When you do the math, even though Trump won last night, he is not any closer to winning the nomination outright then he was going in. Trump has only won 37% of the votes throughout the Republican primaries and caucuses. George McGovern is the only candidate who has won with a less percentage - 25%, and he took advantage of the delegate rules to win.
Newsmax reporting Rubio will soon endorse Cruz.

Rubio keeps,saying he wants nothing to do with VP, but would be a good ticket with Cruz.

Interesting.

I thought for sure Trump would work his voodoo magic and get Rubio to endorse him.

He said that he is going to finish out his Senate term and then go back to being a citizen.

Yeah, I know thats what he says, but I think little Marco got his feelings hurt and took his ball and went home. I don't believe for a minute he doesn't want to be in politics, I think he's just upset.

Now I'm not saying he becomes Cruz's VP, but just saying I wouldn't be shocked. If I was with Cruz campaign, I'd try to swing a deal with Rubio for his delegates. Plus it help in the general election since he's both hispanic and from Florida. I think its got tons of upside. He's more centrist than Cruz, but not liberal. I think he'd be a great choice.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cruz choose Mike Lee from Utah, but I don't see that helping in the election, though I think Cruz could beat Hillary no matter his VP choice.

Speaking of VPs, saw a Newsmax article that Ben Carson is going to meet with Trump to discuss being his VP. He is becoming such a shill. He's practically publicly begging to be VP. Personally I think Trump will pick Christie. It seems that some of these guys are selling their soul to Trump, and he's buying. Or Trump may pull a big surprise move and name Originalist as his VP, lol.
