Say Cruz does get knocked out. Where do his voters go?
Cruz isn't going anywhere before Texas, and I argue that Cruz's voters are on the edge of being just as anti-establishment as Trump's.
It's not about him leaving. It's getting his vote share from 20 to 10. Attacks can do that. I'd be surprised if yesterday didn't seriously damage Cruz.Cruz isn't going anywhere anytime soon, no matter what Rubio does.
Probably not a big deal, but Spike Lee just endorsed Sanders.
Also, it's hilarious that the Republicans are a week away from Trump running away with the whole thing and they still don't even have a strategy against him, much less something they've been implementing.

I assume 6-7% would. It's material in some states.And why exactly are we just to assume those 10% would go to Rubio?
Where? One or two states?He hasn't won yet and u gon look dum if Rubio starts pulling ahead.
A statistic I always find chilling. Congress has like an 11% approval rating.
The rate of encumbents getting re-elected tends to be around 90%.
He hasn't won yet and u gon look dum if Rubio starts pulling ahead.

Not even his home StateIs Rubio ahead in even one state?
Would you guys be ok with Kasich>Trump>Rubio in Ohio, seeing as this probably keeps Kasich in the race for longer?
Not even native son Gov. John Kasich can stop the Donald Trump steamroller as Kasich falls behind the Republican front-runner 31 – 26 percent among Ohio likely Republican primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is at 21 percent with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 13 percent and Dr. Ben Carson at 5 percent.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont 55 – 40 percent among Ohio likely Democratic primary voters, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uhpe-ack) University Poll finds.

RUBIOMENTUM!!!!Is Rubio ahead in even one state?

The conventional wisdom is Rubio but I don't buy it. Trump burned a lot of bridges recently but in the far right circles I keep an eye on everyone was Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump until a month or so ago
Going nuclear on Cruz certainly isn't going to help Rubio win them over
The problem for Cruz, he keeps hitting Rubio on immigration but even in a state with such a conservative voters 53% said they should be able to apply for legal status. And Rubio won them handily.
The one's who want to deport them are in Trump's camp overwhelmingly.
Basically Cruz's campaign is inept at figuring out what to attack his competition on.
Hillary is going to make him look like such a child in debates. If he wins the nomApparently this happened on Bill O'Reilly last night with Marco Rubio:

To think I was once afraid of this chump..
If Ted had one single friend...like literally anyone...someone could come to his defense and say he's a nice guy.
What will happen to Sanders if he runs for GE:
Cruz is trying to move to the right of trump on immigration, it just isn't working -- because everyone knows there is no room to the right of trump on immigration. I don't think that SC voters are what you're after when railing against immigration though -- it's more of a southwest issue

So Fox News has they'll be having a "voter summit" on Wednesday with the candidates, hosted by - who else? - Megyn Kelly.
Trump is skipping it. I wonder what his counter plan is.
And I love how FreeRepublic treats this "feud" between the two of them:

apparently obama is going to announce plans to close gitmo in 90 minutes or so. I'm sure that is gonna work out
I don't get your point, because Labor didn't have a chance prior to Corbyn's rise.
If Democrats were in a similar position perhaps you might have some sort of point.
I Bolded the media peddled establishment savior.... not winning any of the big ones
I hate the media so much trying to make us believe that Rubio is something
In an interview from Davos with Bloomberg TV on January 20, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue, a top lobbyist for the pro-corporate-power Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] agreement, assured viewers that if Hillary Clinton wins the Presidential election, Clinton will support the TPP, even though she opposes it now.
The Chamber president said he expected Hillary Clinton would ultimately support the TPP if she becomes the Democratic nominee for president and is elected. He argued that she has publicly opposed the deal chiefly because her main challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has also done so. "If she were to get nominated, if she were to be elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family is you get a little practical if you ever get the job," he said.
Obama's farewell tour is going to be fun to watch this year, as he does everything he wants and the GOP sits by crying. I've always believed he would do something on marijuana/drug war/prison sentences for non-violent use.
