Upshot: GOP race looks Chaotic: It's Not.

After Cruz's fantastic rollout are we STILL talking about Marco Rubio as a serious contender? this is fycking ridiculous.

I mean. Rubio could MAYBE re-invent his image and become a Bush-type Republican if Bush somehow implodes (but if anything Rubio's potential for implosion is far greater). But I think Bush is just going to trod onward mediocrely.

Way too early to count out Christie.

Actually... I agree. I could see a Gingrich-esqe return for him.

In other words, Cohn is pretty much wrong.

Fantastic - Existing in or constructed from fantasy; of or relating to fantasy; fanciful. Not believable; implausible; seemingly only possible in fantasy. Resembling fantasies in irregularity, caprice, or eccentricity; irregular; grotesque.

Yes, I'd say that fantastic describes it perfectly.

Deny all you want, man, he raised some serious funds, he's surging in the polls, and the media criticisms over him being a crazy arch-conservative is EXACTLY what he wants. It's his strategy even.

That's the thing...

I see where everyone fits
- Establishment - Jeb (maybe Christie)
- Libertarian (comparatively,but not really) - Paul
- Tea-party + religious - Cruz

etc... but even with people like Walker, who I don't see an easy fit, I still see a place for them. I just don't see where Rubio fits in this discussion... at all.

I'm not sure you're responding to the right post - I agree with you 100%.

The media denial of Ted Cruz and acceptance of Marco Rubio is absolute beltway insanity.
