They just called Arkansas for Trump. Vermont is still to close to call but Trump has a slight lead over Kasich.

Agreed. Rubio is only a spoiler, staying in just helps hand the nomination to Trump. Needs to get down to Trump vs Cruz and quit splitting the "non Reality TV" vote.

Makes perfect sense, but I am afraid that Rubio votes would go mostly to Kasich.

he has no shame.

he is finished, but is totally clueless.

he is probably waiting for someone to ask him to get back in and throw this election cycle to hillary, but that is going to be a long wait.

Yeah, I can't forsee that at all. I can see the opposite being true. Cruz supporters drifting to Rubio. Cruz only wins very conservative voters. Rubio does well among conservative, somewhat Conservative, and moderate voters. The conservative voters might head to Cruz, but the somewhat and moderate voters will either go to Trump or Kasich. Cruz did decent last night, but very few of the remaining contests are friendly to him.

If I were advising Rubio, I wouldn't have him drop out now. At this point, Carson and Kasich are the ones that need to leave.

Cruz survived.......but he is toast.......the south was his firewall and he was in trouble when he came 3rd in South Carolina and got ZERO delegates.


Cruz:

South Carolina: Lost
Georgia: Lost
Alabama: Lost
Tennessee: Lost
Arkansas: Lost

Texas: Won
Oklahoma: Won.


2 out of 7 in the South for Cruz is bad.......that's like Trump going 2 out of 7 in the Northeast states where that his stronghold .....if that happens you guys would be saying Trump is in trouble.


Cruz people will spin this but really where does Cruz goes from here?
