Well if this is true this is something. Rubio could sue or something. If it's true, which it probably isn't.

Well all three of these guys basically just gave up and said they'll support Trump. So that should do it.

Glad I missed this.

There's two adults and they're Sanders and Clinton.

Watching the party that's been conning the American people for years now trying to bring down their leading candidate by calling him a con man is a sight to behold.

I went to bar trivia tonight rather than watch the debate, and from what I've read it was the correct choice by a larger margin than Donald Trump's penis size.

If these things mattered Trump would've been dead long ago, but it sounds like Kelly, Wallace, and Baer did a nice job really pressing Trump on shit, so who knows. The scrutiny that he should have been under 6 months ago is coming in one giant wave with the kitchen sink flying. Hopefully voter attitudes aren't so hardened that it's irrelevant now.

Hopefully this weekend has 2+ Trump losses, then Tuesday another 1-2, then next weekend more. Obviously Ohio and Florida have been built up to the be all/end all, but If he keeps not winning these other contests in the build up to 3/15, perhaps he'll stop being treated as an unstoppable juggernaut by cable news and his sycophants in talk radio/online.

He's REALLY bothered by that hand comment. Someone should start saying he also has a small nose.

Can someone explain to me why Rupert Murdoch is throwing shade at Nate Silver on Twitter?

Romney says he won't. And they all have to say that.

Yeah, I don't believe at all that they'd support him.

I only caught a snippet, but Rubio was on NPR this morning. Here are a few highlights:

Supports Trump because between he and Hillary he's the least of two horrible choices.

Threw shade at Kasich by saying he would have won Virginia with a narrower ballot.

Possible shade thrown at the powers-to-be/Romney by saying he doesn't want a brokered convention because he thinks it might lead to back room dealing and a non-ballot nominee.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

Perhaps, but when? If all three had declared as you want them to declare last night, you would have actually witnessed the splitting of the Republican Party on stage like a play.

Gotta love Marco's keen grasp of the obvious.

Phrased horribly, but I meant they all have to say they'd support the nominee as long as they're seeking the nomination. If Trump is likely to be nominated, Rubio can take the first opportunity post dropping out when Trump says something awful to say he's changed his mind.
