Steve Schmidt: Rubio Campaign Has 'Effectively Collapsed'
Newsmax ^ | February 10,2016 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Marco Rubio's presidential campaign in New Hampshire collapsed because voters "made a judgment he's not ready to be president of the United States," Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said Wednesday, and he believes the Florida senator's chances are slim unless he pulls off a miracle.

"A fifth place finish in New Hampshire means effectively he's bleeding out," Schmidt, a political analyst for MSNBC, told the network's "Morning Joe" program. "That campaign is effectively over unless he can pull off a miracle and win the Nevada caucuses. He doesn't have a path in South Carolina.

"But with most of the focus going to front-runner Donald Trump, Milbank said, Rubio never got enough scrutiny, and when he hit the spotlight after his third-place finish in Iowa, "voters found an empty suit. Watching him campaign last week, I wrote: 'Rubio's strong Iowa finish has brought new attention â€" and overcapacity crowds â€" in New Hampshire. But the would-be supporters are greeted by a robot.'"

John Kasich....the only socialist Democrat in the Republican party. Maybe he can run behind Sanders.

'nother one bites the dust.

Reminds me of an old F troop skit.

The chief and sarge are negotiating a staged indian attack.

The chief says, for one dollar, you get one brave ride up, yell woop, then ride away.

For two dollar, two brave ride up, shoot arrow, ride away.

For ten dollar, brave shoot arrow, and one brave bite dust!

“Wish it were true but I’m considering the source.”

Precisely. It’s simply unfathomable to me how this blitheringly incompetent and always-wrong guy pulls whatever money he does; Surely it’s in the low 6 figures.

I mean, Rubio is Rubio, but to think that his campaign is over because of the NH results is puerile. Childish. Inane.

Steve Schmidt? Hmm where have I heard that name before?

Was it in the Wining presidential Campaign of Willard? Or was it the Winning Presidential Campaign of John McCain?

I take what he or the Blonde “Republican Advisor” female NBC trots out to take shots at candidates right up their with the trustworthiness of Karl Rove.

If there’s anyone who knows about a losing campaign, it’s Steve Schmidt.

If Steve Schmidt told me it was raining outside, I would go outdoors and check for myself.

Although the sweet Laura appears to be sane and rational, she is controlled, as much as Rush Limbaugh. They are given their talking points and the LIMIT of what “Truth” they can say....it is a “dog and pony” show to keep us from Revolusion-—a emotional “valve” while the Leftists keep on with their total destruction of all our Freedoms, like a steamroller.

The evil elites control EVERYTHING-—except a very few outlets like Drudge (who is in the process of being eliminated) and those who are marginalized 24/7 and removed from youtube. They own google, they own Facebook, they own youtube, the sodomites own practically everything, even the Supreme Court, and can control ALL your information and attitudes and desires....literally.

Laura wants to be able to make a living like everyone else. I don’t blame her—she is like O’R who wants to stay on top—and like Hannity who dares not say certain Truths...and she loves her children so she has to “walk the walk” just like EVERYONE who has a HIGH POSITION and RESPECT in the NEWS.——otherwise they end up like Brietbart and they KNOW they will-—they are WARNED.
