It really didn't take long for the Rubio Republican Savior thing to be put to bed.

It actually took way too damn long. He got put on the cover of Time magazine as "the Republican Savior" in 2013, and ever since he announced his campaign in April the pundits have been slobbering all over him.

At the risk of overcaution it is unclear at this point. Rubio certainly hurt himself but it is unclear how much and where his support would go. If his votes move to the other establishment candidates (Bush, Christie, Kasich) then he is badly hurt. But if the support goes to Trump and/or Cruz, well, Rubio is somewhat weakened but it leaves the GOP establishment with no better options given the current low standing of Bush, Christie and Kasich.
