He's young, handsome, fresh, Latino. Yes, he changed his position on immigration, but he could win Florida's delegates, and could give Donald Trump a lot of trouble.

Pull the other one.

Sunset in Sunshine State?: Speaking of polls and "winner-take-all" states, Trump is crushing the competition, including home-state Sen. Marco Rubio, in Florida.

Depends on the firmware version really. Also, how much money the Koch Bro. feel like wasting this time around.

If he gives Trump trouble in FL it only benefits Cruz.

Rubio is a gifted politician (good public speaker etc.) but he's done as far as this election is concerned.

Not happening. Florida is winner take all and all the polls show Trump crushing him. We're only a couple hours away from the proof. So what delegates, exactly, are gonna be Rubio's?

How can he be a lightweight when he was on top of Mitt Romney ' s VP list until he chose Ryan?
If you've been bested by Ryan, a feather floating in the breeze, you're a hot air balloon with no balloon, an unrestrained puff of air expanding into nothingness.

"Underestimate Marco Rubio at your own peril" is what he says to his bottle of water before gulping it down.

Then he crushes the bottle like an alpha!

I can't respect a guy who will lose his own home state, then insist he's gonna stay in the race. He's an idiot and a turd in the punch bowl. I know he's hoping to pick up the nomination via a brokered convention, but that's pretty deluded thinking at this point.

Marco Rubio Drops Out of Presidential Race
After a devastating loss in his home state of Florida, Sen. Marco Rubio drops out of the presidential race.

"While we are on the right side — this year we will not be on the winning side," Rubio said. "While today my campaign is suspended."

Rubio was unable to gain traction in a race dominated by a boisterous and bombastic Donald Trump, who has lead the Republican field for eight months.

"The politics of resentment against other people won't just leave us as a fractured party, they're going to leave us as a fractured nation," Rubio said.

Stop. I just thought that he had a bright political future. That's all. Anything can happen in politics. He may run for governor of Florida in 2018, though.

He should pull a Charlie Christ and switch parties.
