Interesting times ahead in Florida -- and the other states which has winner take all -- for the selection of candidates.

Donald Trump will be derailed either before or at the convention.

I just listened to Trump addressing a massive gathering in Orlando.

Trump is leading in Florida.

CNN:

Washington (CNN)A battle is being waged within Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's campaign about whether he should even remain in the Republican presidential race ahead of his home state primary on March 15, sources say.

Rubio himself is "bullish" on his odds of winning the critical primary, despite some advisers who are less hopeful and believe a loss there would damage him politically in both the short- and long-term.

Publicly, the campaign is maintaining they are still a contender in this race, touting a Sunday win in Puerto Rico's primary that delivered Rubio 23 delegates. But privately, the campaign is having a debate about whether he should remain in the mix -- even for his home state of Florida's primary.

"He doesn't want to get killed in his home state," one source familiar with the discussions said, noting "a poor showing would be a risk and hurt his political future."

I believe Rubio will beat him in Florida and that will slow him down. He will not get the magic number to win the nomination.

Even with Florida he cannot get to 1237

I am predicting that Trump is going to "finish" lil Marco in Florida.

Trump is going all the way to the Cleveland Republican Convention. We will see the fire works there. There might be some bar room brawls with chairs and tables. Sit back and wait.

Rubio is in a bad way. He is broke and unemployed as he gave up his Senate seat.  Some claim Floridians think that he did a bad job and so don't plan to vote for him.

Too bad the alternative is Trump or Cruz, because Kasich is sinking.

I hope he does, because Hillary will then finish off Trump in November.  While we speak, there is widespread panic about the notion of a President Trump.

The media is now out of love with Trump, so in Oct/Nov we will hear all about his dirty laundry, which will sway the swing to Hillary.

., I doubt Trump will get to the 1237 number which then makes it messy!!

And Hillary will be dancing!!

I see, you finally admit that a GOP brawl at the Convention, with Trump bringing 1,100 delegates, and the GOP attempting to select Ryan as the Presidential candidate.

Just get used to the notion of President Clinton (II), unless Sanders swamps her today in Michigan.

Trumps goons are going to beat up Romney and the rest of the Country Club set at the GOP convention. Too bad for you that the USA in 2016 isn't Germany in the late 30s, when fascists could engage in violence and seize control.

. But Trump will be better!!

What specific actions will Trump take to stimulate the economy.  Tell us please because Trump himself doesn't know.

He screams goals, but not tactics to tell us how he will accomplish this.

But by Nov you will discover what a hypocrite Trump is. He himself has operations in other countries, imports goods from other countries, and employs people who are neither US citizens or permanent residents.
