When will Rubio drop out?

I mean seriously. The guy hasn't won a state yet, and is not projected to win in any state coming up. In his own state of Florida he's polling 3rd. It's not a winnable endeavor for him, so far as I can tell.

    Even if he does he will not endorse Cruz because it would PO his GOP masters.

    I cannot understand why more conservative GOP politicians have not gotten behind Cruz.

    Think Rubio has a chance of beating Cruz.

    Not very likely either will beat TRUMP.. but who knows, tomorrow is another day.

    Rubio has already beaten Cruz that is why Perfect wants him out. Rubio has every major GOP endorsement. Cruz stepped on his junk when he alienated his party.

    Trump is the man guys sorry to tell you but at least you can bet Trunmp will also Trounce Hillary

    Listening to Rush Dimbulb even Rush said he will confront Cruz to drop out, Wacko right wingers are not the majority of this country.

    I support the 2nd but not the wacko right.

    Like Hannity an Rush their support for Cruz makes it a no go for 70% of America 50% being the Dems and the other 30% of Republicans

    Trump is not conservative. Trump does not give a whit about the Constitution.

    If Trump is all the hope we have, then we are in deeper poop than I thought.

    Cruz won Iowa and is projected to win several states on Super Tuesday, and his own state of Texas in particular. I fail to see how he is out of the running.

    Rubio, OTOH, as I noted is not projected to even carry his own state of Florida.

    If one can't see how this is different, then well, perhaps thinking isn't their strong point.

    Of all the GOP candidates, Trump polls the worst when head to head with Clinton or Sanders. He may be the leader but there is serious doubt about his ability to win, should he get the nomination.

    Forgetting who you like or don't Cruz is the least electable candidate

    His nomination will bring every Qay, liberal, Trany, welfare recipient, illegal lover, negro and anti-gunner to the polls and that means a sure Democratic victory.
    I would be fine with Cruz as president i just have enough sense to know there is no way in hell he will be elected in the general

    Dose of reality? How about this: of the presently running GOP candidates, Cruz polls the BEST against Clinton and Sanders. How is THAT for a dose of reality? I mean, why not support the guy with not only the best chance of winning the general election, but the one with the best record on the constitution and guns in particular?

    What poll are we talking about?
    I have never heard of any poll that remotely suggests Cruz has any chance in the general.

    Perhaps you took a poll at a Cruz rally?

    Seriously that is as credible as saying a poll shows Jeb would win the general in a landslide.

    And, I am fine with Cruz so I am not trying to promote anything here but, well, maybe reality

    When it comes to Primary's I vote for the candidate I have the most in common with and that is Cruz.

    I could care less about who is going to win or who is the most electable, in the primary's its the guy or gal who has policies that most align with mine, again that is Ted Cruz.

    I am a registered Republican and a conservative.

    Once the primary's are over and the winner is announced I will vote for my parties pick. That is what I have done since I started voting in 1978.

    I strayed in 1992 and voted for Ross Perot, thus electing Bill Clinton.

    I may do it again if Trump wins[V] I have not decided 100% yet but I have not heard anything out of Trump on Policy. If he wins he will have to come out with his plans and policy.

    From that pole Rubio is the best chance to beat Clinton the way I see it. Rubio +4.7 over Clinton to Cruz +.8 over Clinton. Also to vote there you have to give your email so I wonder how accurate that is.

    If you look at Real Clear Politics, Kasich polls best against Clinton, followed by Rubio, and Cruz, all of whom beat her. Trump is the only one of the four that loses to her.

    My guess is Rubio will be out after March 15 when he fails to win Florida. He is not predicted to win any states, and Cruz is predicted to win 3 or 4 on Super Tuesday. Cruz needs those victories.

    OK I will be patient with you, congressional rules are difficult to understand. You are in error and to understand the tactic of a poison pill you need to understand the gang of 8, (of which Rubio was one dancing with the devil), is designed to kill the bill.

    I am taking an excerpt from an article explaining what Cruz did, and why. It was FAR from what Rubio says and Rubio knows it.

    EXCERPT:::::::::::::
    In painting Cruz as a supporter of legal status for undocumented immigrants, "the Rubio campaign is spinning," said Mark Krikorian, an immigration activist who was working to scuttle the 2013 bill. "My sense is Cruz's amendment was clearly intended as a poison pill for the Democrats. It was a legislative tactic... You often introduce measures you hope will be poison pills if you're trying to kill a piece of legislation. Now, it didn't work in the end but it was a perfectly plausible attempt. I might've voted for it myself it I was in the Senate, to try and kill the bill."

    Stephen Miller, a spokesman for Sessions, noted in an e-mail that "numerous conservatives offered amendments to the progressive Gang of Eight bill that were designed to improve enforcement or combat amnesty." He continued, "That does not mean these Senators supported the bill with those changes. That would be an extremely untenable interpretation."

    It was obvious that Cruz introduced a poison pill with his road to legalization vs. road to citizenship amendment.

    What was disappointing about Cruz is that he did no own up to immediately. Most folks are smart enough to understand the tactic, and most GOP voters would support the tactic from a Senator in the minority party. Cruz, in initially denying that this was his tactic, told the GOP voter that he did not believe they were smart enough to understand this very simple action.

    Apparently, given the support we see for Trump, he was correct.
