Weird News From The Primaries.

++Rubio barely ahead of Ben Carson in Mississippi.

++Rubio held a rally in Miami where he said that the winner of the Florida Primary will be the next president. I guess. Trump or Hillary.

++Andy Bean, a Trump surrogate, floated out the idea of a Trump-Kasich ticket because of Kasich's strong second in Michigan.

++Steven Schmidt, McCain's campaign strategist, said that Rubio is living in a fantastical land where winning the Florida primary and nothing else would gain then nomination.

++The National Review writes tonight that the GOP should stop Trump at the convention. 

++Forget the stories about how the GOP base is turning against Trump. Millions of SuperPac money if flooding into anti-Trump ads. This has had the effect of dampening his support but not by much.

++The Romney strategy sort of sucked. Vote for Kasich in Michigan and anyone else who could win in other states. Romney has done robocalls for Rubio in Florida,Cruz in Mississippi, and Kasich in Ohio.

++You can't wake up now and decide Trump is a threat. By the 15th it will be all over but the shouting. Trump-Kasich sounds real. Kasich has not attacked the Donald and is probably more of an establishment Republican than Rubio.

++Stu Rothenberg in the Hill writes that if Trump or Cruz wins the nomination, the Senate goes Democrat. Democrats only need 4 seats if they win the Presidency and North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri and Arizona may come in play.
