Erick Erickson Do We Have A Cruz Rubio Deal?
The Resurgent ^ | 3/10/2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 03/10/2016 5:07:20 PM PST by conservativejoy

There are rumors afoot. Rumors, people. Rumors. I'm reminding you this is just a rumor. Did I mention it is just a rumor and an unconfirmed rumor at that.

So I've been saying that Rubio needed to get on out and barnstorm the state of Florida with Cruz to get his voters to go to Cruz. The problem is not Florida, which Rubio is otherwise going to lose, but the other states at play on Tuesday. Like in Maine, Texas, and Idaho, Rubio on the ballot could hold Cruz down where he'd otherwise win the majority or all of the delegates.

But Rubio has not gone and now, as word comes that the Cruz Super PAC is pulling down all its ads in Florida, there is a rumor afoot.

The rumor is that Cruz will stay out of Rubio's way in Florida and might even suggest people support Rubio in Florida. Everywhere else, Rubio will stay out of Cruz's way.

On Wednesday, Rubio will join Ted Cruz as a unity ticket.

That's the rumor - the unconfirmed rumor, but the rumor that has people buzzing nonetheless. Did I mention it is a rumor?

If it works, God bless them. The Rubio people can have some closure in Florida, the party can unite, and we can stop Trump and beat Hillary. I'm down with that.

The interaction of the candidates in the debate tonight should be telling.

That’s how little people make you think they’re important. You know, he’s an insider. He hears junk.

There may be some informal cooperation or collusion behind the scenes.

If they make it formal and public, they just paint a big target on themselves and invite rejection by anti-Establishment voters.

Is this the problem for the “Religious” Conservatives like Erickson. Their hateful behavior this year is totally is contrary to Christs teaching. Erickson simply remind everyone of the creepy bombastic holy roller who was so sanctimoniously annoying at Church every Sunday when they were a kid.

First it was ¿Jeb? 's "Make America Mexico Again" .

Now it's Cruzio's "Make America Cuba Again".

We don't want either Cruz OR Rubio, so why would we want them both?

Just watching a Trump interview. Mostly a good one, but I had to laugh when he said he was against gay marriage, even though that is contrary to New York values. These guys are on TV way too much.

Erick needs medication,.... quickly. Maybe Beck would share his with Erick, since he has been skipping it lately.

No way does a Cruz/Rubio ticket get my vote.

They'll be worse than Hillary.

Eric Erickson - just another member of the Megyn Kelly Club for Losers that includes Stiewalt, Lowry and Luntz.

Rush gets a guest membership in the Club for letting EE host his show after the Trump dustup...

Hilarious. Anti-Trumpers stand for nothing. Strategically vote for the other guy because he’s NOT Trump? LOL. The GOP has become an intellectually and morally bankrupt party. RIP GOP.

Sorry. Must disagree.

Had Dr. Carson endorsed Ted Cruz, I do not think prominent Trump supporters would have been spiteful about it, nor would they have implied that Carson was on the take.

You seem like a decent guy, and you are doing yourself a disservice by taking Erickson's side on his smear of Ben Carson.

Sorry to put you right, but most NYers in upstate are against gay “marriage”. In the city, most anything goes, but in the state - not so much.

If Cruz teams with rubios he’ll lose more votes then the GOPe can swing his way. It would be suicide for him to team with rubio or really anyone other runner except Carson.

Erickson has been unbelievably vile toward Dr. Carson tonight on twitter. These chattering careerists really are disgusting.
