"Trump in a tweet just called Rubio ineligible"

While I agree, Rubio has a much stronger case then Cruz. Rubio at least was born here to immigrate parents seeking US citizenship.

I’m expecting a Trump/Kasich ticket, and I don’t support either of them.

But I will in November, if need be.

I’m not sure who gets the advantage of a low turnout. I hope it picks up later. 62 degrees but mostly cloudy here.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for relating your experience with it.

[Balding_Eagle]

Trump will run Rubio out of the race within a couple of weeks.

Seriously.

[Theodore R.]

Wait until March 1; the candidates remaining may not be those of Feb. 20.

You don't know the number of states: 57 - 3 means she has 54 to go...

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

According to a voter in South Carolina in one particular area, claims the local people doing the exit polls— after they polled him— claim so far Trump is doubling Rubio, and that Cruz is in distant third.

Keep in mind that individual precincts could be very different from one another.

Praying to God the end is in sight.

[GilGil]

Your position on voting is actually quite conservative.

[bert]

Since Rush is not on the Cruz ship, he will not be among those going down

People here just can’t grasp the concept of observing and issuing a finding that is not biased

[Charles Henrickson]

Until one candidate starts getting majorities, not just pluralities in the 20s or 30s, the race will be up for grabs among Cruz, Rubio, and Trump. When Kasich, Bush, and Carson drop out, we will see where their votes go.

This race is really about Trump vs. the non-Trumps, and it remains to be seen where the two-thirds of Republicans who do not want Trump, where they will go--if and where they will coalesce around one of the two leading non-Trumps, Cruz or Rubio.

1,237 delegates are needed for nomination. At this point Trump has 17, and the non-Trumps have 33.

[GilGil]

I hear that Kenya has been added to one of the 57. That is why Obama’s eligibility was never an issue.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. Glad to hear it.

Nikki endorsing Rubio will be the big story out of SC.

It completely sucked the air out of the race for 2nd, and put Rubio in the game for Florida, which will be his “firewall” attempt.

I see him getting the current Fl. Gov endorsement as well.

[Zenjitsuman]

Trump will run Rubio out of the race within a couple of weeks.

Yes and this Breitbart article will do it

Cabana Boy lies almost as much as Milhous Cruz

Agador Spartacus.

Had to look it up, but...ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

His greasy, too-effusive smile still reminds me of a bellhop waiting for a tip.

Tx! Baby!

[grey_whiskers]

We have early voting in Maryland and we actually put a republican in as governor last year!

An oldie but goodie, but --

"Re-elect Ellen Sauerbray!"
