The Last of the Establishment Candidates

First Read: “When this presidential contest started a year ago, and when most of us thought Trump was unlikely to run, we identified three establishment frontrunners: Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio. Well, Walker ended his presidential bid two months after formally announcing. Bush, after spending some $82 million over the airwaves throughout the course of the contest, dropped out after finishing fourth in South Carolina. And unless the polling is really off in Florida, Rubio soon could end up exiting the GOP race, though he has been putting on a brave face.”

Caveat: “If Rubio suspends his campaign, many of his delegates would become free agents. So to keep them — and ensure they don’t go to Trump — he could stay in the race.”
