“This is the moment they said would never happen”, Rubio told supporters Monday evening.
Cruz, after his first campaign stop Tuesday in Windham, referred to himself as a Ronald Reagan conservative as he reminded reporters of New Hampshire’s support for Reagan in 1980. That’s on top of a tidal wave of millions of dollars of mail to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire opposing Rubio, Kasich and Christie – sometimes all three at once, expenses documented in Federal Election Commission reports. “Is there something in their past that would suggest they have the capability of making a tough decision?” “It’s not like he’s going home, he’s stopping back for 12 hours”, campaign spokesperson Mike Nason told The New York Times.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley also suspended his campaign last night, leaving Sanders and Clinton to fight it out for the Democratic nomination. “Saying it doesn’t make it so”. “Whether we lose by a fraction of a point or we win or whatever, we are very proud of the campaign that we won”.

John Kasich – and Rubio hasn’t even been ahead of the pack. “He probably has the money to keep going on past New Hampshire, but there’s going to be a lot of Republicans ready for him to get out if he doesn’t show much”. Eventually, his backers concede, Rubio would have to win a state to emerge as the nominee. Rubio’s recent surge in the Iowa polls supports this argument, but his final numbers were even higher than the polls predicted.
