That’s exactly the plan.
This was a big win for the GOPe tonight more than anyone else. #3 for Rubio puts him where he wants to be.
Cruz can’t roll forward with momentum as Trump would have done. So it was stop Trump first. Then Cruz will fade. Rubio will pop up a the lone non-Trump candidate.
It’ll take a lot to stop Rubio at this point.
Cruz supporters don’t seem to see what a threat Rubio is and why.
Yeh we know Cruz probably won’t get the nomination. Before tonight I gave Cruz a 9% chance, Trump a 1% and Rubio a 90%. After tonight Trump is finished and Cruz’s chances go up a little. He just doesn’t know it yet.
I like Rubio a lot more than Trump.
