what a load of bull####. All the anger and bitterness and race baiting and dog whistles were fine when it was helping the previous wave of Republicans, including Rubio, steamroll congress, shut down the government and basically taking pride in doing zero to work with Obama.
Now? Now that it's hurting them it's all un-american and dangerous.
#### right off Rubio, and all you Tea Party, evangelical shills who planted the seeds for this mess.
Reap the crops of the seeds you sowed. I hope you choke on them.

Looks to me like Rubio just started his 2020 run to be the Republican nominee. That sounded like the kind of reasonable Republican that used to exist pre-2001.
Is that the real Rubio? Does anyone know?
Yeah but today none of the GOP candidates are reasonable, some are just less fanatical. They all believe in pro life and Reaganomics.

Pro-life is a reasonable position. I may disagree with it, but I can see a logical reason why someone would feel that way. Same with Reaganomics. It's wrong by most opinions now, but that's some merit to the discussion. The populist overt racism is not reasonable and the GOP has been flirting with it fast too long. I think we finally see an irreversible schism between the racist dogma and contemporary conservatism. Finally I hope

Maybe reasonable until it's taken to the my way or the highway position that the GOP uses. Such inflexibility leads to more extremisms.

That's my point though. It's not the conservative positions that are the problem, it's the politics. A healthy conservative position gives a ying to the progressive yang. The current political climate denies the existence of either

I think the concensus is that Rubio is effectively toast at a federal or gubernatorial level. No way he runs in 2020 or for governorship if he doesn't pull off a miracle in Florida. This is as close to a home court advantage as you could have had, and he's blown it.
If Kasich holds Ohio he is likely to becomes the sole "establishment" candidate and who people would likely coalesce behind at a contested convention (assuming Cruz doesn't take on that role, given his hatred levels).
Exit poll in Ohio says Bernie only won the white vote 51-49. That's obviously not a very good omen. I would also think we get Rubio's drop out speech tonight, gives him a primetime run to rip on Trump.

Bernie will continue on; but the race is over. Bernie is going to need 70% of remaining delegates based on the thrashing in Florida that's going on.
Probably good he stays in, as every day he challenges Hillary, the every-so-slightly she moves to the left. Which is great for USA
It seems irrelevant for the USA to me. Moving left in her election promises or rhetoric doesn't mean anything about what she'll do if she gets into office.
