Joementum posted:Fun tidbit: RNC Rule 40 states that in order to be placed in nomination on the first ballot, a candidate must win a majority of delegates in at least eight states. So, the rules mean nothing, right? The Committee could institute a rule that says "No Trumps Allowed" if they wanted?

Lay out a winning scenario for Rubio that doesn't sound totally insane. Even the people who think he might win say that the field needs to quickly winnow down to just Rubio and Trump soon for it to happen, does that sound at all likely to you?

Is there even a remote possibility of the GOP rallying around Kasich if Marcio Rubio were to implode? Surely they would prefer to him to Cruz or Trump.

The exit polls all indicate an incredibly strong preference across the republican electorate for someone outside of politics. 92% are (para) 'angry as gently caress at the party'.

icantfindaname posted:the guy is the literal epitome of political privilege. people said that about jeb! but no, it's rubio. he's been raised from birth to be the heir to Reagan's throne, and now that he has to fight for it he has no idea what to do. he expected to get the nomination on a silver platter, maybe be jeb's VP this time and then the real nominee next time, but in the grand scheme of things he think's he's the Crown Prince. Rubio is like Jeb except instead of being the early presumptive nominee he's the late presumptive nominee, instead of marrying a Hispanic he is one, and instead of being figuratively low-energy he's literally low-energy.

No idea what he's doing though.

I have a lot more faith that Joe would cheerfully admit he was wrong, than I do in the rest of you rabble, were the opposite to be true. The only thing he's ever done in this thread and elsewhere is recapitulate the Way It's Always Happened. To the extent that is no longer an accurate barometer, how could anyone be faulted for that? Said another way: what reason did anyone in August 2015 have to think Trump would be the frontrunner going into Super Tuesday?

Yeah I'm not buying the "Rubio is collapsing" thing after those Oklahoma and Texas polls released today. Those are supposed to be Cruz and Trump country. I really would like to see Trump and Cruz carpet bomb Rubio tomorrow night.

Trump has to have his name on everything. Do you really think he'd let someone else's name on his presidential run? It's going to be Trump/Trump. Either one of his kids or himself as his own running mate, possibly with a false mustache and claiming to be Ronald Trump.

A second-ballot victory for Rubio or even Cruz at the RNC in July is a totally plausible scenario. A first-ballot victory for Trump is also totally plausible. I happen to the think the former is more likely to occur, that's all  Montasque posted:In the last two days Rubio has cancelled or declined three events: His Nevada watch party, CPAC, and now Hannity's town hall. It's bizarre stuff. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe for a second that Rubio is a good campaigner (he's not). I just thought it was funny that him declining the town hall event was a cataclysmic event for some people here.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:He can definitely win. My bearishness on his nomination prospects came from my belief that the GOP establishment would stop him because 1) he is likely to be a GE disaster and 2) even if he were to win, his policies are diametrically opposed to what the Club for Growth/PNAC want. I never doubted the passion and numbers of his supporters. I'm making no claims about the General, but surely for the GoP nomination, you have to accept that the establishment isn't calling the shots.

To be honest, I'm going to enjoy Rubio's downfall more than Cruz's. Cruz is a massive piece of poo poo and deserves the entire world's hate, but there is something about Rubio's sloth that bothers me more than Cruz being, to steal Boosted's characterization, the Dark Side's very own Roy Orbison.

There's no reliable polling out of most of the March states. Rubio is close in TX and OK in recent polls. He could easily be ahead in some of these states. A few wins would put him in really good position in some of the WTA states he's supposed to be favored in.

Does Rubio have a credible path to the nomination without doing really well on Super Tuesday? I know Florida will be a big delegate swing that he might be favoured to win, but his chances look bad in other winner-take-all states like Arizona/NJ/Ohio.
