      1. A confession: I got suckered by the pro-Rubio pundits.

      2. Looking over my old tweets & essays, there's a lot I got right: the staying power of Trump, Cruz's hold on the conservative base.

      3. The one thing I got wrong was I thought Rubio had a shot. I should take responsibility but I blame Douthat, Chait, Silver & Co.

          @HeerJeet Of course Rubio had a shot. Don't be so hard on yourself :)

          @DouthatNYT @HeerJeet just like the Phillies "had a shot" at the World Series. Technically true while being realistically impossible.

          4. Everyone who is smarter than me said Rubio was formidable talent & frontrunner. I turned blind eye to evidence to the contrary.

          @HeerJeet it was hard arguing that.

          @HeerJeet You should have been listening to @mehdirhasan. He saw through Rubio rather early.

          @HeerJeet Its hard to tell when we don't know the distribution of possible outcomes. This is only one realization.

          @HeerJeet It took a while for many (incl GOP voters) to realize he was just pitching a Geo Bush term #3. Even his own guys rejected that.

          @HeerJeet If I were on Team Rubio, I'd have a stronger hand. He can still squeeze in if the convention is brokered & he wins FL & Big East.
