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.

Must be newspeak for “third place.”

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!!

Sadly, Rush is pushing Rubio today. Says he's conservative, and between Cruz and Rubio, conservatives got over 50 percent. Except Rubio is no conservative. He toes the line on every establishment position when push comes to shove, even when he says conservative things. And then there's amnesty, the number one thing that would cause extinction of the conservative cause, and America, and Rubio is all in on that.

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.

“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 got most of the illegal alien vote. That is what is happening.

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.

Isn't this the same group that had Trump as a lock for Iowa?

They had Trump as a 2-1 favorite. Which means that one in three times the underdog will win. Hardly a "lock".

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.
