Hmm, Will Marco Rubio Endorse Ted Cruz and Will It Make any Difference?

WILL MARCO RUBIO ENDORSE TED CRUZ?

It is being reported that former GOP presidential candidate and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is close to endorsing current Republican presidential candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. One can never get enough endorsements but one also has to wonder whether it will make a difference. If Cruz wants to catch front-runner Donald Trump and minimize establishment candidate John Kasich, an endorsement from Rubio probably could not hurt. Except for his position on illegal immigration, Marco Rubio is a pretty strong conservative. A Rubio endorsement might have meant a little more had Marco gotten out of the race before the Florida primary where he got soundly defeated by Trump We shall see what happens. In the end conservatives do need to stick together.

Marco Rubio is close to endorsing Ted Cruz, but the two proud senators — and recent fierce rivals — have some details to work out first.

Cruz has to ask for the Rubio’s endorsement, and both sides need to decide that it will make a difference, according to sources familiar with the thinking of both senators.

Rubio and Cruz, who are more friendly with each other in the Senate than they are with longer-serving colleagues, occasionally chatted and patched up their sometime-rocky relationship on the campaign trail heading into Florida’s primary Tuesday, when Rubio was blown out by Donald Trump and subsequently quit the presidential race.

The buzz about a Rubio endorsement of Cruz intensified after the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Thursday reported that the Florida senator called his Texas colleague “the only conservative left in the race.”

Rubio, who returned to work Thursday in the Capitol, told reporters “I don’t have any announcement on that today” when asked about a Cruz endorsement. Rubio indicated, though, that he might have something to say soon.

“There’s time to prevent a Trump nomination, which I think would fracture the party and be damaging to the conservative movement,” Rubio said, stressing that he’s not interested in being anyone’s vice-presidential pick or running for Florida governor.

Socialist Bernie Sanders Gains on Clinton Ahead of Tuesday Primary Contests in Ohio, Illinois & Missouri

DON’T LOOK NOW HILLARY, YOU GOT A SOCIALIST ON YOUR TAIL

Just before today’s Tuesday Democrat primary votes, self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton in Missouri and has cut into the Democratic front-runner’s lead in Ohio and Illinois. The three states are considered a toss up. The MSM can make all the claims they want about the dysfunction on the GOP side, it is actually the Democrats that are in complete disarray and face a possible civil war in the party. It is remarkable to think that Sanders is posing any challenge to Clinton. However, it shows just how wounded a candidate she is, just how much the Democrats despise the establishment also, and just how Far Left the Democrat party has become.

PPP Poll Democrats 03-15-16

The race for the Democratic presidential nomination is tightening, with Bernie Sanders closing in on Hillary Clinton in two important contests.

Sanders is leading Clinton in Missouri and has cut into the Democratic front-runner’s lead in Ohio and Illinois, according to a new survey the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP).

All three states now look like toss-ups, with the PPP poll showing Sanders trailing Clinton by just 5 points, 46 percent to 41 percent, in Ohio.

The change is particularly notable because several polls in Ohio at the beginning of the month showed Clinton with a 20- to 30-point lead over the Vermont senator.

The race has drawn much closer since Sanders’s surprise win in Michigan; he also trailed by double-digits in that state weeks before its primary.

In Illinois, Clinton gets 48 percent in the PPP survey compared to 45 percent for Sanders.

In Missouri, Sanders gets 47 percent to 46 percent for Clinton, according to PPP.

Clinton has larger leads in two other states holding contests on Tuesday: Florida and North Caroli

Polls Ahead of the Republican Ohio & Florida Primaries … Illinois, North Carolina & Missori Also

2016 GOP contenders

The Florida primaries can be followed HERE. Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri.

MARIST POLL – FLORIDA

Donald Trump appears way out a head in Florida of Marco Rubio in the latest Marist poll. Rubio’s main concern should not be whether he can win his own home Senate state of Florida, but whether Ted Cruz will beat him out for second place.

  • Donald Trump 43%
  • Marco Rubio 22%
  • Ted Cruz 21%
  • John Kasich 9%

CBS POLL – FLORIDA

If Marco Rubio finished third in Florida, how could he ever justify continuing his campaign? The RCP average of polling as Trump way out ahead. It would seem that the Florida primary will be called shortly after all the polls close and the only thing in doubt is whether Rubio will suffer the humiliation of a third place finish in his own state.

