Caucuses boost him in Alaska and Minnesota, he's within striking distance in Vermont, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, Haslam endorsement miraculously boosts him in Tennessee?

Bill Frist just endorsed Rubio, too.

Rubio ain't winnin' Oklahoma or Vermont, I'll tell you that much. The political machine here may be behind Rubio, but look at how much that did for him in Nevada?

I mean it'd be a great scenario for him, but it's not close to realistic.

He won't win AK or OK but he may yet play in VA.

Personally, I think Rubio's best case involves Trump trashing Cruz in TX. Even if Rubio later loses FL, he may then end up as the last man standing against Trump.

But first, he has to sail through tonight's debate without a glitch!

Since when is he within striking distance in Vermont? Also, Rubio's not winning AK, AR, or VA.

If Trump has 40% in GA, then there is no way that Rubio does that well elsewhere. I say that because Georgia is currently one of Rubio's best states at the moment.

His best case would be winning MN, TN, and VA.

His best case scenario would be for some kind of trick fix by the Establishment to be "in" and right now.

Rubio is a weak, lame candidate who's won the Establishment Musical Chairs game.  Kasich has no chance and Cruz isn't in the game; it's down to one chair.  Seriously, though, what legitimate appeal does Rubio have?  That he's the best of a bad lot?  That he's got "millenial" appeal?  There is NOTHING compelling about Marco Rubio's narrative that keeps him from looking bought, paid for, and propped up.
