| Cruz to Rubio: Drop Out |
| 2016-03-02 |
| [NATIONALREVIEW] Cruz’s attention remains focused on rival Marco Rubio, and he essentially called Rubio and the rest of his challengers to drop out of the race. “To get to the nomination you need 1,237 delegates. And so I will say for any candidate who wakes up tomorrow morning who has not won any states, for any candidate who wakes up tomorrow morning who has a negligible number of delegates, I think it’s time to start thinking about coming together and unifying and presenting a clear choice,” he said. |

| #20 Emperor Misha at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler summed up best what is in my mind about this: All over RINO land, the lying weasels who always cried about “Party Unity!” when it was us who had to swallow their slimy surrender monkeys are already howling about how they’ll vote for the Hildebeest or stay at home if Trump wins. Good. It’s very helpful of you to provide us with further evidence of your Quisling opportunism and hypocrisy. Not that we needed any more evidence, but it’s always nice when your enemy is kind enough to make mistakes in front of G-d and everybody. No, we’re obviously not talking about those who’ve always followed their conscience. That’s called “having principles” which, albeit not necessarily always the most pragmatic move, is certainly never a dishonorable one. As to ourself, we’ll vote for Trump if he’s the nominee. We’ve held our noses enough times for the RINOs, it’ll be nice to hold it for once for somebody who enjoys kicking them in the balls, even if that turns out to be his only qualification. And we don’t know that yet. However, we do know that if we end up with the Hildebeest or an Establishment whore boy, we’ll get four more years of the same. In the former case because that’s who she is and, in the latter, because… Seriously, you guys, haven’t we already gone through at least a decade of proof that that will also be the same? Name one single thing that resembles a conservative victory brought to us by the GOPe over the last 16 years. Please. We have all day. Did spending go down? Did any of the alphabet soup agencies get disbanded? Do we have border security? Come on. Just one thing. Please. And make it something that actually matters to those of us who work for a living. |

| #19 Rubio should withdraw. He has no chance of winning, and he represents "Business as Usual" in all of the worst ways. I'm pulling for Cruz, but I'll accept Trump if it keeps Clinton out of the White House. |

| #18 Airandee, I think that Ted Cruz is the kind of 'pub you're looking for. Not sure but I hope so. BUT the GOPe fears him because he is the closest thing to a true Tea Partier with national clout. The Pub elite would much prefer Hillary to Cruz because Hillary sure won't upset the graft machine and power grabs. |

| #17 The only things that has rallied the dems and republicans to work together has been the tea party and trump. The republicans seem to have a lot of action and big talk to challenge Trump. Where was that energy to challenge Obama? Maybe if they actually stood up once to Obama they would not be in this position. Romney, Ryan, and Bush can go stand next to Eric Kantor. |

| #16 I'd see Romney taking votes from Rubio and Kasich, not from Trump. Anyway, Romney ain't running. His "big announcement" will be an endorsement of Rubio. Yawn. |

| #15 You'd think, gorb. But, it may well be that Romney has gone the full Al Gore (you NEVER go the full Al Gore) and lost his mind after losing the presidential election. He seems obsessed -- the thing that wouldn't leave the party. |

| #14 If the GOPe can't have Bush or Rubio, they'll settle for Hillary. |

| #13 Romney can't run. It will cause his wife all kinds of health problems. |

| #12 Romney, ya say? A polite opponent in a slashing street brawl, no quarter given. WTF with the GOPe? Get the message, whatever one thinks of Trump, he is the only one that is attacking the status quo that has brought this country down as low as it has sunk so far. Does Trump have all the answers? Probably not. Is he the man of the hour? Probably not. You do not have reasonable people across the aisle that will compromise and work for the common good. Only slopping the trough. We do not have many good alternatives, just very tough choices. One way or another one has to keep Hillary out. She will be the tipping point that will totally bankrupt this country. At least we have defined the enemy. Now what to do about it. |

| #11 Big tents win general elections. |

| #10 This is very interesting. Trump is winning open primary states. Cruz is winning the closed primaries. |

| #9 Per Rush, "big" announcement coming from Romney tomorrow. The stops are really being pulled. |

| #8 He may be a late sleeper. Find him something he can do that permits him to work from home. |

| #7 I can't think of a position truly suitable for Rubio. Busboy. |
| Posted by: Ebbang Uluque6305 2016-03-02 13:00 |
| #6 Sven has the correct answer, but I don't think Cruz can make a public offer. Unlike Christy as Attorney General I can't think of a position truly suitable for Rubio. |

| #5 They are splitting the anti-trump vote, thereby getting Trump elected. |

| #4 My response would be, "What are you offering?" |
