After Iowa, I was nearly certain Rubio would win the nomination. The amount of tongue baths and praise he was getting for finishing 3rd solely based off a media manufactured surge was ludicrous, but it did show to what extent the party and media would do to install him as the nominee and next president. He had it all sewn up after that. All he had to do was finish 2nd in NH, and ride even more momentum into SC/NV.

But he choked. His performance in the debate was so bad he finished a pathetic 5th in NH. Most people, including myself, thought the party and media would ditch their losing horse after such a disastrous implosion. But they didn't. Not only did they stick with him, but they've rehabilitated him to the point where he's about to wave yet ANOTHER wave of manufactured momentum to the nomination. If even the debate implosion and 5th place finish in NH didn't stop him, nothing outside of live boy/dead girl will.

This is my official prediction: Marco Rubio will be the Republican nominee, and the next president of the United States. The fix is in.

Why not?

And I'm totally serious. I even just updated my predictions.

Rubio may very well be the nominee, but the general election is a whole different battleground.  The Republicans are making a huge mistake by putting all of their eggs in Marcobot.

It's not just the Republicans covering for him though, it's the media. If he has a bad week on the campaign trail, a gaffe, or a poor debate? Just throw out more email stories or other Hillary faux scandals, or discuss how he's so much more "likable" despite his mishaps.

Or god forbid if Sanders is the nominee, just talk about how he's an f'ing SOCIALIST, and whatever little amazing Marco did can't compare to that godforsaken evil. And before Bernie's bots start quoting polls, you'll see how toxic Bernie embracing socialism really becomes after a full scale media and GOP assault.
