Marco Rubio is adding another name to his growing list of Senate endorsements with the backing of Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander.

Alexander said Rubio would be a "strong and effective president" and touted the Florida senator as "the conservative candidate who can inspire us, win the election and lead our country."

"The stakes are high. If our nominee does not win, Hillary Clinton's justices will control the Supreme Court for 30 years and we'll be stuck with Obamacare forever," Alexander said.

Alexander said he had "watched Marco up close" in the Senate and touted his work on a handful of legislative issues.

"I have seen him take the lead in passing new laws to impose tough new sanctions on Hezbollah terrorists, and to get rid of incompetent managers who weren't doing their jobs to help veterans. He has proposed good new ideas for giving students more options for college," he said....

The math says Trump will have the delegates required for this nomination.

We will know more Wednesday morning.
If he gets more then 30 pct of the proportional delegates Tuesday night, and holds his leads in WTA states where he currently leads he can eclipse the threshold before the convention.

Early? Yes.
But right now all signs point to Trump.

Very much employed (paralegal). Yep And paying attention. I have come to realize over the years that the GOPe doesnt want an outsider.

Yes, all signs point to Trump. I am still hoping for the Trump/Cruz ticket. How can we deny a conservative and an entrepreneur in the WH?

Will Alexander appear at Rubio rallies wearing his flannel shirt?

He really had to stretch to find any Rubio accomplishments.

Lamar was watching him from afar, like a Stalker.

“Ted Cruz is needing more endorsements, like now.”

Ted Cruz is needing to get out of the race, like now. He is a disgrace.

Alexander turned into a deluxe RINOe about 20 years ago. He did have some morals and honor but lost them along the way.
