I don’t see him dropping out. He is now the ‘establishment’ candidate. If they broker the convention, Rubio is the one they will back, not Cruz.
He has no chance to win.
I mean in VA his strongest state, his appeal was with upscale moderate voters.
In most states, his support is around 15-16% half of what he got in VA.
Stick a fork in him; he’s done.
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.
It’s Paul Ryan

They MUST have someone other than Trump get to the convention with the most delegates and that’s not going to be Rubio.
I don’t think Rubio’s dropping out soon but Mitt seemed to have failed yesterday (we’ll see early next week). The next step is to get rid of Rubio and Kasich. Cruz is likely to get most of their votes. But Rubio is not getting any of Cruz’s anti-establishment vote so he’s not the one to rally around.
