      1. Let's think through the scenario the GOP establishment has that Rubio can save them from Trump.

      2. The idea is that if it's a head-to-head Trump v. Rubio, the anti-Trump consolidated vote would favor Rubio.

      3. The first thing is: it's not a 2-way race yet. It's a 5 way race. How do you convince Cruz, Kasich & Carson to drop out?

      4. Carson will stay in as long he as gets fundraisng $$. Kasich wants to try his luck in mid-west. And then there is Cruz.

      5. I can imagine Kasich & Carson pulling out soon. But Cruz? This is not a man who is amenable to reason or the good of the party.

      6. Cruz has every incentive to stay in this till the end & see if he can be a kingmaker if no-one has enough delegates to win.

      7. But let's say by some miracle this becomes a 2-man race. Not all of Carson/Kasich/Cruz voters will go to Rubio.

      8. Trump v. Rubio won't be 32-68. It'll be closer than that. And Trump is not a man who is afraid to fight dirty.

      9. On Rubio's side, he'll have tons of $$. Could do a real scorched earth ad campaign like Romney did with Gingrich in Florida in 2008.

      10. On Trump's side, in xenophobic year he'd be up against a Cuban American, fluent Spanish speaker who favored amnesty for undocumented

      11. So, Trump v. Rubio is not a sure thing at all. And we're a long way from even getting there.

          @HeerJeet trump hasn't even attacked Rubio nearly as much as Jeb/Cruz yet, either.

          @HeerJeet Trump vs. Rubio might not happen until after states vote on 3/15 or later. Might too late to catch Trump by then.

          @HeerJeet would you agree that if trump doesn't get over 50% of delegates they will unite against him? Cause of his bush lied stuff.

          12. The time to unite the party against Trump was before Iowa. Now it might be too late.

          13. The key is you can't defeat Trump without risking alienating his followers & provoking a 3rd party run.

          @HeerJeet if Kasich stays in through ohio, it can't be a two-way race until late March, by which time trump can have so many delegates
