Bar Crow posted: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. … I, uh, can't find anything in the Constitution that seems to require that the President and Vice President be different people.

Firebert posted: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 polling looks bad in other winner-take-all states like Arizona/NJ/Ohio. - Survive Super Tuesday, maybe win Minnesota and beat Cruz in most of the other states - Win FL, OH, IL, be competitive in the others on 3/15 - Convince the blue/purple WTA states after 3/15 that he has the momentum and is a better choice than Trump I wouldn't really call that credible but it is a path Also Cruz probably has to drop out somewhere in there and hope that the Cruz people left are anti-Trump more than they are anti-establishment

If Rubio somehow makes up his 27-point poll deficit in Florida to win it I agree he will probably be on a good path to win, I just think that scenario involves Trump dying or something.

Rubio's whole thing is that "He's actually the best candidate, except for.." and that "except for" has ended up being pretty much everything about him. His only real bright spots once Trump started rolling were that he's young and can speak without making GBS threads himself, until this month where now he's just young.

Rubio was only in this race as a favor to Jeb to act as a splitter up until Florida, at which point he would drop out once Jeb secured Florida's 99 delegates with 22% of the vote and waited patiently for his position in Jeb's cabinet (or a golden parachute at a think tank/K street firm in the case of Clinton winning) Then Trump showed up and the whole thing came crashing down, he never asked for this

I know Florida will be a big delegate swing that he might be favoured to win, but his polling looks bad in other winner-take-all states like Arizona/NJ/Ohio. I think that all depends on how many delegates he and others have grabbed. If no candidate has a majority of delegates then yes, if he's the Not Trump candidate of the cycle then it's totally possible he gets the nomination once those delegates become unpledged on the second ballot. If Trump winds up sweeping Super Tuesday and the winner-take-all states on March 15 and beyond then yeah, I think that goose is cooked.

I spent way too much time on the RCP delegate calculator. A few things of note. 1. I don't think Trump makes it to the required amount of delegates by the convention, unless Cruz and Carson drop out after Super Tuesday and endorse him. 2. Likewise, Rubio's best shot is Cruz/Kasich/Carson all dropping out, today. 3. Trying to do Cruz's best case scenario by having Trump/Carson/Kasich drop out today resulted in Rubio winning. I don't see Cruz winning anywhere but the Deep South against Rubio.

CubsWoo posted:- Survive Super Tuesday, maybe win Minnesota and beat Cruz in most of the other states Yeah, I just can't see him gaining enough traction finishing 2nd in every contest on 3/1 to pull ahead in 3/15 and beyond. The later blue states that have always been friendly to establishment candidates are heavily favouring Trump. The GOP might be getting close to dead girl/live boy territory with Trump.

1) Jake Tapper sucks as an anchor of a show. 2) Watching his show on CNN, they were talking about Trump, Cruz and Rubio fighting for the top. Those three dominated the entire segment except for 30 seconds talking about Kasich. Ben Carson was not mentioned at all and the only time he has been name dropped was when they stated that he was on the right side of the stage. Friend Ben, you will be missed but your book sales will thank you.

i watched that Rubio interview on Fox News and he still doesn't attack Trump. Between not attacking the front runner, and declining Hannity/CPAC - Rubio is just toast. Just amazing.
