If he's Mondale, who's Cruz? Kasich?

Yes, from now on Rubio shall be called Walter Rubio.

This whole time the establishment was creaming their pants not over the second coming of Ronald Reagan, but of Walter Mondale!

what a loser! and he won't win anything after DC, so its finalized!

Can we wait until he loses Florida before we make this judgment? I don't want us to look back at this moment with a sense of emptiness and regret, in the scenario that he pulls off an upset.

I'm not so sure. Some of the most recent polls have Trump up by single digits, and we've seen him underperform in closed primaries. Remember Oklahoma?

Not to mention, there's a possibility that the Chicago incident might have eroded some of his soft support. Who knows?

Trump was up by 11 in the RCP polling average, and lost by 6. That's a 17 point swing.

He's up by 17 in FL according to the same average.

I would say its possible, if not for the fact Rubio is a complete choke artist. So gona have to disagree.

Youth and inexperience. Minnesota and DC. It all makes sense. Also, I'm not sure had Rubio will break 34%.

PR isint part of the mainline, and had it voted in 1984 (or was a state) it would have voted Mondale.

Nice try. Rubio=Mondale. Deal.

Yeah, a lot of us noticed that a while ago.

Probably the best part of the 2016 GOP primary, to be honest.
