Polls show it. Elections data indicate it. The political class frets about it. And now his own campaign manager admits it.
Marco Rubio is losing his home state of Floridathe place he has guaranteed hed win on March 15.
Yes, Rubios campaign manager, Terry Sullivan, said when asked if the Florida senator is trailing Donald Trump at home. But it doesnt matter. Were going to win Florida.
These are dark days for the Rubio campaign, and they might be his last. The confidence Sullivan has in a Florida victory does not extend much beyond Rubios staff and his longtime backers.
According to Republican consultants and political observers from Tallahassee to Orlando to Tampa to Miami, theres virtually no evidence that Rubio has the robust campaign in place thats needed to shrinklet alone overcome Trumps lead that ranges from 7 to 20 percentage points, depending on the poll. For weeks, his team hasnt blanketed known early voters with mail and they havent been calling Republicans statewide until just a few days ago.

No Show Rubio did not do himself any favors in last nights debate. I do not see how he can recover.
Rick Scott doesn't endorse in the primaries and won't change this time.
Broward County Florida polls open tomorrow at 9:00 am....Several of us are going as a group. For Trump.
Trump is 20 pts ahead of Amnestio in the FL polls. Its over.
He isnt allowed to run for the Senate, He will be out of a job totally. Local reports have him staying in to position himself to run for Governor in 2 yrs. And that wont happen. He is hated here.
Rubio has alienated and abandoned north Florida.
My concern is the miami machine politicos looking for, and if necessary finding, votes in south Florida.
And you know what Trump wants...how?
Rubio is going to be like an abandoned Disney theme park village.
He won the senate with a plurality and with Tea Party backing. With his antics with the Gang of 8, I don’t think he could win his senate seat there.
Too late Rubio, they have already called the fixer. (Romney) All you can do now is steal a few delegates from Trump. Then you will be home watching the convention on TV.
“The absentee Senator could lose his seat”
If he loses his Senate seat, he’s not qualified to do much. I guess he could become a lobbyist.
He should drop out of the race and actually go to work to do the job he is already being paid to do by the Florida taxpayers for once.
