Kasich gathering steam here.........

Kasich would be unable to reach the threshold and it's unlikely Cruz will.

He is SOOOO much less harmful than Drumpf would be. I really don't want the American Mussolini, nor should anyone.

I don't like Cruz one bit. But I don't fear that he'd ruin the nation.



Cruz is not sane just based on his crazy Jesus talk
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Romney's speech mostly had no impact/if it did, it was more likely to drive people to vote for Trump.

This was out this morning before we talked. It's concerning to be that far behind even in a garbage poll, but it's a not good poll. The voter list polls have shown the race in the mid-high single digits, which itself is not great, but is a bridge-able gap in the last week. The real speed bump is he's going to need to figure out a way to generate momentum starting tomorrow AM after tonight, which will be bad (at least in the two states that people will build the narrative from before sleep). I am hopeful Jeb can be a grownup and endorse him to eat a news cycle (and that the campaign has been smart enough to save him for that), then he has his opportunity at the Miami debate to get the ball rolling in the right direction. We'll see. It could be going better, but it is not yet over.

I think the stop Trump's biggest issue in Florida is the narrative after tonight is going to confuse the strategic voters in FL who the non-Trump should be. Rubio has the best shot, but if he doesn't pull Haiwai at the very least the narrative will be that he is dead.

Marco Rubio could very well finish dead last in Michigan and Mississippi tonight. Ouch.

The American people are rejecting him big time.

Only the most educated areas are in, Trump is in great shape. If Trump hits 38-40% in Michigan that would be huge for him.

Well, they're voters in the Republican primary. Not sure I'm ready to assign them the proxy for "the American people"
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

What a disaster for Rubio. Going to miss thresholds in Mississippi and Michigan.

I'd be surprised if Rubio doesn't drop out before Florida. I can't see the Republican party giving him the nomination even if he stays in until the convention with the way he's performing. I imagine Kasich would be their choice.

Anecdotally, I'm now living in Naples which is in a very red county (Collier) and I've seen several Trump bumper stickers but have yet to see one sign supporting Rubio. It's like he doesn't exist here.
