The national beauty contest, which the three have lost at this point, will give way to a state-by-state slugfest. Walker is still betting on a strong showing in Iowa to reignite his campaign. Paul is hoping that caucuses, especially in the Western states, can give his campaign a delegate boost. Rubio seems to be placing a firewall in South Carolina and his home state of Florida. At some point he will have to decide whether he wants to be the establishment alternative to Bush or the second-choice of other more conservative candidates. He’s tried to be both, but that strategy isn’t working.
Of course, there is still a real possibility that the voters’ anger with Washington and national Republicans grows rather than abates. In September, Republicans will return to Congress and will likely avoid all confrontation with Obama to pass a spending plan for the government. They are completely out of step with the mood of the country and it is unlikely they would change course even if they were aware of it.
When that happens, the current logic-defying stampede to Trump or Carson or Cruz will only increase. The dissection of the Rubio, Paul and Walker campaigns will no longer be a topic of current politics, but a subject for history.

Rubio is not dead by any means.
He will be performing a Crist and switch to Dems as their nominee following Hillary’s decline.
He is a political animal who only wants more power, and will use any means to do so.
He will be a formidable Democrat opponent as the dems will love the Hispanic role model
ZZ are the national polls
I do not understand the GOP wanting to have its debate at the University of Colorado - Boulder. I expect some hijacking attempt by the radicals at that University.
Hopefully they will all three drop out soon. None of them are ready to be Presdident.
Rubio went ALL-IN when he decided to only run for the Presidency and not for reelection to his Senate seat. Unfortunately (for him) he went all-in holding a two and an eight unsuited. His prospects look dim...he may be hoping that the winning candidate will consider him as a running mate.
The candidates that did not side with the citizens and the rule of law are paying for their waffling.
Why does the current stampede to Trump/Cruz defy logic?
Because we’re supposed to be afraid to stand up for our own country and surrender it without a fight.
Rubberio proved his perfidy with his Gang activities
“he may be hoping that the winning candidate will consider him as a running mate.”
This cannot be Trump’s choice with the 180 difference in amnesty.
The populace is in awe of a demagogue. Nazi Germany here we come.
What a boring speech. He is reading from notes and it isn’t coming from the heart. Trump has been saying some of the same things, but with enthusiasm. Rubio is not ready for prime time.
