For the second place it can be expected to change as Cruz was leading Rubio so it will be too early to say. Currently: Trump 33.4% ..... :eusa_danc Rubio 22.0% Cruz: 21.0% Bush: 12.0% Kasich: 7.4% Carson 6.0% Trump has also just been projected as the likely Republican nominee - having won NH and SC (projected win for SC with 3k vote lead over Rubio)
Rubio over Cruz for 2nd is very intriguing. If he can kick out Bush and Kasich he will easily overtake Cruz and Trump, imo. The majority of Republican voters think they're too far right to win the general election (and I agree - which is why I'll be rooting for them to get the Republican nomination).
Bush is in 5th now. Kasich 8.6% Bush 8.4% Rubio and Cruz are replacing each other - Rubio is now again in 2nd. Trump is the big winner tonight from incoming votes (approximately 20k vote lead over Rubio atm)
Thing is Rubio's every bit as far right as the other two, the only difference is he's the establishment's chosen one.
Yea, I'm more scared of Rubio than Trump. Cruz is probably the most conservative candidate one could possibly come up with. His views aren't just conservative, they are downright scary. He makes Trump look like a moderate. Problem is Rubio is more electable, and he would probably win against Clinton (maybe not Sanders).
Problem is all the extreme crap he's spouted to try and win the primary will bite Rubio in the backside come the general. He's going to have to stand up in a debate and defend throwing everyone who isn't a straight, white, conservative Christian man under the bus just to appease some fundamentalists, it's the mother of open goals. This is also a problem for Ted and Trump, even if Trump thinks he can bully his way out of it and Ted thinks he can "oh gosh darn shucks, I'm God's chosen candidate" his way out of it.

I'm not right wing in the slightest, but the Republicans should be backing Rubio. I don't get why they are taking Cruz and Trump over him, Rubio is extremely electable and I would say probably win the presidency by a landslide regardless of who he runs against. I don't much care for him, but he is an absolutely incredible speaker and would easily beat Hilary. I feel the establishment is too far against Sanders for him to get the Democratic nomination, but even if he did I'm not sure he would win against Rubio. I suppose I don't want him to get the nomination because I'm still hoping Sanders will get elected, but honestly I almost dislike Hilary more than Rubio, so I don't really care much otherwise.
Kasich is holding out for the Midwest to vote, as he believes he'll have a chance of winning delegates in the many flyover states that will give him a pathway to the nomination. When it comes to the results, I can't say I'm surprised. I'm just very eery of all of these conservatives voting for Trump, and while I still think he cannot win, if he does, my plan of action turns to finishing my bachelor's degrees and moving to Canada.
