Super Tuesday ended Marco Rubio's campaign — despite supporters spending as much as $100 million on the Florida senator's effort to try to stop big winner Donald Trump, political consultant Roger Stone told Newsmax TV.
"It's very clear, based on these results, that Marco Rubio is done," Stone told host J.D. Hayworth during an interview as part of Newsmax TV's Super Tuesday coverage. "The Koch brothers induced the billionaire hedge fund manager, Paul Singer, to put $25 million into Rubio and another $75 million into another stop-Trump campaign.
"Those ads are very heavily on the air now, radio and television," Stone said. "He appears to have had no effect so far. Marco Rubio really has to win in Florida on March 15, his home state, or he is entirely done.
"The establishment now shifts to another game, stall Donald Trump short of the magic number to go over on the first ballot," Stone continued. "Mitt Romney can still get in the race and run in California, New Jersey, a few other late states in order to keep votes away from Donald Trump."

Marco has been done. He needs to move to Minnesota and shut up. He’s like an irritating fly that keeps biting your butt. Time to swat that little sucker.
ReplyDeleteHe is going to lose Florida big (thanks Mitt) and then he is toast.
ReplyDeleteThe RNC is so Embarrassing to the party.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things at play. It is no mystery now that Rubio is the RNC darling but he is seriously flawed as a candidate. Rick Scott (R) governor of Florida has come out and refused to endorse him. He even went so far as to write a glowing commentary for Trump and it's rumored that his endorsement of Trump is forthcoming before March 15th.
ReplyDeleteRubio has issues with embezzling through misappropriating funds via RNC credit card - purchases made were personal and extravagant trips, which poses issues that most Floridians are aware but the MSM fails to relay.
Be watching as we near the Florida tornado. It's slated to be a crushing defeat. Voters are already mounting against Romney's talk down and gun stirring. This is an unprecedented election that will baffle political scientists and historians for many decades to come.
No mystery about it 11:54. Republicans have stroked the fears of white America for eight years never realizing that it would result in Trump.
ReplyDeleteI so look froward to having Donald Trump as my next President!
ReplyDeleteScott endorsing Trump., good news @thorntoncrowe, thank you. I hadn't heard that yet.
