Two weeks ago, @pbump notes, Romney was trying to get Kasich to drop out so party could unify behind mighty Marco wpo.st/ZHQK1

Jennifer Rubin: Is this Marco Rubio’s time? “Rubio might be the odds-on favorite” ledger-enquirer.com/opinion/opn-co…

Rubio has leverage 2 get VP slot if he drops out? Seems fantasy. Why wld Cruz want Mr. Amnesty any more than voters? wpo.st/skPK1

Trump said China trade deficit was $500B. It’s really $366B! If only voters knew. It would be over for him. twitter.com/stephenfhayes/…

“What will they try next if the UK votes to Remain?” capx.co/zFlIy

Friendly thought: If Trump’s leading a movement, tell us more about the workers who’ve been betrayed, less about fabulous luxury properties?

NO NEW STEAKS! Aside from excruciating 5 min. talking abt his various holdings Trump news conference OK. Hope he got that out of his system!

George Martin, who produced Flanders & Swann, dies. Later did other work. billboard.com/articles/news/…

The @nprpolitics Team really does not care about the GOP race. I wonder why!

Scariest tweet of the day. twitter.com/JakeSherman/st…

Rubio sub-Kaus in Mississippi (< 5%), locked in tense battle with Base Ten numeral system in Michigan, which he is losing (9.2%).

“Mr. Trump, how did you win the Presidency?”
“I kept peaking”

At this point, does Cruz even want Rubio to drop out before Florida? Then Trump beats Cruz head to head, no? twitter.com/SteveForbesCEO…

Not so unclear … twitter.com/brianbeutler/s…

MAKE LEMONADE DEPT.: Rubio fundraising email now telling me “every dollar goes to Florida.”

What’s new is that on immgiration there really is a shadowy Establishment conspiracy against current US workers kausfiles.com/archive/index.…

Note to Trump pundits: Blaming working class troubles on outside forces not new-Gore, many Shrum campaigns try it kausfiles.com/archive/index.…

Oy. Fournier’s Macomb contractor pal again. Has any journo ever milked more punditry from a single ambiguous quote? twitter.com/ron_fournier/s…

Same for me. I think tech problem. Retweets etc. normal, analytics kablooie. twitter.com/MarkSKrikorian…

Dems became “tribune of the enlightened professional class …that makes innovative things [like] smartphone apps” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Lost me on the last line gu.com/p/4hc6m/stw

Press blames Rubio failure on press fixation on process over substance, thereby fixating on process over substance washingtonpost.com/politics/bad-s…

Maybe reason running on substance didn’t work 4 Rubio 1.0 wasn’t a flawed, trivializing media but voters rejecting his substance-ie Gangof8

It wasn’t substance (amnesty) that hurt Rubio-it was infrastructure! Of course Trump has no infrastructure either… washingtonpost.com/politics/bad-s…

The campaign to blame a Rubio loss on strategy, staffing–anything but his immigration amnesty fiasco–has begun washingtonpost.com/politics/bad-s…
