Marco Rubio was the big winner in Monday’s Iowa caucus according to one prediction web site, vaulting into a commanding lead in the Republican race for the White House. ElectionBettingOdds.com, which tracks probabilities based on actual wagers for candidates, shows support for Rubio spiked overnight from around 32% to 54.3%, putting him firmly in the lead of the Republican pack. Support for previous front runner Donald Trump was virtually cut in half, from just over 51% to under 25.6%. Ted Cruz, who actually won in Iowa, nudged up slightly from the 10% range to 13.3%.

Most pundits I listened to predicted a third place finish for Rubio.
It’s like the Gambinos and Columbos on here with Ted and Donald supporters.
Both have flaws and NEITHER is the enemy.
Rubio is!!
Time to make the peace and declare war on the RINO with the media and money backing!!
“Yes ... a “close” second place finish for Jeb.”
Definitely gaining momentum.
[Rubio was in the “gang of eight “ and was Chuck Schumer’s boy for passage of the Amnesty bill that was crushed in the Senate and by real conservatives.]
Plus, RUBIO has one of the worst voting records in Senate history.
> commanding lead
Must be newspeak for “third place.”
Exactly my thought.
By worst, you must include that he doesn’t do what he is paid to do and vote. He holds the all time record for AWOL in the Senate!!! ALL TIME!!
He's no conservative, he's a phony who has been exposed. Very sad that Rush is pushing him now. I think Rush is willing to settle for Rubio and fears that Cruz will fade. I'm not willing to settle for Rubio. He and the establishment must be destroyed, their party taken over in a hostile takeover by the people. If they maneuver Rubio into the nomination, a. he will lose big time and b. we are done, just as Schlafly says. If he were to win, we are done, after his amnesty passed in record time.
It's Trump or Cruz or Annie.
I don’t get it. How does that work the Rubio is on top when he only finished third?
“Both have flaws and NEITHER is the enemy.”
So True!
“Rubio tops field after THIRD place finish.”
It’s like losing the college football championship game and then being ranked first in the nation.
Rubio Now Tops GOPe Field After 3rd Place Iowa Finish
There!
scream it out brother! Amen. He’s a piece of garbage that used his government credit card, whatever the blank that is, for ridiculous reasons
Rubio got most of the illegal alien vote. That is what is happening.
“Except Rubio is no conservative.”
And you think Trump is?
One commentator responded to the Rubio-mania of his being 3rd on FoxNews this morning. The commentator reminded the show host that 3rd place is 3rd place and being 3rd does not put one in the Oval Office.
Meaning: there are still many elections before one is coronated as the nominee.
I like Rubio more then Trump or Cruz.
The GOPe and Fox News will now be pushing Rubio night and day. Trump need to forget about Cruz and go after Rubio fast and hard.
