Endorsements usually aren't that large, but this is definitely huge. She is well liked among the Republicans of SC and has a nationwide face in politics. This could project Rubio to #2 in SC.

yeah, she really helped mitt romney win the primary in 2012 with her endorsement...oh wait

Do.. do you mean the general election? Because if you actually mean primary, you're using "oh wait" wrong..

she endorsed him in the 2012 primary and then gingrich routed him...her endorsement meant nothing then and it prob means nothing now

Ahh thank you for clarification!

Although I believe one could argue she has a much larger influence now with her time in SC and her recent rise to nationwide political chitchat.

The establishment really is blowing it.  Primaries are supposed to test and weed out candidates.  Rubio blew it.  Can you imagine what would have happened if Sanders or Clinton (or basically any other candidate in any other year?) messed up the way Rubio did in a debate?

Go ahead.  Nominate Rubio, a candidate that has done nothing to prove himself and quite a bit to prove he can't handle the pressure of a campaign.

Not encouraging anything, just trying to drop some news!
