He seems very overrated, but it is clearer and clearer that the media have difficulties having an independent thought. Last time, Fiorina had won. It lasted 2 weeks and she collapsed again. Before him was Walker, who is no more there.

I thought Cruz and Christie won the debate (not of substance because there was no substance, but in style). Except a cheap attack on the media as being HRC's superpac (BTW, she has a superpac and it is bigger than what Rubio has), he was as bland as possible. And frankly, if debates were important, Carson would be out, because he was bad in every debate and here, he was making no sense on his budget.

Every one will get his 15 minutes, if they (he?) can survive.

He hit a few things out of the park that media is ignoring today. Destroyed Kasich for example.

But I can definitely see establishment Gop'ers/donors ditching Bush and lining up behind Rubio to give him money.

- he's young and pretty
- he's hispanic so maybe hispanics will vote for him?
- he can talk in complete sentences
- he's an RW ideologue, but he sounds sane (see above re complete sentences) even though he's crazy.

Seems like their best bet for the general, at least for the next 15 minutes, lol.
