The age of the
zeppelin died on a rainy day at Lakehurst, NJ nearly eighty years ago. Airships like
the Hindenburg were
widely considered the future of air travel, but the spectacular and highly
publicized disaster proved to be the death knell for this mode of air travel.
On April 13, 2015, Rubio announced that he would run for president
with the enthusiastic campaign slogan “A New American Century”. Rubio often touted that he and he alone was
the only candidate capable of beating Hillary Clinton in the general election.
The
establishment’s landslide choice to win the GOP nomination no longer seems
capable of even finishing in second place.
After Iowa, Sen. Rubio promised his supporters he would rocket to the
nomination on the strength of his 3-2-1 strategy.
The
“Future of the Republican Party” has been humiliated repeatedly in every
contest save Minnesota.
Insulting
the front-runner with juvenile broadsides about wetting his pants or suggesting
he was poorly endowed just didn’t cut the mustard with Republican voters and
now he’s been cornered into betting his political future on a first place
finish in Florida.
On
the eve of “Super Saturday” CNN
reported, “Ted Cruz is going for the kill shot.”
“Cruz's aides and allies are preparing an aggressive effort to keep Marco Rubio from winning his home state of Florida on March 15, a blow they hope would render Rubio's path to the GOP nomination unimaginable and force him to withdraw.”
“A Rubio loss, Cruz's orbit believes, would then set up the two-man race with Donald Trump they believe they are destined for—and absolutely need—to win.”
"’Florida's a burning dumpster fire for Marco Rubio,’ said Cruz spokesman Ron Nehring. ‘If he doesn't win his own state, it's hard to rationalize going forward.’"

Rubio’s
campaign is over. The senator still has
time to salvage a political career, but that won’t be the case if he hangs
around long enough to be embarrassed by Cruz or Trump in his home state of Florida.
