2016 GOP Power Index: Trump's distraction helps rivals | Fox News
Yup, it is beginning. It is an orchestrated effort to take Trump off the front page of the political spectrum. FOX is cleverly pointing out that, while Donald is struggling and slipping, several of the other GOP hopefuls are gaining ground. I expect the RNC is smiling with each word that they read.
And meanwhile us liberals told these right wing morons months ago exactly how it was going to go down. They didn't believe it but they will. Then they will throw their full support behind Marco Rubio and forget they ever didn't like him. They won't remember the GOP started planting this seed last month.
Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz emerged as the strongest challengers on Wednesday to insurgent front-runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson, in a fiery debate that may have marked a new phase in the 2016 race.

In a dominating performance, Rubio, the U.S. senator from Florida, swatted away Jeb Bush when the former Florida governor attacked his attendance record in the Senate.
“Just resign and let someone else take the job,” Bush said, in response to a question about an editorial in a Florida newspaper that blasted Rubio for having missed about one-third of his Senate votes this year.
That prompted Rubio to scold Bush for aligning himself with the liberal media. The only reason Bush was making it an issue, Rubio said, was “because we’re running for the same position, and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you.”
In a sign that the unpredictable Republican race might be entering a new phase, Trump and Carson, while not stumbling, were often eclipsed by Rubio and Cruz during the two-hour debate at the University of Colorado campus.
"Rubio won tonight with wit, good humor, great one-liners and substance," said Ari Fleischer, who was press secretary to former President George W. Bush.
