    Let me rephrase. Your vote counts, but your vote would be much more useful to Rubio in any other state besides Texas. He's running a distant third there.

    I'll give you that.

      Rubio has finally figured out how to attack Trump. Too little too late.

      Also, regarding Ben Carson, apparently it's not book sales he's after, he's trying to keep his political ponzi campaign going.

      Cruz and Rubio need to work something out asap. They need to keep attacking Trump and not each other. Truth is, they might need to both stay in for right now to keep Trump's delegates down until they get to winner take all.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Christie has endorsed Trump. With this, my remaining respect for him has pretty much vanished. Sickening.

            He is a politician and sees the writing on the wall. What did you really expect him to do?

                It's a losing battle, but I try to fight cynicism in viewing this race, and I was hoping he'd do the right thing rather than pander. Naive, I know.

                By the way, I'm hoping Donald declares that this endorsement is HUGE.

                  No reason he has to endorse anyone.

                    Another stunt by Trump. Rubio mauls him in the debate and is mocking him today. So Trump rolls out the Fat Bastard endorsement and wins the news cycle again.

                      I seem to remember a time when Christie was considered a serious presidential contender, one who could bring back moderates into the fold. Am I remembering wrong?

                          Some pundit just hypothesized that Christie is setting himself up to be the Attorney General in a Trump administration. Yuck. That administration will be full of authoritarians. How could this go wrong?

                            But he needs to use Fuccillo to say it.

                              I find myself rooting for the circumstances that would cause Bloomberg to enter the race and then perhaps a figure like Romney, Mitch Daniels, etc to be a fourth candidate so this can go to Congress.

                              I understand why people are mad, but I don't understand why they think Trump is the answer.

                                Because he's a reality show star and celebrity. For lower-educated, trailer-dwelling morons that's as high a standard as there is.
