But at this point he has no shot. The Republican party's whole shtick this year is anti-establishmentism, and Rubio, whether right or wrong, is known as the establishment candidate. This is why he has no chance, and this is why he has only won one primary and is why we can reasonably expect him to lose in the double digits Tuesday in his own State. I don't know how Cruz will fair in a general election. But I do know I can reservedly vote for him as opposed to not being able to vote at all for Trump. Tories?! Really?! I liked the LibDems until they sold out. . . Anyway, I prefer Rubio to Cruz, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I prefer Rubio to Cruz, personally. I honestly don't know much about them. I tend to have moderate and sometimes liberal views, so the tories (especially high tories) wouldn't like me, if what I know about them is correct. I just say I'm a high tory because it's ridiculously British. I very much prefer Rubio. Unfortunately, our nation is insane, and it looks like we have to choose between a guy who wants to kill terrorists and their families and the guy who wants to carpet bomb the middle east until it glows. Why God. Why must this be my first election. Why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Trump is leading Marco Rubio in the Florida senator's home state by 8 percentage points, a Monmouth University poll out Monday shows. Trump has the support of 38% of Florida's likely GOP primary voters, compared to 30% who back Rubio, 17% for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 10% for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. its not that Rubio is not a better man, he clearly is It's the inevable fact that he's lost this race however it's not over... Tomorrow is a new day!

PhuturePriest Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It will be interesting to see what happens this coming Tuesday. Whether Rubio wins his home State or not remains to be seen. I do not hold much stock in polls, as there have been numerous States where a candidate was supposedly beating everyone else by a wide margin only to end up losing.

According to polls Hillary had a 99% chance of winning Michigan. We all saw how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritasluxmea Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/10/ben-carson-plans-to-endorse-trump/ Carson plans to endorse Trump. Wow, I did not see this coming! I liked Carson as a person although I didn't think he was a good candidate for the job. There goes all respect I had for the guy. I think there's a good chance Trump will win the GOP nomination, although now that we've moved to the northern states it will be interesting to see who starts winning. I hope Rubio gets the nomination, if we want to win the presidency he's our guy especially against Hilary. I respect Cruz's politics but don't get his attraction at all.

PhuturePriest Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 And sadly he has officially suspended his campaign. I really liked his closing speech, however, which remained very positive and upbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I now support Ted Cruz. It has come to this. Alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Cruz' response to Rubio's withdrawal was classy. One of all too few positive signs in the Republican party right now. “Marco Rubio is a friend and a colleague who ran an optimistic campaign focused on the future of our party, conservative principles, and uplifting the American people. The Republican primary was stronger because of the ideas he brought forth. Marco’s story embodies the promise of our great nation. I know he will continue to be a champion for limitless opportunity in America, and I wish Marco, Jeanette, and their four kids the very best.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you vote for Trump in 2017, you are a year too late and you missed the election. So there is that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
