Only Rick Scott can save Rubio now. And a Jeb endorsement. And Kasich and Cruz dropping out. Then he'll be on track to win his home state.

what's amazing to me is that if both Kasich and Cruz drop out and literally 100% of their supporters go to Rubio he still only wins in that poll by 3 points

She's going to get 75% of the vote in SC Saturday. That's the reason Sanders is going to lose the primary.

I think the strategy there is to keep Trump from reaching the delegate threshold on the first ballot and permit delegates to defect to the establishment pick afterwards.

Good for her. Hillary is a disaster. A big, fat, disgusting disaster. I will be the greatest jobs President God ever created. The blacks will vote for me because they know Obama, really, has done absolutely nothing for them. Maybe even made their lives worse. Believe me.

and?
new taibbi article had a great section about cruz:

quote:

Psychology Today even ran an article by a neurology professor named Dr. Richard Cytowic about the peculiarly off-putting qualities of Cruz's face.

He used a German term, backpfeifengesicht, literally "a face in need of a good punch," to describe Cruz. This may be overstating things a little. Cruz certainly has an odd face – it looks like someone sewed pieces of a waterlogged Reagan mask together at gunpoint – but it's his tone more than anything that gets you. He speaks slowly and loudly and in the most histrionic language possible, as if he's certain you're too stupid to grasp that he is for freedom.

African Americans coming out with 2004 numbers would still need Trump to expand his numbers past Romney's share of the white vote in 2012, or capture significantly higher numbers of minorities than Romney did in 2012.

That's not going to be hard at all though. Tons of white people have been staying home the last couple elections and Trump is exactly like the candidate to bring them out, this is 2008 for the republicans. Bringing out tons of new voters is exactly how he's winning, and once the primary dies down the other republicans are going to hop on board.

There will be a not small, vocal group of Republicans who will endorse Hillary over Trump. The articles are already being written.

Trump (or his campaign at least) is literally insane and a national security risk, and most of the "conservative intellectuals" will reject him outright.

Rubio is a placeholder. His only job, along with Cruz, is to force an open convention. Of course even that might backfire because I expect Trump can easily select fanatical delegates out of his core supporters.
