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

Posted on 03/02/2016 8:28:05 AM PST by maggief

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.”

(snip)

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."

A draw?

Rubio and the GOPe are in total denial ... We are rejecting them. We’re rejecting their lies, their well crafted words, and their focus tested bullsh*t.

They’ve played us for fools long enough.

The only wind at Rubio’s back is the stale smoke of GOPe liars...

I heard today that it is not too late to run for senate again. He should get that paperwork filed ASAP.

Seriously, I think he should run again if he wants to stay in politics.

It certainly ain't going to happen in the Presidential race.

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

Yes. People are desperately looking for politicians who speak plainly and don't constantly spin. If Rubio had the guts to say that, I'd bet he'd pick up votes.

The Carolina Panthers (2016 Superbowl co-champions) agree.

We fought Trump to a draw sounds like something out of a Monty Python sword fighting skit.

And so is Rush, thanks to ad buys (I suspect considering Rubio ads are running during his show)

Somebody should tell Rubio that he received the same number of Delegates in MN as Ted Cruz.

He can't win...that's the only reason he's not running.

Rubio needs to relax, hit a few foam parties to recharge.

Rubio is out of touch with reality. Is he on drugs?

Rush has ZERO credibility anymore. He’s shown his willingness to meet with bad actors and hide it from his audience.

If he cared about his audience, he could have the biggest ratings ever by outing those fools. “Folks, you are not going to believe who I had dinner with last night...”

Rubio is betting on a brokered convention. He said as much last night in his “victory” speech. He said He is staying in to deny DJT enough delegates. He also asked Ted Cruz to drop out.

“What is he supposed to say.”

I can think of a lot of things to say if you are an honest person.

How about: “We have a lot of work to do, no doubt, and let me get back to getting it done.”

How about: “Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a good night tonight. We have a lot of work to do if we are going to match their performance.”

The truth will set you free!
