So why is Rubio assuming Romney is going to win?

I thought Rubio was great and I’m really sorry to see him say something this stupid.

You're very sensible, but you miss my sense.

Romney doesn't have to win to make Rubio's present position necessary.
There's no point tilting at the windmills of the Republican establishment; if he intends to make a significant contribution, he must first survive.
