Poll: do you think Rubio still has a shot at the nomination?

[deaddogseye]

Imo he can appeal better in the South compared to Jeb or Kasich, and Jeb may be out if he loses in Fla on 3-15 and Kasich may be out unless he finishes in the top three consistently on Super Tues. The establishment will fund one of the three to finish out.

Aint no way Kasich is doing that on Super Tuesday. Fact is he shot his wad and isn't going anywhere

I'd offer him the VP slot to bag Ohio in the general election. He's a nuts and bolts guy and would be a great liaison between Congress and the President.

 

[mdk]

Of course he still has a shot and it is quite likely he will get the nomination.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Christie, with his attack on Rubio, may have given Jeb Bush his last chance.

 

[blackhawk]

There are only 3 candidates that actually have a shot:
Trump
Cruz
Rubio.

Yep, Fatso and Carly folded tent today and Jeb! can't keep spending $30M a state to finish 4th. When the field is 3, Rubio will have the benefit of the most cross-overs.

I'm sorry to see Carly out she was always a long shot even so I liked her it's rather funny Christies attack on Rubio did more damage to him than Rubio.

 

[Rocko]

Not only do I think he has a shot at the nomination, I think the smart money is on him.

This.

If you are pulling for Jeb or Kasich I don't see you moving to either Trump or Cruiz. Rubio is the only way to go from there. The party might very well coalesce around Rubio.

I posted elsewhere that I thought Kasich isn't a good choice for Trump but he might be a decent choice for Rubio.

Depending on the nominee Kasich problem would be having 2 white men on the ticket and if Trump is nominee the conservatives who worry trump isn't one of them would be apoplectic with Kasich who they really don't like at all. Its tricky

One interesting factoid affecting a possible Republican brokered convention is GOP Rule 40, the "anti-Ron Paul supporters rule".

A Brokered GOP Convention in 2016?
---
it states that any candidate for president “shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states” before their name is presented for nomination at the national convention.
---

So, unless a candidate wins 8 states outright, that candidate can't be nominated.

If Trump he wins the nomination, he will be the next POTUS. The Democrats are running a crackpot and criminal- neither have any chance of winning the general election.

General election polling shows both Clinton and Sanders spanking Trump in the general election.

...by an enormous margin.

Not really. The head to head polls are notoriously unreliable until a nominee is selected. Here are the current numbers from RCP

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Clinton
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Sanders

 

[HenryBHough]

I'd rule out Bush as a viable contender.

So I could see anti-Semitic Democrats who just can't bring themselves to back a notorious criminal would see Rubio as their choice. It might not be a Republican win; rather a RINO win.

And even in the Both th RCP polls only one is from Feburary the others are from January and December.

Re-reading the header.....Yes, Rubio DOES still have a shot at "the nomination". Just not the Republican one.

Hey, The Democrat Party is in sore need of a candidate......

 

[mudwhistle]

A lot of Republican voters don't seem to care about that, hence them lining up behind Trump

True, but remember that Trump is only one "tweet" away from total implosion.....then what?

They talked about Reagan the same exact way when I was in college.

Trump gets the same type of mistreatment from the press and the far-left imbeciles.

Republican establishment assholes hated Reagan.

He straightened them out eventually.

Reagan played the political game by, you know, behaving like a mature adult. Trump is an 8th grader trapped in a grown man's body. There's a reason he has the highest unfavorability rating in this race.

Not really. I think the 8th graders are the jackasses that have been cussing him out any chance they get....like Bush and Cruz.

Cruz uses kids to attack Trump in new ad

Hard to believe that people like you continue to underestimate Trump.

Lol hes definitely not if he thinks Trump can't win the WH.

If Trump he wins the nomination, he will be the next POTUS. The Democrats are running a crackpot and criminal- neither have any chance of winning the general election.

Look at the voter turnout for Republicans in New Hampshire- it was record breaking! Then look at the Dems- well below average. Bottom line nobody is excited about hiLIARy and nobody with a brain is excited about crackpot Sanders....

Your party is a train wreck.

Are you kidding me? The record turn out was on both sides. Trump is an 8th grader trapped in a grown man's body. He has the highest unfavorability rating in this race. Both Hillary AND Bernie are currently beating him in a hypothetical match up. Bernie by 10 points.

Sorry, but Democrat turnout was almost as weak as Obama's foreign policy. Here are the numbers:
2016 - Republicans drew 263K voters to the Democrats’ 232K.
In 2008 (the last time the Democrats had a contested primary in New Hampshire), they got 289K to the GOP's 239K - they fell almost 20% short. (19.72%)

Adding to the bad news, New Hampshire is a "Blue State" with a significant advantage in registered Democrats over Republicans.

Lol oh yeah let me tell you the dem party is really coming apart at the seams! Never mind that both Hillary and Bernie are beating any republican besides a tie with Rubio for Hillary. Bernie, a socialist, is beating that Neanderthal Trump by 10 points among general voters. Rubio, for his part, finished 5th in NH.

Face it: the GOP is fucked.

You're just whistling past the graveyard kiddo.....If you think those polls are going to hold, I've got some land for sale. It's a great location!!

 

[MarcATL]

He's likable and articulate and appeals to those less extreme, for some reason. According to the polls, he'd do better against Clinton than a lot of candidates. Why this is, I don't know. I liked his humility and concern for his volunteers in NH, saying his 'loss' was his fault, not theirs. Decent guy.

ROTFL!!!

 

[MarcATL]

Not only do I think he has a shot at the nomination, I think the smart money is on him.

Besides funding, why do you think he has a shot?

He's young, handsome, charismatic, and moderate enough to get crossover support.

The curtain has been pulled and he's been seen as the weak child that he is.

Face it bub, Rubio is TOAST!

And yet you have failed to come up with any objective evidence why I should believe the Democratic Party is about to collapse. I mean how can you just ignore the civil war in the GOP alone? That's the party that is fucked.
