There goes "lyin' Ted" again.

Before you know it, he will say that those "Trump Steaks" featured at yesterday's presser were counterfeit ...

This would be stupid on his part. He’s already gone this far. His name will be on the ballot, so he will be embarrassed one way or the other anyway. And certainly if he goes out tomorrow or Friday, it won’t be in enough time to help Cruz.”
**********************************************

Florida is not the only state on the ballot Tuesday. It looks like Florida is going to Trump whether Rubio drops out or not. The goal is to help Cruz win the other states like Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina.
I think he drops out.

So unidentified “money men” speaking what they think Rubio might do.

Let us know when Rubio says he’ll drop out if the polls don’t improve. Otherwise it’s unfounded speculation.

And why would a money man sabatoge their own client by prematurely announcing his withdrawal. That makes no more sense than Romney prematurely announcing that 47% of the population was going to vote against him.

Well, since Trump Steaks has been out of business since 2007, and since the steaks at the press conference apparently came from a local meat wholesaler that supplies the resort, he probably WOULD say that.

I think nobody will quit from now on. Carson set the stage. Suspend campaigning, but not dropping out to retain some control over the delegates. In Carson’s case for Trump, who knows who Rubio would swing to. Perhaps to whom doesn’t treat him like crap?

Stuck on Stupid GOPe didn't figure Rubio's absentee votes have already been mailed in as Florida votes early at a 60% rate

As a Florida Native it getting bigger each Year.

If they wanted to help Ted have a Chance and Marco its kills both.

Early and absentee ballots are already in play. The Rube should have withdrawn after Super Tuesday.

It will be a sad day but as soon as you dump your honor you might as well be dead.

They sucked Marco in like a chunk of raw meat.

Now he doesn't even know why he's supposed to feel guilty.

If Micro Rubio drops out before the vote in Florida he will reinforce his image as a "no show" and in this case a QUITTING COWARD.

Micro Rubio's political career is over!

He’d rather be embarrassed than dead politically.

I hope so. Rubio has done NOTHING for Florida. He backstabbed the Tea Party who backed him and helped elect him.

Well/WSJ can create a very nice poll for him.

Kinda funny, that. Thing is, this news report could be hurtful to Rubio. If voters think he's squishy about staying in, they mail in their ballot for somebody else. If they vote in person, even if he stays until election day, the squish seed is already planted. People, especially older voters don't want to waste a vote.

Rubio being out affects election contests in other states, held the same day. I think FL is written off as Trump’s.

Maybe a leak to let voters know so they can vote for Cruz if they want. You can’t sabotage something that’s already dysfunctional.

Look for Marco to make his decision the day before the Florida primary so he can claim he dropped out which is why he got clobbered.
