“With mounting losses and his chances that voters deliver him the Republican nomination near-nonexistent, Marco Rubio is flirting with the same political ‘death spiral’ that swallowed Jeb Bush only three weeks ago,” Politico reports.
“And that was before Tuesday’s devastating results, where Rubio sunk to single digits in Mississippi and Michigan, finishing last and losing so badly that he won no delegates in those two states. He was a distant third in Idaho at risk of getting no delegates there. After he came in third in Hawaii with 12 percent, he was a mere 2 for 24 in the campaign, and his wins came in the Republican hinterlands of Minnesota and Puerto Rico.”
Wall Street Journal: “The lackluster results make it harder for Mr. Rubio to persuade Republicans in Florida, the state he needs to win, that he has a viable shot at the nomination. Queasy donors chattered into the night about whether he would abandon his bid before the Florida contest next Tuesday to avoid an embarrassing home-state loss.”
