OT: South Carolina Head Coach Will Muschamp Endorses Marco Rubio

[wolfcon087]

Will Muschamp just endorsed Marco Rubio in the 2016 GOP primary.

Muschamp was impressed with Marco's multiple third place finishes and how he squeezed out a second place finish.

"Marco celebrates mediocrity better than anyone else in this race." Muschamp said.

No Trump for the Chump?

after giving it much thought Rubio has decided not to accept this endorsement

 

[g8rhoo]

Rubi came in 5th, not third NH

 

[wolfcon087]

Even better! See how well he celebrates mediocrity? Make America mediocre again!

 

[wolfcon087]

Thanks for the #factcheck

Do you think if elected Bernie will redistribute Muschamps severance back to UF?

Rubio isn't far behind Trump in the betting markets. And Rubio beats Hillary in pretty much every poll.

sterns, I just dont believe, and this is persona feeling, that Rubio is good for America. From what I can see, there isn't a candidate still running, dem. or rep. that I can get enthusiastic about. Then, that's just me.By the way, I dont usually discuss politics or religion because they are both extremely volatile.

Rubio isn't beating anyone. It's going to be Trump, which is terrible, and then Cruz because of the bible belt and libertarians (even though they shouldn't). Really wish America would get their head out of their rump and quit following whatever the party lines tout as their favorite. Rand should still be in this race,

I agree with your political choices but this analysis isn't correct. Cruz has no lane whatsoever. Cruz is at 2% percent in the betting markets. Trump and Rubio are both in the 40s. The betting markets are the best indicators that we have.

We'll see. Rubio won't win much or finish in the top 2 outside of the SE. Seeing as even SC was a .2 difference, looks like there will be a good shot at them splitting the SE. With Bush dropping out, Rubio should win Florida but don't see anything else past that.

SC should have been a great state for Cruz but he still finished 3rd. Minnesota, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia are pretty good states for Rubio on Super Tuesday. Rubio doesn't really need to win any states as long as it's a 3 way race and Trump is getting low 30s. Trump just can't win the winner take all states of Florida and Ohio. Rubio just needs to keep placing high until Cruz drops out. Rubio beats Trump handily head to head. Trump is slight favorite but it's for sure not a lock.

Again, we'll see. Pretty sure betting indicators had Rudy and Romney favored throughout the 2008 primaries, look how they turned out. Rubio will have to do MUCH better in debates if he wants to push for a legitimate shot.

 

[wolfcon087]

It's so funny those who say Rubio doesn't need to win states. Classic Muschamp mentality. That's why he snagged that huge endorsement!

 

[goldmom]

What's overlooked constantly is that in all of these contests, roughly 65% of Republican voters choose someone other than Trump.
The general election could have the same result. That's why Hillary keeps smiling.

True, but Republicans will most definitely show up to vote, and will never vote for Hilary. If a third party runs then that's when Trump should be worried.

 

[Uniformed_ReRe]

I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of the "People Who Hate Hillary" demographic are already supporting Trump.

 

[EvilWayz]

If a third party runs, just go ahead and start buying ammo. Hillary will be a lock. See Ross Perot.

 

[CompuGator]

You mean like in 2012, when Republican-registered voters showed up in a decisively lesser proportion to Demo-registered voters, in a failure-by-cluelessness about elections? That disproportionate absence of Republican voters, which operationally gave reelection to Obama!? And unwittingly discarded the opportunity provided by black Demo-registered voters, of whom only the seniors showed up in 2012 in the same or greater proportion as they did in 2008? Uh, huh!

 

[CompuGator]

Silly person! More realistically, if there is an apparently viable "third party" in the race, its candidate will be Trump, who can afford to indulge himself. Before the Iowa Caucus, he set himself up for a separate run, by making an issue of his concern over--what was the wording exactly?--his mistreatment(?) by the Republican Party.

If the Republican voters continue down this absurd path and actually nominate Trump, they will be handing the election to the Dems. Voters like myself, who would never vote for a Democrat, but demand some substance, intelligence, and character in our candidate also will not vote for Trump. I, and many like me, will either stay home or go 3rd party as a protest vote. If the Reps could just avoid their lunatic fringe and stay away from candidates like Palin and Trump, they wouldn't scare so many potential voters away. There is no way Dems should own the educated voter block, but they certainly will if Trump gets through. The whole thing sickens me.

I don't disagree at all....but at the same time, how can voters not see that Hillary is worse than anything else?

That's where I see it, and what I hear from the large majority of conservatives across the SE.

Because Trump is even more disliked than Hillary, he is actually the only Republican left that is more disliked than her by the general populace. Also, while it's obviously a small sample size and purely anecdotal, the vast majority of my acquaintances are strongly fiscally conservative, and not one of them will vote for Trump in the general. He is dead-man walking with the educated class and moderates. It would push me, who SHOULD be a slam dunk Republican voter, to go Libertarian for the 2nd time in 3 elections after the Palin fiasco.

