Anyone who isn't completely in the tank for Rubio probably sees whatever he is doing now as a desperate last ditch effort.  Maybe he could have done some real damage if he had begun in November.  Too late now.

With what is reported about Rubio, I am not surprised that he has an interest in another man's underwear.

He might just be trying to figure out if Trump stores his money there. Ted Cruz informed him that some people put their money there.

It's a better strategy than the previous plan to just ignore Trump entirely, but that is a fairly low bar.

Yes, if you use the same definition of winning as Rubio.

I read somewhere that Trump's speeches were analyzed and found to be equivalent to a fourth grade-reading level. Just for reference, the same analysis done on all members of Congress found that the "dumbest" representatives spoke at a seventh grade-reading level.

No.  Calling him a "con aratist" and talking about Trump steaks, Trump ties from Mexico, Trump University, Trump water, and Trump illegal Polish workers is a good strategy.  Using schoolyard insults when you already have a reputation as a little boy is a losing strategy.

Most Americans are at a 3rd-grade reading level, so who cares.

It only works for Trump because his whole persona makes people expect it. It sounds whiney and ... robotic with Rubio.

Its not.

As somebody in SC quoted to me about Trump and why they were supporting him.  " He says things that most of us have been thinking for a long time and he explains it like we would"

Trump went on to win 43 of 46 counties in SC.   

This is losing cause for Rubio makes him look even more D.C elitist .
