Republican pollster Frank Luntz said Wednesday that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio would be leading Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by eight points if he was the Republican presidential nominee.

In addition, he told Yahoo Global News anchor Katie Couric that Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who battled for the GOP nomination during the primary season, would be besting Clinton by 12 points. He said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who also fought hard against Trump but ultimately endorsed him, would be “dead even” with the former secretary of state right now....

I don't know how accurate Luntz is, but some interesting thoughts.

I doubt it...they would have tried to destroy Rubio too..that is their MO

If they can demonize Mitt I can only imagine what they would do to Marco.

imagine a Rubio / Fiorina ticket. Or any other number of combinations that would have better than Trump.

I think Cruz would be up some, too.

They were pretty thoroughly debunked.

That bogus debunked story again?   Jeeeze, I though we moved past that one long long ago on this forum.

At least tRump wouldn't have called Rubio a pedophile. He already used that slander on Dr. Carson.

No end to the vile commentary available to tRump to hurl at any and all opponents.

Faux Newser,  Lou Doobs now going after the conservative from Utah.   Sickening.

You know, that'd probably increase crossover votes from Democrats *FOR* Rubio.

I wasn't aware that it was debunked.  I'm not saying that it was him, just that it was a story that I had heard, I'm sorry that my post appeared to be touting a not true story.

Thanks for the mindless sophistry Frank. Let me add that if Reagan was running he would be 50 to 60 points ahead and if Abraham Lincoln was running he would be 30 to 40 points ahead.

They try to destroy all Pubbie candidates. They've been doing that more than half a century. I remember the Goldwater campaign. Goldwater probably never had a chance after the Kennedy assassination and the sympathy vote.
But nevertheless, he received an avalanche of hate from the media who tried to convince Americans Barry wanted to blow up the world his first day in office.
Rubio was not my first choice. But he carries none of the personal baggage of Trump, and that is not a small thing. He's younger, a lot more physically attractive than Trump, a lot smarter, and clearly not crazy.
Too late now.

How about Ted, Frank? How would he be doing right now?

If Cruz isn't up, it is ONLY because team Trump worked so hard to besmirch the character of this good conservative, since he was the primary threat to Trump.

Without Trump, we'd all be looking fondly on Cruz and laughing at the Clinton Crash.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Except that Rubion and Kasich BEGAN the primary season polling way ahead of Hillary, and Trump polling way behind her.

Rubio, Kasich and even Jeb would be ahead double digits by now.

Trump wasn't destroyed by the Clintons or the MSM.

Trump was destroyed by his mouth, his ego, and his immaturity.

Right now a GOPe pick, is sounding far more favorable than the two NY Liberal picks we have now.

Well, then Fox News should've shoved a GOPe stooge down our throats during the primaries instead.

They are primarily responsible for Trump, IMO.

No biggie.  It was one of those ugly TOS-type rumors.
