FULL TITLE: Marco Rubio Campaign in Disarray as Questions Forcibly Surface About His Viability as Presidential Candidate
-----
The presidential campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is in disarray as the first-term Florida Senators window of opportunity for the White House seems to be slamming shut.
Questions about his supposed viability as a presidential candidate forcefully surface, even inside his own inner circle, amid horrendous performances by the establishment-backed candidate.
CNNs Jamie Gangel and Tal Kolpan reported late Monday:
A battle is being waged within Florida Sen. Marco Rubios campaign about whether he should even remain in the Republican presidential race ahead of his home state primary on March 15, sources say. Rubio himself is bullish on his odds of winning the critical primary, despite some advisers who are less hopeful and believe a loss there would damage him politically in both the short- and long-term. Publicly, the campaign is maintaining they are still a contender in this race, touting a Sunday win in Puerto Ricos primary that delivered Rubio 23 delegates. But privately, the campaign is having a debate about whether he should remain in the mix even for his home state of Floridas primary.
Gangel and Kolpan quoted a source familiar with such discussions inside the Rubio campaignspecifically that he should drop out before Florida to protect his dwindling political futureas saying that Rubio doesnt want to get killed in his home state. That source told CNN that in Florida a poor showing would be a risk and hurt his political future.

Factually untrue.
The origin was Rubio and the Fox News Moderators. Trump was forced to respond to their attacks.
Glad you have an emotional attachment to your candiate, don’t let that cloud your judgement about who starting the whole debacle.
Agree - keep your eyes on the prize.
The prize of a Cruz nomination would be - having his name removed from the ballots in the General election by the RATS because he is constitutionally ineligible to be the POTUS! Then Bush will be in and will lose to hillary.
Same goes for Rubio.
On the positive side, his head on a pike should dissuade future RINOs from going down that path.
*cough*
What did he compare Ben Carson to?
What word did he repeat with regards to Cruz?
Who started the Cruz cheated meme?
Who started calling people ‘liars’?
I don’t have enough time to post all of it. Trump lives in the mud and thrives. It’s his only hope to win in Nov. if he get the nomination. Embrace it.
His campaign against Hillary would be a complete mud fest. (Very easy, and it would be nice to see some of the mud stick to that witch) It’s all he has besides great slogans.
If you REALLY think Romney REALLY likes Cruz...then you have no clue as to why Romney said what he said. He said all of that to get people to vote for ANYONE but Trump...so that NO ONE would have enough delegates at the convention.
If that happens...do you REALLY think the GOPE is going to get up there for the second vote and say...OK all you Rubio delegates...all you Kasich delegates...we need to you vote for Cruz so we can have a nominee?
LOL...now THAT is funny. Of course NOT! Once Trump is dispensed with at the convention...Cruz will be NEXT! BANK ON IT!
Marco has been doing his impression of Trump and what he believes appeals to Trump supporters to try to get them to switch to him.
So he tried to act tough and sling insults, but Trump’s appeal as a candidate hasn’t been for his style, but some stands he’s taken and not backed down from in the face of opposition.
Lots of people go to Ivy League schools, that in and of itself does not make one an establishment insider, (but you are off to a good start). Just one link in the chain of proof that Ted Cruz is an establishment globalist. He is not liked personally by the uniparty but he is a card carrying member of the uniparty.
That is why Cruz is so strong. He stands up to the establishment. That is why NOBODY in the senate has endorsed him. Cruz will restore our Republic.

Did Shaq and Kobe like each other? No. Did they play for the same team? Yes.
Does Romney like Cruz. Probably not. Do they play for the same team? Are they parroting the same sleazy attacks on Trump? Yes and Yes.
“If Cruz was establishment...he would be loved by the establishment. “
Because they aren’t nearly smart enough to claim to “hate” him
Oh please Mr Fox, don’t throw me in the brier patch...
If no one gets the magic number of delegates, but trump has the most, then they go into overtime with the votes, who are the delegates representing if they change their votes?
Now I'm glad he's not running again. He's done. He didn't get his Gang of 8 amnesty, and he held the seat for a few years. Choose carefully this time, Florida.
Can you imagine if instead of being an amnesty pimp and playing nice with McConnell, he had been principled, like Cruz? He could have been Cruz but not a stiff like Cruz, and would have had a real shot this go-round. Dumb Marco, thought his fortunes lay with the establishment.
Ooops, Rumors of TPA Teddy pulling an Iowa again. This time on Rubio.

Funny. You know I can see him on dancing with the stars, but then again I never watched it so I may be completely wrong.
“Keep your eye on the prize!”
Absolutely correct. A Hillary Clinton presidency would be disastrous.
Hi MarMema!
Your tagline says it all.

Ted Cruz reporting?
Well, must be tough . . . unemployed with a wife and four kids come January 1st.
But alas K Street will welcome him with open arms and a big fat salary.
Guess his ego . . . is the only thing stopping him from suspending at this point.
The fact is, thats the kind of mindset or thinking we need to beat China on trade. Theyre killing us.
Trade is not a game to be won or lost.
