More Marco Rubio drop-out rumors:
Many Rubio advisers are torn, fearing an embarrassing loss in Florida could undercut Rubio in the future but equally fearful of the ramifications of quitting.
It was unclear if Rubio was personally considering quitting, but advisers say his entire inner circle was forced into some tough conversations about the path forward and whether to continue.
Rubio’s campaign is denying the rumors, again.
Note that this only claims “Marco is the only candidate who can stop Trump in Florida.” In other words, Rubio is not much of a roadblock anywhere else at this point, but the value of winning Florida is high enough to risk the humiliation of losing in Florida. To say nothing of the humiliation of spending the next week denying rumors that you’re going to call it quits.
