But Marco has no game. Hillary would be moping the floor with him. I am afraid the establishment will have to support our guy. I think they might be OK with Rand getting the nomination at this point. They still think they might orchestrate the general election to make sure Hillary wins. GOP nomination is not important at this point for them.

Quite right. The only thing that might permanently push Rubio's numbers up would be Jeb suspending his campaign, which isn't happening (due tio Bush clan pride) until at least March or April. What is the media gonna do after they pump Rubio up like they did Carly, only to see his numbers drop just like hers did weeks later?

Rubio has a shitload more money and campaign infrastructure than Fiorina. He won't just go away. Rand, Rubio, Cruz, and maybe Carson, Bush are the only ones who can win delegates and run all the way to the RNC.

Rand kicked ass. His responses were spot on and he got (and is still getting) great press on his performance. A strong showing in the Drudge poll, even Huffpo did a positive piece on him....

Well played, sir.

Donated and bump

Sadly, Trump has full delegate seats in Alabama. Havent checked other states, but I can imagine the same.

If they make it to the RNC, they will be voting Cruz or Rand, if Trump is even still on the ballot, he will have a hard time making the threshold for proportional allocation.

I don't understand why people think Trump is going anywhere. He has been #1 in the polls pretty much since he entered the race.

In 2007 and 2011 we saw the rise and fall of many frontrunners, but Trump seems pretty solid.

It's clear now that Trump and Rubio will be Rand's biggest challenges in this race.

Wait until December when he goes full politician, and destroys any reason people had to want to vote for him.

"They hate us because we let women drive." --Marco Rubio

Yeah, it has nothing to do with our hyperinterventionist meddling in their affairs.

From the debate transcript at Time's website, here's the word-for-word quotation of Rubio's attempt to explain why the United States has a "vested interest" in the Middle East:

And we do have a vested interest. And here’s why.

Because all those radical terrorist groups that, by the way, are not just in Syria and in Iraq, ISIS is now in Libya. They are a significant presence in Libya, and in Afghanistan, and a growing presence in Pakistan.

Soon they will be in Turkey. They will try Jordan. They will try Saudi Arabia. They are coming to us. They recruit Americans using social media. And they don’t hate us simply because we support Israel. They hate us because of our values. They hate us because our girls go to school. They hate us because women drive in the United States.

Either they win or we win, and we had better take this risk seriously, it is not going away on its own.

Rubio is the epitome of a demagogue.

Rubio has gone full Peter King

My opinion of Marco? May his flesh sinter in hell.

Everybody look out for scary Russia. PacMan is the good guy.

This is worth repeating:

DEFENSE SPENDING IN MILLIONS

That graphic was apparently from 2008. This is an update from Reason's website:

Here's a link to the full Reason article:

Memo to Rubio: We Already Spend Far More on 'Defense' Than Any Other Country ...

During last night's Republican presidential debate, Rand Paul criticized Marco Rubio's "plan for $1 trillion in new military spending" as "not very conservative." Rubio responded by inaccurately describing Paul as "a committed isolationist" and declaring (twice) that the United States needs to be "the strongest military power in the world." But Rubio did not explain why a bigger Pentagon budget is necessary to accomplish that goal...

In 2014 the United States, a country at peace with its neighbors that has less than 5 percent of the world's population, accounted for more than a third of the world's military spending. Congress could cut the Pentagon's budget in half, and the U.S. would still be "the strongest military power in the world."

I'm convinced that Carson is almost entirely an astroturf operation. Delegates? Not unless they're being paid to be!

A lot of people are assuming Trump will drop out if he isn't #1 to protect his ego.

Totally. Why doesn't someone expose him? Do we still have journalists in this country?
