Speaking in Georgia, Marco Rubio once again compared today’s Republican Party to those of Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. How wrong can one man be? Today both former presidents would be called ‘moderate Democrats.’ They would besmirch today’s GOP as a group of extremists who lack Republican ideals and principles.

His only campaign effort is to attack Donald Trump, and he’s not good at it. He is using the same methods as Trump; name calling, and personal attacks; but he’s not good at them; Trump wins.

“I will campaign as hard as it takes, I will stay in this race as long as it takes,” Rubio told the crowd. “A con artist will never get control of this party.” I guess he doesn’t look at the polls. Rubio is leading in only one out of eleven states on Super Tuesday; Trump leads in eight.

Rubio said the following Sunday on FOX Noise.

“We feel good about Tuesday. We’re gonna get a lot of delegates on Tuesday. We want to win states on Tuesday. We’re gonna win states after Tuesday,” he said. “I can tell you this, I don’t care about if I have to get in my pickup truck and drive around the country like I did when I ran for the state senate. Donald Trump will never be the nominee of the party of Lincoln and Reagan.”

He just doesn’t get it; Republican voters don’t want him as their president, and neither do I. He is unqualified, and the few plans he has revealed all benefit the one-percent. An independent agency has labeled his tax plan as ‘a gift to the wealthy class.’

The only way Rubio has even a slim chance is if he finishes no less than second place in every primary tomorrow. But he has a bigger problem.

Florida holds its primary on March 15^th. As of today, Rubio is losing to Trump by nearly 20 percentage points, and is ahead of Ted Cruz by only five. If he can’t win his home state convincingly, he will ‘hear the fat lady singing.’

Rubio continually proves that he is not intelligent enough to win the GOP nomination. He can’t beat Trump at his own game, and he hasn’t offered voters anything which would influence them to support him in the primaries. A composite of national Republican polls reveals that Trump is increasing the divide between himself and his two closest rivals.

Trump now polls at 35.6 percent, (as high as 49 in a CNN poll), while Cruz is at 19.8 percent, and Rubio 17.4. In the same CNN poll, Cruz is at 15, and Rubio 16.

Rubio can continue to dream, and after tomorrow he will likely find another fallacious way to claim victory; but facts are facts.

Mr. Rubio; it’s time to pack up your bags and go back to Washington. You might try to do the job for which you were elected.
