Today, not only did a major Florida newspaper refuse to endorse anybody in the GOP clown car for President — including its own US Senator, Baby Marco Rubio — but Michael Bloomberg said nerts to running for the White House himself because, he stated, "There is a good chance that my candidacy could lead to the election of Donald Trump... That is not a risk I can take."
What a contrast from the clowns who bashed Trump relentlessly at the last Republican debate and then turned around and said, "But of course we'll support him."
So! Another red-letter day for Rancid Pieface and his gang of incompetents over at the RNC. The Presidential primaries that they had so carefully crafted to prevent a nut from taking over the process is about to give them — drum roll — a nut, taking over the process. Except in this case it's not the fringe-y guy they once feared (Ron Paul), but Trump.
Their only hope is to have Kasich and Baby Marco win their home states and send everybody to Cleveland with an insufficient chunk o' delegates and fight it out. Hm. It looks like Kasich might be able to deliver Ohio, but Rubio in Florida? Not so much.
Then again, polls have narrowed there, and the Sunshine State doesn't vote until next Tuesday. So Baby Marco does have some time to catch up to The Donald... if he can cobble together some sort of organization, if he can use Super PAC money for last-minute voter ID and GOTV, if he doesn't bomb at Thursday night's debate, and if the stop-Trump Super PAC ads do any good. That's a lot of ifs.
But even if all those ifs do come through, what about the early voters? Trump has led in early voting in other states, but one recent poll has Baby Marco flipping that script in Florida. Problem is, the script works against him, too: "His support appears to be collapsing among those yet to vote."
Oy. Sounds like the Baby Marco minions should order in a few cases of Pepto-Bismol. In the meantime, we don't agree that it's time for Rubio to throw in the towel. If he gets embarrassed in his home state on March 15, great. If not, he'll march on to the mayhem that will be the Republican National Convention. We cats win either way. Which makes us PURR.
