They realize with Rubio or any establishment, they will have low voter turnout, lower possibly than the Democrats, and it will be business as usual in Washington.
My sentiments exactly. No "love", no "hate", no "emotion" at all.
Pull the string and Rubio talks like the average politician. Many people call him the safe choice.. We don't need safe, we need smart , straight forward, knowledgeable, experience in economy, wall street, and what is wrong , what is corrupt, what is stupid, which is a lot and fix it .
I like this sentence from the NR, because it nicely encapsulates the three leading candidates and their appeal - "Going forward, Rubio will most likely have the most success with establishment and conservative voters, while Cruz will battle with Rubio for conservative support and with Trump for populists."
Doesn't Rubio have the best chance of beating Hillary? He pulls in more independents.
It's sad and pathetic, but that's becoming my first priority now, as I'm so scared
for our country with another Dem in charge.
Also, Rubio seems less committed to getting us involved with a ME war.
I am concerned with his lack of experience and accomplishments, but that could be helped if he picks a good VP and cabinet.
I still haven't picked, but am swaying toward Rubio now.
Exactly! And like Erick Erickson put so well - "Democrats may fear Rubio as a candidate, but the base of the Democratic Party does not fear him like Ted Cruz. They think they could wait out Marco Rubio, even after eight years in power, and see few of their advances surrendered."
That is why Rubio is the Establishment pick. They don't want to change anything.
Rubio has more appeals from the public. The Rubio haters are probably Bush supporters.
I doubt that. Karl Rove is a Bushie and he hates Ted Cruz. You will see him continue to ignore that Ben Carson caused the national headline on his downsized campaign, using Ted Cruz as the cause.
Exactly! And like Erick Erickson put so well - [b]"Democrats may fear Rubio as a candidate, but the base of the Democratic Party does not fear him like Ted Cruz. surrendered."
Speaking as a long time entrenched member of the Democratic base, Cruz is my dream GOP candidate.
Rubio not so much, he worries me.
