Will Rubio surge after tonight's results?

[Maxwell]

He and Cruz will "surge" to a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 race with Trump.

Nah Cruz will drop. My prediction for the first poll after SC -

40% Trump
26% Rubio
16% Cruz
10% Kasich
4% Carson

Yes. Rubio is the anti-Trump that Trump has been waiting for.

Corrected.

Trump will slaughter Rubio.

I must concur with the wise Oklahoman. Trump will be even more brutal than Christie, so brutal that Rubio may start crying at one point.

I am now really looking forward to the next GOP debate.

I would wait for Rubio's coronation as the Anti-Trump candidate until SuperTuesday. There are too many question marks about him and Kasich is still around.

I would agree.  Kasich may be the stealth figure here.  He didn't do well in SC but wasn't expected to--and the media attention is on Bush dropping out. 

I don't think Kasich will become the anti-Trump, but he will continue to split that vote with Rubio.  And this will allow Trump to squeak through with  a 32-35% ceiling to pick up delegates in greater proportion to his vote totals.
