Marco Rubio is good at skipping things. Especially when it concerns his job as a senator.

That odd, the South is next. I would of thought he was heading to the SEC states.

GOP handling strategy now. Who knows what they’re thinking. Especially, Marco also skipping CPAC.

Maybe they’re planning on winning the general by losing the primaries.

I’m guessing that Rubio has a bad feeling about Nevada...

He is being treated like a hero here in liberal Minnesota. He was endorsed by RINO Pawlenty and liberal Norm Coleman.
So he is now officially the establishment RINO candidate.

Has Team Cruz tweeted to it supporters that Rubio is dropping out and voters should change their votes to Cruz yet?

Sounds like he’s getting how to win the Presidency campaign advice from Romney, McCain and DOle.

Yes, because that worked so well for other candidates.

Rubio being handled by the GOPe is going to have the unintended consequence for the GOPe of having Trump look conservative next to these dopes. I have always maintained that Trump is running a conservative campaign, but the idiots in the GOPe don’t understand that being endorsed by all the establishment hacks just reinforces all the reasons why Trump is winning. Yes, the GOPe really is that stupid.

It would not shock me if Rubio won a race on Super Tuesday. Minnesota or TN are possibilities. I don’t think there is any question Rubio is trending up and Cruz is flat lining.

I don’t think he has a bad feeling about Nevada, I think he’s pretty certain he is going to come in second, and just doesn’t want to stay up all night and have jet lag tomorrow for nothing.

My guess is, he’s going to start working on a couple of winner-take-all states. The GOPe is running his show now, and I’m sure they have some binder with a Hail Mary for a brokered convention in it, and they’re going to start executing.

Every vote that’s not for Trump is a vote for the GOPe from this point forward.

Maybe he has a party to go to instead.

Well, who is going to show up at his rally to declare victory and speak eloquently about making history after he loses again?
