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.
CNN started the Ben Carson rumor which ridiculously got blamed on Ted Cruz.
CNN started the Rubio getting out rumor... and Rubio stormed over to CNN to demand a retraction.
And now Ted Cruz is once again being blamed for a CNN rumor?
