    LOL it's funny but it's so true. I give Bernie credit for getting people on his side and I doubt anybody thought he would do this well. He has certainly held his own.

    ...not 100% sure but can't "super delegates" change their mind?

    They can as they're not pledged until the actual convention. The sad reality though is that unless Sanders is going to start winning contests by an 80/20 margin those SD don't really matter anyway. I just don't like how the media has always included them in Hillary's count from day one. I don't recall that ever being the case because to me it can sway the process. If I was making the rules the Super Delegates wouldn't be allowed to make their vote known until the convention or a date much closer to it. These states all have specific dates for their caucuses yet the Super Delegates from these same states put their vote out there whenever they want.

    I also look at the DNC's explanation of the SDs as ridiculous. Bascially, to stop any grass roots campaign from derailing a true Democrat and their campaign. Well what in the hell is that? That's pretty much saying to make sure Bernie Sanders doesn't interfere with Hillary running for President. So we will have a farcical (Al Michael's says hi) election to make believe we're actually using a democratic process to elect an candidate.

    It was possible but with every passing day I think it's less likely anything will come from it.

    LOL I don't think he's a bad guy but he has been too easily made to look like the little kid in the room.

    ...yeah, Rubio should have been much more assertive early on and some of his mud slinging with Trump probably hurt him too.

    The night Christie smacked him around on his repeated Obama quote seems to have started his downfall.

    ...gotta admit, I gained a lot of respect for Marco Rubio tonight after watching/hearing his concession speech.

    Rubio dropped out so now I think we'll see a big swing toward Cruz as I think he'll end up getting the majority of Rubio's supporters.

    ...many people have said that Rubio's political future was on the line yesterday and that if he lost Florida it would destroy his career...I simply don't believe that, I think he's learned from his mistakes and still has a bright future.
    ...hearing the man speak last night he seemed almost relieved that the presidential race is over for him and spoke much more eloquently than I have ever heard him speak...and instead of simply spouting political correctness, he spoke of basic core values, something that really impressed me and something that has been sorely missing from the GOP campaigns.

    ...no, I don't think we've heard the last of Marco Rubio.
