Rubio: “We’re going to win Florida.”

And I’m going to build a rocket ship in my backyard and fly myself to Mars.

Marco knows no other life than politics. But not very smart politics. The rush to be the leader of the Gang of 8 ruined his chances for any future in his chosen profession. What’s he gonna do but bluster. It’s all about his ego.

That was really considerate of Rubio renting out a place large enough for the kids to have room to run and play. I’ll have to think again, maybe he isn’t so bad after all.

Yeah, like you wouldn’t flinch if a pissed off eagle’s beak and talons were 2 feet away from your face.

There’s no way Cruz would pick Oprah for VP.

I don’t think he will, or SHOULD for that matter, until after Florida his home state. The guy is a total wiener but he should stay in for his own state. I mean, the rumor is he wants to run for some other office in Florida later. But then again, he will probably be selling Reverse Mortgages after all is said and done. In that case, he should stay in for Florida even if it will be embarrassing so he can sell Reverse Mortgages in Florida with the theme “Remember me?”.

STAY WITH IT RUBIO UNTIL AFTER FLORIDA! You might be selling real estate in Miami Beach - and heck, who knows, I may be interested.

Cruz was r-o-a-s-t-e-d over his jumping on a tweet by a single CNN reporter before the very few minutes it took for CNN cable to clarify the story about Carson (and I was watching CNN at the time and know how long it took)

Having been challenged once for questionable tactics, one would think, a prudent person, would hold off on jumping on an unconfirmed report - from the same source - a second time, when one’s reputation is at stake. Especially when ‘the party’ has been suggesting a Cruz/Rubio match. I’m sure Rubio was thinking, “et tu, Brutus?”

Why do I get the feeling all this ‘Rubio is dropping out’ talk is coming from the Teddy camp?

Why do I get the feeling you should change your name to Lowes? Will you ever get your hateful obsession of Cruz’s supporters out of your head??

I’ve never had a lot of ill will towards Rubio, but I hope he loses Florida by 30 points. If he somehow manages to win Florida, the idiot will stay through to the convention.

This latest story did not come from the Cruz campaign and Cruz sent them a formal request to retract it.

Presidential candidate Marco Rubio on Thursday night insisted...

Think they meant Wednesday.

...Cruz ...said the CNN report was both legitimate and widely cited in outlets such as The Drudge Report.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/03/08/rubio-camp-accuses-cruz-dirty-tricks-over-hawaii-dropout-email.html

now let’s look at the CNN story, Mar 7, updated 8:00am, Mar 8:
Alex Conant, Rubio’s communication director, said the report of such an internal debate is “100% false.” “That is fiction,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.” .... “I saw this report suddenly air and I came racing across town to correct it,” he added

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/07/politics/marco-rubio-campaign-weighs-getting-out/index.html

Racing across town. Corrected within the hour, the same day. Now call me crazy, but if I had already goofed on one news story about a competitor, I’d have already put out two or three general communications to my fanclub to triple check everything. And the first second I found out about any such email, I’d be on every network apologizing for the mistake whether it was a volunteer or paid staffer that sent the email.

Plausible deniability works for the President, but it’s not a privilege candidates get to enjoy. And defensiveness implies guilt. It looks very bad.
