But Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) appears to be ready to drop a bombshell! With no explaination, Rubio abruptly cancelled rallies in Louisiana and Kentucky.
Now, political insiders are speculating that Rubio is ready to get out of this race and perhaps throw his support behind fellow Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
As a major Kentucky newspaper noted, the Rubio campaign isn’t giving details on why a rally was cancelled: One day after winning only one of 11 GOP Super Tuesday primaries, Marco Rubio has canceled planned appearances in Kentucky and Louisiana. Tyler Glick, a spokesman for Anne Northrup, Rubio’s campaign chairwoman in Kentucky, said the campaign hasn’t provided any more information about the cancellation. And voters in Louisiana will also not be able to see Rubio in person.
After a poor showing in the Super Tuesday primaries, Marco Rubio quietly canceled his plans for a Baton Rouge event scheduled for Friday. Individuals who signed up for tickets to see Rubio received an email Wednesday that the event was canceled. “In order to use Marco’s time as efficiently as possible before Saturday’s contests, Marco will not be making a stop in Louisiana Friday night,” the email read. Rubio originally announced he would visit the capital city on Feb. 29. The event was planned for 5:45 p.m. at North Boulevard Town Square. The cancellation happened so suddenly, the campaign is still registering people to attend the canceled rally.
Rubio, who has only won one state in the Republican primary has been the establishment candidate but has failed to gain traction in these final weeks.

He cancelled all the rallies in all these places to focus on Florida where he is down 20 points. In fact, they added rallies in Florida in the days and times they cancelled in other places. He knows if he loses Florida, it’s over.
Oh yeah, that is why he is so well loved on Capitol Hill.
Oh wait, we've been told the GOPee people really DON'T like him and that is why he is a supposedly bad candidate.
I have seen their not liking him as a plus.
Yup. For reasons of pride, Boobio needs to make a stand in his Alamo.
Like Cruz, he knows if he’s defeated in his own state, he might as well call it quits.
Cruz’s problem is he is too conservative for the Republican Party.
Boobio suffers from being perceived as not conservative enough.
There’s only so much you can do and this isn’t their year to shine.
He does if there is a back room deal and they broker the convention. I wouldn’t put anything past the GOPe. Remember what they tried to do to Ron Paul last time?
He did have a five o’clock shadow.
IF they can stop Trump.
So far nothing has worked.
The GOP establishment knows the baby-faced Cuban is a lightweight and they need a candidate with gravitas for November.
They’re going with Mittens, if not at the convention, then third party.
All of the clients have shown a high level of stamina throughout this campaign. I include both Hilary and Jeb! in that statement. I have to hand it to them, they worked hard for this. People expect something from you every single day. To contemplate ‘taking a break’ makes your team a little bit worried. “What do you mean, take a break?!”
I would be a terrible candidate. I personally need more breaks, more alone time. I would very quickly get tired of smiling 24-7. Of course, I am not ‘to the manner born’. I didn’t grow up like Jeb did, seeing the family business before I could walk and talk.
Dang. That’s funny. :)
I’m totally good with Rubio dropping out.
Maybe they want a fake drop out to see which way the voters jump. If Cruz doesn’t gain big, he could ramp up his campaign again. Or perhaps Mitt will actually enter.
Rubio has been sick as a dog with the flu. That is more likely to explain why he cancelled some events.
I noticed Rubio fist bumping everyone, instead of handshakes, which I thought was odd. A bad cold explains everything. I appreciate his thoughtful gesture to avoid getting everyone sick.
Indeed. He was unable to raise his voice to talk over Trump’s blustering.
Fox reported that he is really, really sick from a flu bug that he just can’t seem to beat.
I do think Rubio is basically an attack lap dog, but...
It’s looking like some hedge fund Wall Street types have their wigs on fire over Trump’s candidacy, but which sectors are happy about the potential change? I don’t think Christie would have just put himself in no-mans-land.
Are all these guys hippy globalists?
but I thought he was going to drive around the country in his pickup truck until he ran out of gas?
Micro Rubio needs to go an take his POS foreign policy advisor with him.

He’s got food poisoning - he ate a bad weenie.
