There's still a chance that Marco Rubio could secure the Republican nomination as the U.S. presidential candidate for 2016, with John Kasich as his running mate.
My prediction, while seemingly improbable (though certainly no more so than if you had predicted Donald Trump would become the Republican front runner and discuss his manhood at a GOP debate) comes after careful consideration of the Florida senator's operations and ground game in Florida.
Despite a poor showing in Tuesday's primaries and polls indicating Rubio is losing Florida, his knowledge of the Sunshine state and his grassroots support from locals could ultimately bring a surprise victory in his home state. Florida has always been an odd-duck for pollsters, given the diversity of the population, its age and a poor showing yesterday in the primaries income disparity, its opposing ideologies and nuanced community needs.

I still see some reasonable scenarios on how Jeb can still win the nomination if he immediately gets back in the race!
his grassroots support from locals
Oh, you mean that grassroots Tea Party support that swept him to his Senate victory, then completely evaporated the minute he got to Washington, did nothing for Floridians, and jumped right into bed with the GOPe?
Good luck with that. LOL
Is being a Bills fan like being a Cubs fan?
Rubio's about whining....
If Trump, Cruz, and Kasich all keel over dead. But even then the establishment might go with Jeb.
Winner!
so the 2 guys running #3 and #4 that have 20% of the vote combined are going to team up to win it?
I don't think that even that would phase hard-core Trumpsters.
Good luck with your theory pal.
And Cruz just got caught with Neal Bush.
Damn, I read the comments over there at Ted State. Wow.
I used to think the Cruz folks were bad in here....
I feel like I went to DU.
Everyone thinks the Cruz/Rubio ticket will save them.....
“It’s mearly a flesh wound.”
Sort of. Cubs fans have been at it for a much longer period of time.
Indeed!
All the other candidates move to Mexico?
“And Cruz just got caught with Neal Bush.”
Lol. And I read:
“And Cruz just got caught Nealing in the Bushes.”
My bad.
Gasparino wrote a book that PROVED Wall Street was the original financiers of Obama.
I feel more for you as a Bills fan than anyone supporting Mr. Amnesty.
Huh?
Of course Rubio can still win...
Hillary can turn herself in for treason also...
