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.

Spreading an unsubstantiated rumor. How quaint.

That will work just fine, go ahead! The two illegals against born and breed in America.

Erickson’s tiny hate boner for Donald Trump has lasted for well over four hours.

He should have seen a doctor months ago.

Too late.

Won’t work. Assumes cruz/rubio people will all be down with that.

(Aside: too bad there isn’t an election in Havana at the same time. Bush could unite the 2 countries. )

Right, Eric “where incompetence meets arrogance” Erickson has any clue at all how to win an election.

That is a fail/fail strategy Eric since it still spits the votes between Rubio and Cruz in the winner take all states

Two potentially ineligible Cubans playing tag team for the presidency
The Yanqui republicans should find this refreshing and intriguing and such a boon to true conservatism
Where do they sign up?
Can’t wait until next week

They sure cozied up on the last debate. Was called a cuban sandwich by CNN I believe.

Jeb no doubt is playing a part in this.

Mommy will take her hate of Trump to her grave.

His hateful tweet (spelling Ben Carson's name with a "cent sign" for the C and a "dollar sign" for the S) following Dr. Carson's leaked endorsement for Trump tell me all I need to know about this Erickson douchebag.

He can shut up now. No one is listening.

If true, Bubio would be worse for Cruz than Becker.

His “new” idea is basically an attempt to copy Beck’s media set up

Funny how two “potentially ineligible Cubans” (although I thought the talking point on Cruz was that he was Canadian) is still better than one New Yorker.