[GatorAndLFC]

I've heard different from the ones I know and I'm in southeast GA.....but I'm not a Republican by any means so it doesn't bother me too much. Libertarian would be the closest if I had to pinpoint a party line, though I've never voted Democrat.....abortion stance automatically kicks them out for me.

 

[goldmom]

Hillary = three SCJ's.
Trump = three SCJ's.

Figure it out.

I will hold my nose and cry but I will vote for the Republican nominee.

And this is why the Dems always win....there are so many Trump supporters who are out if he is out....so many Cruz and Rubio supporters say they will never vote for Trump. There are so-called loyal Republicans in this state, like Paula Dockery and Mike Fasano who constantly bash Rubio and Scott, but barely ever peep a word against Obama and Hillary. On the other hand, Dems NEVER do this, and I can bet you every damn one of Bernie's supporters WILL vote for Hillary when it comes down to it. If the Republican party had any sense of organization and knew how to stick together and fight, and win battles, Trump would not even be an issue. And for those who say he is losing in polling against Hillary, well no shit, the GOP establishment has been trying to tear him to shreds going on a year now. This is why the (R) is such a mess. They put up weak ass candidates like Romney and McCain who refused to go to battle with the leftists, and they lost miserably. They then won huge numbers in the House and Senate based on promises of being more conservative, on reducing the size of govt, on fighting Obamacare, fighting amnesty, and they have done almost NOTHING. Rubio himself was heralded as a "tea party" candidate, a member of the new guard, sent to reform the GOP, but he ends up being another establishment guy toeing the line, even going so far as to push a amnesty bill. I am not a Trump guy, I think he is goofy, and not a conservative, but his success is a product of the dysfunctional (R)s, he is a product of the regular folks who are fed up not being heard by the elites, he is filling the void that the GOP should have been filling this whole time. I will vote for the rude ass Trump any day over the disgusting liar scandalous coat tail rider Hillary...after two terms of Dear Leader, we can afford any more of the same. It may "feel" good to not vote for Trump, but it sure as hell doesn't do any good to let Hillary win.

Lots of different flavors of socialism....but the Dems are far left now, and much more like socialists than different.

Go look up the platforms for the Socialist party of America, or the Communist party of America, and tell me where Obama, Hillary and the rest are in strong disagreement.

 

[BringBackBonner]

DJ, I obviously respect your opinion, but I'm not so sure I would vote for Trump over Hillary if I had a gun to my head and forced to vote for one of them. I think he is an awful human being, at least as bad as Hillary in that respect, and since his positions are so poorly articulated and explained, I can't even be sure his politics are close to mine. I also think WW3 is more likely with him shooting off his mouth than any other candidate I can remember. Let me be clear, though, I detest Hillary, but Trump disgusts and terrifies me.

I understand the sentiment, I still do not possibly see how a continuation of the Obama presidency under Hillary could even be a reasonable consideration...the policies they have already taken have been moving us to the brink already. I look around and see so many people that I consider to be very smart and truly conservative supporting Trump...it is a very interesting election.

If you don't think they're socialists and borderline communists, then you are likely pretty young. Naïve and young.

I align totally with Dj as far as my sentiments and frustrations, but I support Rubio over Cruz, who voters outside of Texas and Oklahoma do not like. Evangelicals were supposed to be Ted's crew, but they are voting for the adulterer Trump, who has not disavowed Planned Parenthood. That says a lot to me. Cruz is not a guy who gives warm fuzzies to anyone.

The nomination is Trump's and if the back room weasels like Priebus try to steal it at the convention, they should at least have the balls to come out and say we concede this election to the Dems right here and right now, because this country will be in total turmoil. The elephant will be dead.
They ought to cut Donald loose and all the folks who are upset with the previous candidates who still believe in Marquis of Queensbury Rules (unlike the Dems who laugh at the thought) will finally see the Republican nominee get in her face. Now, can she try the gender card like she did when she ran for the Senate? Sure. Millenial women have already shown they aren't buying it. Women should be considered for the highest office in the land and it will happen. Does that mean an inferior candidate who happens to have the right plumbing should be elected on that basis alone? NO WAY.

Hillary is dangerous. She is a liar, she is corrupt, she has sold influence under the guise of the Clinton Foundation and she should be indicted. She must not be allowed to nominate as many as 3 judges to the SCOTUS. She is a disaster for our country.

And it won't just be conceding the Presidential election, but many Senate and House seats as well.

I am not dumb, I can see the faults of Trump, and I am uncertain what he will actually do, but I KNOW exactly what Hillary will do, and that is continue the leftist demolition of everything this country was built upon, and it will be done to the sounds of applause, and be called something like "fairness", "justice" and "fundamental transformation."
