In response to "B2: "Resounding Rejection" of Rubio" by Strongbad

3rd place (or possibly 4th) isn't great when #1 is Trump and #2 is Cruz.

I think Jindal, Walker and Huckabee are done - at least as far as their presidential ambitions are concerned.

This campaign is unusual, because 50%+ of primary voters are mad at the party and want it to go in a populist direction. I don't fault him for not getting the whole party behind him.

But at the same time, if Rubio can't unite the establishment wing of the party behind him, even after players like Bush, Christie, etc have dropped out, even with the intense need for the establishment to unite behind a single candidate, that doesn't bode well for his chances of leading a broader coalition.

Jindal's going to be lucky to avoid prison for what he did to Louisiana. -- nm - David Mar 14, 11:08 1
- I wish this had come out more. I've lost complete respect for him after finding out how he handled education after Katrina. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:13
