Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio on Thursday vaulted into second place in a daily tracking poll, but still trails front-runner Donald Trump by double-digits in the New Hampshire primary

Trump leads the GOP field with 36 percent support, according to the WHDH/UMass Lowell poll, followed by the Florida senator with 15 percent support, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) with 14 percent support, former Florida governor Jeb Bush with 8 percent support and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 7 percent support.

Maybe this will coalesce the Cruz and Trump supporters into one camp against the RINOs. Trump will make Cruz his Vice President, and it will come down to Americans against the RINOs.

You don’t know NH then. It also has large segment of blue collar workers, both Republican, Independent and Democrat.

Trump appeals to the blue collar workers in this state, due to his stance on dealing with China and Fair Trade vs. “free trade”.

Yesterday there was a poll with Jeb in 2nd place. Today it is Rubio. Seems like with each poll someone else is in 2nd place. Meanwhile Donald remains in the thirties.

Rubio, Bush, CRuz -> same diff :(

Appears Trump's crash and defeat is STILL premature.

That is funny. The pundits have been predicting a Trump crash since the day he announced. Now we have the Cruzbots predicting the same thing. Somehow like the Eveready Bunny he keeps going and going...

Once again, it looks like Trump’s so-called childishness, this time about what Cruz did to possibly steal votes in Iowa, actually has substance and gravitas.

I recall cries that Obama stole the re-election and how conservatives wished Romney fought for verification. Here comes Trump and some conservatives forget that this is the kind of fighter we lamented we did not have against Obama.

They have their rivers confused.

“Surge” = 21-point deficit? What is this crap?

[WENDLE]

“crap “ is right. This is all Karl Rove spin. It is absurd. I do believe Cruz is gone if they don’t work this out..
Here is what I propose before we totally disintegrate. Trump/Cruz/ Carson need to have a closed door meeting and get this Iowa fiasco behind us. Let them work it out. Then they emerge with a unified call to bury this Rino amnesty loving COPe joke— Rinio.

The Cruz nasty election ethics and morals corruption directed at Carson and Trump will end this for Cruz. Bet the rent.

[dragnet2]

Just tell the truth you hacks and write: Trump still beating the sh!t out of Cruz and Rubio by 21 points.

Trump and Cruz camps. Keep it up and you’ll get nominee Rubio.

[Theodore R.]

A Rubio-Kasich ticket in our future? We can at least take comfort Jebbie won’t be running.

True dat.

Keep it up and you'll get nominee Rubio.

True dat.

[Sam Gamgee]

I hope so. I’d take Trump if it meant stopping Rubio even if it means Cruz bows out.

[Theodore R.]

Rubio will drop once Cruz and Trump expose his recent pro-illegal immigration interview in Spanish.

I don't see the American people being capable of understanding these Rubio interviews.
