Good to know. Rubio has collected Toomey, Scott, and now Santorum.

That’s the biggest surprise today since the Sun rose in the East this morning. But, at least Rubio is more conservative than Santorum, so we ought to be thankful about that.

I guessed Rick would endorse Trump, and I was wrong. Rush’s tacit endorsement of Rubio eclipses this anyway.

Yup Rubio was the Establishment setup. They had to wait and wait for an opening. They had Trump set up at the last Fox debate whether he attended or not. Rubio got talked up all weekend prior to Iowa. Cruz helped them by winning IA but that is all he will win. Rubio's 3rd place (thanks Microsoft) gets talked about as the greatest political story ever and the endorsements line up.

It's about immigration and the Cheap Labor Express. That is the #1 priority of the elite. Rubio will do their bidding there and will be touted as the Republican Obama.

Big surprise given the differences on immigration between Santorum and Rubio. Santorum has shown his true colors as a GOPe insider. I guess he will tell his 1% to vote for Rubio.

“Like a beaten spouse, Rick keep crawling back to the establishment hoping for their approval.”

Rubio is less Washington then Cruz who has spent many years more then Rubio. Rubio has a lot of time in the Florida state government and all conservative. He has one hit on him and that is Gang of 8........is that lethal against Hillary? That is the question and only question.

Trump is running as a Rep. Perot ran as an Independent. Electoral politics are weighted towards the two major parties. Very difficult for a third party candidate to win.

They have both changed their positions on immigration. I don’t trust Cruz or Rubio.

The Trumpophiles were running around spreading the lie that he was going to endorse their boy.

lol. Voters are completely in charge. If voters want Rubio, he wins. If not then Trump will win. It has officially became a two man race right this moment.

It is either Trump or Rubio........pick your choice cuz that’s it.

He also endorsed Arlen Spector over Pat Toomey in 2004. Rick is conservative but he’s GOPe all the way.

I don’t think Perot ever was in 1st place. Trump is running as a Republican.
