Yeah at his point, it’s a three man race. Rubio clearly established himself as the establishment’s guy on Monday and I think it stays that way.

Yeah Rubio’s finish was a killer, especially for Cruz. Cruz’s path to the nomination looked a lot clearer with the Super Tuesday “Southern Primary” ahead with its evangelicals. Now Rubio looks like an alternative in those areas.

Yeah I know it always sounds silly to talk about “winners” who finish third. But Iowa, particularly on the GOP side, is proving to be somewhat of an outlier the past few cycles. Respectable finishes there are often all that is needed for some candidates.