  • Donald Trump 44%
  • Ted Cruz 24%
  • Marco Rubio 21%
  • John Kasich 9%

NBC-MARIST POLL – OHIO

Kasish hold a 6 point lead over Trump; however, that was before all hell took place on Friday and over the weekend in Chicago and Ohio at Trump rallies where the LEFT tried to shut down Trumps free speech. There is no way to know how that type of bullying will play with the voters.

  • John Kasish 39%
  • Donald Trump 33%
  • Ted Cruz 19%
  • Marco Rubio 6%

CBS POLL – OHIO

  • Donald Trump 33% (tie)
  • John Kasish 33% (tie)
  • Ted Cruz 27%
  • Marco Rubio 5%

The polls in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina all have either Trump in first place or a strong second. In Illinois, Donald Trump leads with 38% as Ted Cruz is a close second with 34%. Trump is also way out ahead in the polls in North Carolina and Missouri. In the Show Me state its a two team race between Trump and Cruz. Which begs the question following Super Tuesday, Part Deux … Rubio and Kasich need to drop out and make this a final table pairing of two of GOP political presidential game of Texas Hold Em.

Ben Carson Plans to Endorse Donald Trump (VIDEO)

Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson plans on endorsing Donald Trump. Carson, who just last week suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, plans to endorse Trump on Friday. Hmm … wonder what position Ben Carson would get in a Trump Administration? Last night during the 107th Republican debate on CNN, Trump referenced that Carson would be endorsing him. Talk about your Odd Couples. Could there be two candidates farther apart in style? I have to say that Ben Carson must have the thickest skin ever of anyone running for president or The Donald made him an offer he could not refuse. Remember when Trump likens Carson’s ‘pathology’ to that of a child molester during previous debates? Really Ben, this is who you would endorse?

This is obviously a key endorsement and coming right ahead of the Ohio and Florida primaries. A key endorsement indeed.

Conservative favorite Ben Carson, who last week suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, plans to endorse Donald Trump on Friday morning, according to two people familiar with his thinking.

The endorsement, perhaps the most high-profile nod for Trump since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie backed him, was finalized Thursday morning when Carson met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the luxury club owned by the Republican front-runner, the people said. The sources requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Friday’s announcement will also take place at the club in Palm Beach, Fla., where the onetime rivals will appear alongside one another at a news conference.

Univision Debate Moderator Jorge Ramos asks Hillary Clinton if She Will Drop Out of the Campaign, “If You get Indicted, will you Drop Out?” (VIDEO)

WOW, HAVE TO GIVE JORGE RAMOS CREDIT .. HE ASKED THE QUESTION THAT THE REST OF THE GUTLESS MSM HAS BEEN AFRAID TO ASK CLINTON …

Univision Debate Moderator Jorge Ramos went there last night and actually asked the question that the rest of the gutless MSM, including FOX News, has been unwilling and afraid to ask … “If You get Indicted, will you Drop Out?”

It was quite the uncomfortable moment in the Democrat debate for Hillary Clinton as she tried to laugh off the question and then not really answer it. She actually dismissed the question. Really Hillary? There are between 100-150 FBI agents working on your private email scandal and crimes and you are so flipped about it. She responded to Ramos by saying, “That is not going to happen. I’m not even answering that question.”

Univision debate moderator Jorge Ramos confronted Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday over her email scandal, directly asking her if she would drop out of the race for her party’s nomination if she were indicted.

“If you get indicted, will you drop out?” he asked her.

The former secretary of state refused to answer the question.

“Oh, for goodness,” she started when Ramos pressed her on the issue after she initially danced around it. “It’s not going to happen. I’m not even answering that question.”

And you hear the clapping of the sycophants in the audience when Hillary gave her lie-packed answers that everyone did it. Really? Everyone had a private email server in their bathroom? Imagine how the crowd would be reacting if it were a Republican who had done the same thing. Last time I checked Hillary, 150 FBI agents were not investigating any other past Secretary of States. ONLY YOU!

Let’s see if she’s laughing when the FBI brings down their decision.
