Rubio rejoices: 'We fought Trump to a draw!' - CNN suggests senator 'in denial ...
WND ^ | March 2, 2016

Sen. Marco Rubio Tuesday night rejoiced in the Super Tuesday results, saying “his [Trump] numbers are coming down and our numbers are going up!”

He was declared the winner in Minnesota with slightly more than one third of the votes and Ted Cruz and Donald Trump at his heels.

But he was third in most of the rest of the states.

“We never said Super Tuesday was our night,” he said, “Now the map begins to look really good for our campaign.”

Tapper, however, didn't see it.

"Senator, you keep saying that," he said, of Rubio's messaging that Trump was falling while he was rising, "and he keeps winning states. You're talking about Virginia and that's another state Donald Trump won. And I'm just wondering if there's a certain amount of denial that you're in this race."

But, but Rubio is a great conservative! ACU and Heritage both give him a 96% rating. Even Cruz touts his 100% rating as his great credentials for office. ACU and Heritage only cherry pick votes. The ACU is COC controlled and any votes for HB-1 visa extension, free trade, destruction of a,erican jobs, legislation to allow banks and big business to get stronger are positives. Meanwhile they do not count votes like the Corker amendment and the Iran Nuclear deal.

According to ACU and hEritage there is almost no difference in Rubio and Cruz. In reality they are both owned by the GOPe.

I had an open mind on Rubio at first. But now,......he’s just as bad as Bush.

At least I don’t see the MSM celebrating his win in Minnesota. I half expected that.

I wonder if Rush is going to have another secret meeting with the heads of the conglomerate against Trump and tell them I’ve done what I could to derail him and now my livelihood and brand is being threatened.

What's he supposed to say? - 'I got my ass handed to me on a platter'?

He's just playing the part of a politician running for office. Put on the game face (no matter what the data says) and try to keep the troops pumped up.

Of course a saner approach might be to drop out, but that's not the way the game is played.

Well, Rubio certainly picked up more delegates in Texas than I thought he would.

“Rubic Draw.”

Almost, but not quite, a Pyrrhic Victory.

Rubio is the face of the globalist GOPe... Even Rush is calling him Reaganesque after Rush got AMNESTY talking points from Schemer and Graham back in 2011. This is a full out cabal on the sovereignty of the US.

D-E-N-I-A-L. Correct

Rubio is one very immature person. And a person who sweats too much.
