Th real fact is that every one of the Republican Candidates would beat Hillary Clinton. She is the least electable candidate in history.

“Everybody I know, I mean everybody, thinks Marco Rubio is the strongest Republican candidate. “

That there in a nutshell is the problem.

Anyone can see Rubio was DOA from day one.

Everybody I know, I mean everybody, thinks Marco Rubio is the strongest Republican candidate.

Well, then he only knows employees of The Cheap Labor Express.

The citizens who care about the rule of law and the sovereignty of the nation do not want Rubio.

It’ll be interesting to see how the boy Marco weathers the exposure of his mistress.

Why are the GOPES (Government Over the People Eliteist Statists) allowing the enemy dictate political stratgery ?

Because they are locked into the game rules of political correctness and “bi-partisanship”. Laid down by a political party which kicked out God,and the 10 commandments. (Thats why everything that comes from Democrats is a lie. They don’t even believe in sin), .

Even it’s name (Democrat)is a lie. But the GOPES can’t say any of the above, let alone ask why we have government in our faces; Or defund the department ordering our schools to; If, boys feel they are or can be girls, or visa versa and they must be able to shower and dress with eachother .

Let alone reduce the value of American citizenship by giving preference to those who through an open border policy who enter this country illegaly. When that country they are comming from denies Americans any of the same privledges. That includes ownership of land and voting.

If Rubio finishes third in the first couple of states he can stick around a win a few from the "Establishment Lane". He should get his share of asterisk votes. Right now, Trump is good for 30%, that's his to start. I'm not saying Trump has a low ceiling. We don't know what his ceiling is.

Even if Trump starts running away with it, there might be some states where an not-Trump vote could unite for Cruz (south, mountain states, heartland) or Rubio (northeast, west coast).

In the 1976 Dem primaries, Jerry Brown and Frank Church jumped in halfway through, and each won a small string of primaries. Had Brown jumped in earlier he might have been the nominee, and at that time (pre MedFly, Linda Rinstadt) he could have won the whole thing instead of Jimmy Carter.

From Hot Air Analysis of Rubio chances:
By process of elimination, it is Rubio. If you are center-right, he is not your best bet, he is your only bet. He might not get Trump fans to turn out for him but the rest of Romneys 2012 base will and Rubios personally likable enough (and Hillarys unlikable enough) that he might win swing voters this time. Or maybe he will not; maybe he is destined to lose too, but like I say, to the center-right it should not matter. If they think Cruz and Trump are sure losers in the general, and if Christie and Bush are both longshots in the primary, then Rubios the only option. And I assume most big-name Republicans, increasingly terrified by Trumps popularity and Cruzs organizational strength, understand that. If they are holding off on endorsing Rubio now, it is probably because (a) they do not want to have to insult Bush and Christie by backing Rubio until it is absolutely necessary, and (b) for maximum impact on late deciders in New Hampshire, of which there will be many, their endorsements should be rolled out in late January or early February. I will be shocked, for instance, if you do not see Romney and/or McCain announce for Rubio at the scripted moment, in order to nudge him past Jeb and Christie. The risk in waiting, though, is obvious: The longer they hold off, hoping to time their Rubio support for just the right instant, the more time Christie has to pass him in the polls and the more time Jeb has to catch up to Rubio. Imagine if Romney et al. decide they are staying put until February 2nd and then a poll drops in New Hampshire in mid-January showing Christie at 18 percent, Rubio at 15, and Jeb at 14. With the center-right that closely divided, it might be too late by then for a wave of endorsements to move the numbers much. Which means you are looking at either Trump or Cruz winning New Hampshire and the other finishing second and the center-right champion third. Where does that leave the race before South Carolina? If Rubio finishes fourth behind Christie in NH, the beating he will take in the media for underperforming will be vicious. If he hangs in there anyway, the center-right might end up in South Carolina with another divided vote while Cruz or Trump wins the state. If I were a big-name Republican like Mitt, I would endorse Rubio the first week of January, when people start paying attention to politics again, and then hit the trail for him ASAP. There is really no time to waste to beat back Christie and Bush, especially with Rubio himself being knocked lately for not putting in enough face time in the early states.
