They are too wounded to know what is next.

As for the nickname of “Little Marco” that Rubio has picked up in the past few weeks from former opponent Donald Trump, “Yes he can shake it that’s just the kind of insult that gets tossed off in the heat of the political furor, one moment and it’s forgotten over time”, added March. I’m not interested in being Vice President. “All of the rest of the candidates are seriously flawed”.
Marco Rubio on Thursday ruled out running for governor in 2018, ending any speculation he would jump at the next big opportunity.
Kasich and Ted Cruz pulled out of Monday’s GOP debate after Trump announced he’s skipping it.
Rather than committing, many are just staying out of the discussion all together.
And on Tuesday, his home state couldn’t save him from the dominant force that is Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Charlotte County Republican John Sawyer III, has filed to challenge Rooney in a district that includes Central Florida citrus areas from Polk County south to Lake Okeechobee.
“For the moment, I’m staying on the sidelines…”
Clinton is already eyeing the general election.
“Mr. Kasich could be either the hero or potentially the spoiler here”, the Arizona congressman said, “and I think he’s a man of conscience and I hope he would consider the best for America and the coming generations and recognize all that is stake here”.
With at least this week’s additional states in his win column, Trump is now the only candidate with a path to clinching the Republican nomination before the party’s convention in July.
Despite that plea from his boss, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, a Miami Republican, isn’t joining the Trump bandwagon. The Florida senator had vowed before the results came in to press on no matter what, but the magnitude of the loss forced him to acknowledge he was not on the “winning side” this year.
And Kasich delegate Mike Gonidakis, says he’s ready for a contested convention – saying that wrangling up delegate support inside Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena will be a transparent process. “Over the next 10 months, we are going to work really hard here and we have some things we want to achieve and then i’ll be a private citizen”. Rubio said he was hopeful that there’s still time to prevent a Trump nomination, which would seriously divide the party and damage the conservative movement.

That Cruz, the US senator from Texas, would emerge as the anti-Trump standard-bearer is hardly surprising at this point: He has amassed more delegates – and survived longer – than any other non-Trump candidate.
