Agree with the article. Unfortunately, it seems to be the moment for wild-eyed, frothing at the mouth types who are willing to give Hillary the Presidency in a temper tantrum just to spite the GOP.

Oh well, we can survive a Hillary Presidency. The GOP should concentrate on holding Congress and looking forward to 2020.

................ so says the liberal.

Trump was created by the betrayal of the republican party to its base. We had Boehner, McConnel, Bush, ect... essentially enacting and supporting liberal policy. So what good are they?

Trump is a reflection of the fact that voters are tired of politicians screwing us, again and again.

We has the chance to stop the perpetual betrayal with Ross Perot, but the nation blew it. Ross, it turned out, was exactly correct. However, Clinton and Bush laughed at him. We should have been laughing at Clinton and Bush.

There's nothing puzzling about this. Trump is an independent running on the Rep ticket and republicans know this quite well. His policies are all over the place and that's public record. If you think being anti illegal alien is racist that's your prerogative. Regardless, he's tapped into a huge part of America that is sick and tired of illegals from all over the world coming here as they please without any consequences and being encouraged to do so by the establishment on both sides. People that want current immigration laws enforced are voting for Trump in masses. Anything else he does or doesn't do is secondary.

You're kidding right? The only reason Reagan didn't win Minnesota is because that was Mondale's home state. To say Rubio is doing quite well, shows you are not in the real world and in the world of wishful thinking.

Looks like after last night, Rubio is not doing very well. Obviously, he is a loser and would hand Hillary the general election. I wonder why the GOP doesn't want to win or do they also win if Hillary is elected?

Rubio Super PAC sock puppets are everywhere on the internet desperately trying to make it appear like he's still a viable candidate.

For the good of the Republican Party he should drop out and let Senator Ted Cruz tangle one-on-one with billionaire Donald Trump.

Yes, and he lost all the other states that Reagan won in 1984 as well.

I saw an interview on TV last night where Rubio was basically blaming Cruz and Kasich for making him split the vote, and he came off as an entitled brat, I was not sure if I liked him or Cruz more, but he lost me last night. It is time for Rubio to shut it down, and let Cruz and Trump battle it out.

It's apparent that the oligarchs who control the Republican Party want their puppet Marco Rubio to win the nomination but that's increasingly becoming a harder argument to make.
Isn't trump an oligarch too?

Apparently he's a maverick who's bucking the establishment agenda. Rubio, on the other hand, is clearly the establishment's puppet.
