Betting and prediction markets say that Marco Rubio is most likely to be the Republican nominee. There. Now how much are you willing to put down on Marco's candicacy? I personally will have to look into some of these markets to see if there is a way to short them.
It’s official: Jeb Bush is no longer the leading contender to become the Republican candidate for president. Instead, prediction markets now rate Marco Rubio as far more likely to get the nod.
One broad measure of the betting markets puts Mr. Rubio’s chances at 34 percent versus Mr. Bush’s at 23 percent.
Traders at Betfair, which is the world’s largest betting exchange, but which doesn’t take bets from Americans, rate Mr. Bush a 20 percentchance to win the nomination, while Mr. Rubio is given a 29 percentchance. Over at PredictIt... traders have moved more decisively, giving Mr. Bush a 24 percent chance, compared with Mr. Rubio’s 40 percent.
The outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson continue to dominate the polls, each well above 20 percent in national polls, while typically neither Mr. Rubio nor Mr. Bush registers double-digit support.
Yet prediction markets see neither Mr. Trump nor Mr. Carson as likely to win the nomination. Mr. Trump is rated around a one-in-six chance to win, with Mr. Carson’s chances at about half that.

Ew.
Trump might pick him for VP.....and take him under his wing.
No way. Don’t even start that rumor.
Or pick him to wash his car.
OK....
The exchange floor gives a great view of the huge wall mural showing the inauguration of Harold Stassen.
He and Jeb are the two GOP candidates I could never vote for. Rubio is as fake as they come, and there are rumored scandals that could derail the GOP ticket. I would take even Romney over Rubio.
Raise your hand if you are going to vote for Marco or know anyone who has expressed an interest in voting for Marco. Personally I don’t know a soul. :-)
American Thinker gone the way of the RATS—subterfuge disguised as news.
Folks underestimate the tenacity of Trump’s supporters.
They can’t believe what they’ve been seeing for months,
and don’t want to.
...Now how much are you willing to put down on Marco’s candicacy?...
Not a proverbial plug nickel for this gang of eight member and “ undocumented immigrant” illegal alien invader supporter. If he wiggles on this, he’s dangerous. That is what PO’s me
RE: American Thinker gone the way of the RATS—subterfuge disguised as news.
Why are you shooting the messenger?
Rubio ended his political career when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens.
Not Cruz?
Rubio/Kasich wins both states...I’d rather Cruz/Gowdy ticket...
I would be more than happy to lay a hundred on Trump, just give me even money.
He certainly is the most like RINO to win, Bush will never be the nominee.
But I feel pretty confident at this point, that Trump will win.
I don’t vote for amnesty, so Cruz is the only viable name you posted.
Imagine if you will a world in which a Trump supporter switched to Rubio. :=)
