Trump pulled back from hammering Cruz in the last few rallies. In fact, he barely mentioned Marco by name. In the upcoming debates Cruz better go after Rubio and let Trump slide or Rubio will be the solid second.

The media will go after Trump but I think that is in his wheelhouse. If Cruz really has the grit he better rub out Rubio while he has the chance.

Ya know what? The Donald has no trouble being to foul language what Slick Willy was to adultery, If you guys want to get Rubio out of the race, let The Donald do his own dirty work. It seems increasingly obvious that for The Donald, disqualifying opponents more conservative than he is a major strategy. After all, with his track record, he can't stand being compared to anyone actually conservative.

Rubio has the major fault of the Gang of 8 bill. Trump is a donald come lately to practically anything conservative. Some of us are not going to be dazzled by the lion tamer, the elephants, the bearded lady and the dancing bears. We want SUBSTANCE and that is not what the Manhattan zillionaire has to offer.

Cruz is doing quite nicely choosing his own strategy. Ask Iowans. If Rubio becomes a "solid second," that probably means that The Donald will have become a fading third.
