Marco Rubio doesn't seem to know he's losing

Marco Rubio has won zero primary states so far. Donald Trump has so far won most of the states. Even Ted Cruz has won more than Rubio — with Iowa, Texas, and Oklahoma now under his belt.

If anything, Super Tuesday seems to have solidified Trump and Cruz's leads on Rubio.

Yet Rubio keeps claiming that he's somehow going to turn all of this around and win the nomination. In his speech on Tuesday, Rubio claimed:
Five days ago, we began to explain to the American people that Donald Trump is a con artist. And in just five days, we have seen the impact that it is having all across the country. We are seeing in state after state, he loves to talk about polls. We are seeing in state after state his numbers coming down, our numbers going up.

This was maybe credible a few weeks ago — when it looked like the establishment was rallying around Rubio. But Trump has won big in most states. And the polls still show that Trump has a big lead, even in Rubio's home state of Florida.

1. But his pockets are

getting stuffed full of cash, so what if he loses primaries, he's getting free $$. And he's thrilled because he seems to be under the impression that Drumpf will be defeated either in the convention or by way of voting machine manipulation. Reality is not on the menu for this one.

2. Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

3. Not just losing this -- but all, given that he isn't running to keep his Senate seat

He already said he was done with the Senate to spend his time running for President.

Drumpf gleefully cites Rubio's absentee record on committees.

Even if he changes his mind on the Senate, those absences doom him.

4. "Marco Rubio has won zero primary states so far"

I thought Rubio won Minnesota?

5. True, but it's a caucus state, not a primary state.

The interesting thing about that one is that Minnesota already has experience with "Drumpf Lite" -- Jesse "The Body" Ventura -- and they consigned Drumpf to third, behind Cruz.

6. I thought I read that Minnesota is a caucus state.

11. I just wanted to come in here to dispel the notion

...that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing. He knows *exactly* what he's doing. In all seriousness, it's shaping up to be a brutal fortnight for him.

13. The Republican establishment are egging him on in panic

They don't want Trump or Rubio. That's why he won't leave. He's their "savior" right now. They're promising him anything he wants if he doesn't stop running.

14. They already know they're a bunch of losers: He's just at the head of the line.
