Go to about 1:33 if you have a short attention span

I think I saw that, but Youtube says it's blocked in my country (Socialist Republic of Kalifornia). What is the key point you are referring?

Trump lost Iowa.

Bad news for him. Today the Establishment, FOX News and el Rushbo have taken Rubio's side. Trump may still win, but he is weaker and the GOPe are about to do work on him.

Bank on it.

Trump didn't lose. His ROI was the highest of the bunch. He had nothing invested, had no ground game, and won a strong second seat (greater support than any previous winner, let alone a runner-up). A debate appearance and/or more ground work would have put him over the top. Rubio was a bit of a surprise, but 3rd place isn't better than second. It was one state, with a screwy primary process (nothing wrong with it, chose your representatives however you like). At the end of the day, it was the first state, with a few to go, yet. Oh, and $6M raised for veterans (in less time than the caucus)? Doesn't sound like a loss, to me.

Why has Rush chosen Rubio over Cruz? Maybe he doesn't think Cruz can win the general election?

Took him a long time to get to the 2nd Amendment stuff (about 44 minutes), but it was surprisingly positive.

The last two winners of Iowa didn't get the nomination, so it's not all that important. Haven't heard that Rush is for Rubio, if so it's the last time I'll listen to him. If the GOP is stupid enough to choose Rubio (Mr illegal alien Amnesty) then they will lose the election and this country is finished as we know it, and will become a permanent demoncat oligarchy

He said "We will not harm the 2nd, we need to EXPAND IT"

Dare any of you to present a presidential candidate who has said that in the past 100 years

Trump was closer to third than first, now he is crying that Cruz stole the election.

The GOPe does not want Trump because a racist will get blown out in the General, they do not want Cruz as he will also lose. They like Rubio as he can be CONTROLLED and has a outside shot.

Watch money to start going to Rubio big.

False accusation. Trump is not a "racist" as testified to by how many blacks and latinos support him. What Trump is, is an America firster, as I am. The neo-con beltway Rubio will be another Romney, because folks like me won't vote for him, staying home again. Trump appeals to independents as well as millions of people who have never voted before, or gave up voting. Trump is going to win New Hampshire http://www.whdh.com/story/31126831/hiller-instinct-7newsumass-lowell-new-hampshire-tracking-poll-day-3

So that was not Trump 3 days ago saying he would bomb the sh*t out of ISIL.

Sounds pretty neocon to me, never mind that he let his daughter marry a Jewish person.

I think THAT is the source of much of Trump's popularity ... he is the least-likely candidate to be "controllable". And I think that's the source of Democrats' (and also establishment Republicans') fear of Trump getting nominated.

Is there an assumption here that Rubio is anti 2nd Amendment?

The difference is he does not want to nationbuild, merely take out enemies (yeah, I know, really, but they are attacking us) There's no perfect candidate but the next election is for the soul of this country, as at least 2 and maybe 4 USSC judges will be replaced, chosen by the next president
