That is a good point. Cruz is going to have made a tough call. Based on 2nd choice polling Cruz get 2/3rds of the Rubio voters. So does Cruz try to keep Rubio in so he can do the attack dog route on Trump while Cruz simply stands “above the fray” or does he try to get Rubio out and win the nomination out right one on one with Trump.
It would be best for Cruz if Rubio dropped out. To be honest, this “super secret rumors of Rubio quitting before Florida” story seems to me like something Ted’s campaign would pull (namely, Jeff Roe).
And CNN is just stupid enough to fall for it. Notice no other news organizations have these “inside sources” in the Rubio campaign. All coverage of this story originates with CNN.
That's a good one.
