tuesday coverage, GOP presidential candidate Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% stated that fellow candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% had a "bad night" on Super Tuesday and wondered, if Cruz "cannot sweep on Super Tuesday...where in this country is he going to win?" While he would win Florida and "other winner take all states." Rubio added that he wouldn't get out even if he didn't win Florida and plans to campaign in all 50 states.
Rubio said, "I think the analysis has to be re-calibrated here. First of all, this is the proportional stage of the campaign. So, no one is taking home all of these delegates. Not even Ted Cruz in Texas, who, by the way, tonight was supposed to be Ted Cruz's big night. You never heard my campaign say that we were going clean house on Super Tuesday. ... He ended up winning his home state, and sharing delegates. And the neighboring state of Oklahoma, and sharing delegates."
He continued, "On the other hand, you look at Virginia, a state where we were down 20 points in the polls...we basically fought Donald Trump to a draw, despite having to share the ballot with a number people that probably took votes away, and we're going to leave there with as many delegates as he has. And we don't just have a significant number of delegates there, but in multiple states....

Oh geesh. If you really think that made a difference you’re admitting Trump supporters are idiots.
Compared to Polls that Trump was touting before the election I’d say it was a YUGE win for Cruz.
Why is it all polls that show trump winning are good and those that don’t are wrong? Even when the “good” polls are later proven to be completely wrong?
Okay, so show me one poll where Cruz is dominating moderates, conservative and non-evangelical voters, instead of just self-described very conservative and evangelical voters. Every poll I've seen have Cruz's numbers dropping dramatically when not within that latter 2 subgroups of Republican voters.
Eh tu, Marco?
How are YOU going to win if you can’t win ONE state in the South. Minnesota? That’s IT?
Marco is toast.
Yes, Trump won self-described Democrat and liberal voters. He also won conservative, very conservative and Evangelival voters in those states. Cruz did his best with "very conservative" voters, but couldn't win a single county, and still couldn't beat Trump's numbers with that same group. Cruz, similarly, lost every county in Alabama to Trump. That's deep south right there.
I’ve lived in SC and TX. Texas is a much better place.
I didn’t say he was. I was saying to your claims about Trumps polling...if you ignore all the polls you don’t like you’re spot on.
well, I doubt it made a yuuuuge difference, true. But margins are margins and delegates are proportional in the Lone Star state, yes? So if machines are acting up, then they need to be replaced and the votes recounted. Maybe next time they’ll arbitrarily flip votes from republicans to demrats. The level of concern for such matters is usually a direct relation to one’s ability to think beyond the horizon.

Youre another clueless schmuck who doesn’t know how business works. Are you an entry level paper pusher, or school janitor?
Rubio didn’t hit 20% so it really didn’t hurt anyone.
Me, not being a Cruz supporter at all, had a lot better night than that little girlie man. And he talks about con artists.
OK so you respond to my post talking about Cruz's numbers with moderates, conservatives, etc., and then... what? You weren't really responding to it? Are you talking about the head to head polls now? So PPP, NBC, and Bloomberg polls all back me up, and you're depending on what... one poll you won't even provide, and you're saying crap like "You pick and choose polls!"
What is wrong with your brain, exactly? How does your post against me work against you too? And how can you justify asserting as fact that Trump would lose to Cruz head to head when, by your own logic, you have no evidence for it?
Your statement avoids the facts, but you bring in Trump.Cruz couldn't even get 50% and didn't win all his home state delegates.
His argument is not rational.
He had a better night than you, Marco.
You have logic problems I see. You are making claims and then telling me to verify them by a negative. It doesn’t work that way.
And then trying to go to personal attacks proves you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I have no idea what it is you are ranting about. You claimed Cruz beats Trump head to head, and then in response to me citing multiple polls you start basically saying that I'm picking and choosing them, not realizing that you're nuking your self as a hypocrite for picking and choosing polls you like.
And then trying to go to personal attacks proves you don’t know what you’re talking about.
This was after you personally attacked all Trump supporters on the forum by declaring them stupid and uninformed. You are a really dumb person who is simply making posts just to make posts. You literally have nothing to offer in anything you write.
Yes, I am sure in all your business acumen you have donated large amounts of graft to democrats, haven’t you Mr. Businessman...
