“Rubio needs to become Cruz’s VP pick, now.”

The best idea yet.

More GOPe rooting against one of the candidates it doesn't like, nor can control. Trump and Cruz.

What about Carson. When is he going to go away? His numbers are lower than those guys. I know he has a book to sell but c’mon!

No...it’s not.

I know the GOPe would love to see this happen...but the fact is, Cruz has a better shot than Rubio...and cruz is also viewed as an outside which most of us want.

In addition, his record standing up to the GOPe and standing for the Constitution is very clear.

No...Cruz should stay in until either Trump out and out wins it, or until the convention where Trump and he can come together to build an anti-GOPe team for the Presidency that is sure to win.

The paid Cruz supporters are jumping ship to get behind Rubio in the fight against Trump, the only real anti-globalist, anti-GOPe candidate.

When Cruz himself endorses Rubio, there will be true believers who follow along merrily.

Sad to witness, but I knew it would happen. After Iowa, it’s been pretty easy to see that Cruz and his media shills have been playing a long con.

GOPe won’t compromise with conservatives, ever.
They could have compromised with Cruz and gotten 40% of what they wanted, and the voters to win.
Now they’ll get what Trump wants to give them, or Hillary.

And what are the odds that the dems wouldn't tie up a Cruz/Rubio ticket in the courts forever?

After their coordinated tag-team attack on Trump and Cruz's comments favoring Rubio over Trump, we should be questioning what their true agenda is.

It is too late.

Rubio or Cruz each could drop out and nothing will change. Donald Trump has all of the momentum.

Cruz and the Glen Beck wing of conservatives have a ceiling of about 25 to 30%

Rubio and the Establishment have about the same size support with a very solid ceiling of 25 to 30%.

The rub is if combined they might be able to take on Trump, but they cannot. If either or both drop out Trump will collect almost 50%.

By Tuesday night this will be over.

Cruz needs to win Texas by 50% to get a big delegate count. But right now no current poll shows him willing Texas by that kind of margin. While Trump will either win Texas and get a large chunk of the pie, or come in 2nd place and still pick up a large chunk of that delegate pie. But Super Tuesday is not all about Texas. Trump is set to sweep the rest by large margins.

Rubio the Establishment Guy.....by the end of Super Tuesday IMHO will have zero wins and Cruz with maybe two(Iowa & Texas if he pulls it off).

Funny thing is, for the big money players financing their campaigns, it doesn't matter whether Cruz or Rubio wins. They'll come out the same either way. It will be like Randolph and Mortimer Duke. The billionaire who backed the guy who gets the nomination will win a dollar from the billionaire who backed the other one.

I’m voting Trump, but I’d rather choose Cruz over Rubio.

A former Bush appointee lauding Rubio as the savior of the Republican party, eh? How Unexpected!

Never mind that his entire screed is filled with half truths, distortions, outright lies, and despicable mischaracterizations of all the Republican candidates.

He got nearly everything in that article exactly backwards.
