Either Hillary or Sanders will beat Trump in the general election. sanders wins by an even larger margin than Hillary vs Trump according to every poll.

women like guys who carry BIG DICKS
SO MUCH FOR THE NARRATIVE: More women voted Republican than Democratic on Super Tuesday.
Democrats are having a turnout problem in their 2016 primaries. Fewer voters came out to participate in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries than they did in 2008, when Barack Obama was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who is running again now). Conversely, turnout in many states was vastly higher for Republicans than it was in 2008, demonstrating an enthusiasm gap between the parties.
And despite the fact that a larger share of Democratic primary voters are women, more women voted in Republican primaries in many of the Super Tuesday states.
Virginia demonstrated this phenomenon the best, as Republican turnout was up 109 percent compared to 2008, while Democratic turnout was down 14 percent from 2008. This resulted in nearly 482,000 women voting in the Republican primary versus about 444,000 women voting in the Democratic primary.
The same occurred in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. In total, more than 4 million women voted in the Republican primaries on Tuesday, compared to just over 3.2 million voting in the Democratic primaries.

Jim Webb: I won't vote for Clinton, but I may for Trump
Former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton, but he hasn’t ruled out casting his ballot for Donald Trump.
Webb, who briefly flirted with an independent bid before deciding against it, said on Friday morning that the Democratic frontrunner wasn't inspirational.
Story Continued Below
"I would not vote for Hillary Clinton,” Webb said on MSBNC's "Morning Joe."
When asked if he'd vote for Trump, Webb said he wasn't closed to the idea. “I'm not sure yet. I don't know who I'm going to vote for,” he said.
He said that Clinton would simply continue President Barack Obama’s policies, but that with Trump, things would change — but he's not convinced it would be for the better.
“If you're voting for Donald Trump you may get something very good or very bad,” Webb said. “If you're voting for Hillary Clinton, you're going to be getting the same thing.”

Rubio said it was not all that impressive when it was whipped out at The Foam Party.

It's become very clear Trump is going to win Florida. Easily at least a 95% chance of it, in my opinion. Latest polls:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/
Wednesday, March 9
Race/Topic (Click to Sort) Poll Results Spread
Florida Republican Presidential Primary CNN/ORC Trump 40, Rubio 24, Cruz 19, Kasich 5 Trump +16
Florida Republican Presidential Primary UNF Trump 36, Rubio 24, Cruz 16, Kasich 9 Trump +12
Florida Republican Presidential Primary Quinnipiac Trump 45, Rubio 22, Cruz 18, Kasich 8 Trump +23
Rubio should immediately suspend his campaign, but he probably won't.

A lot of early voting in Florida has already taken place -- probably too many early votes in the bank for Cruz to make a run, even if Marco's supporters were flee to Alberta Ted, as seems to have happened in bulk these last few days. Rubio might as well stick it out, for the sake of those who have been working hard for him all this time.
But yeah, he's a walking corpse. Rubio is like that old joke about why the perfect dog food failed: "Because dogs don't like it." He came across as practically genetically engineered to be the ultimate Republican national candidate, which is how he got to be the "establishment" favorite in the first place (it certainly wasn't his policies, which aren't a whole lot different than what Cruz is selling more successfully). But voters just weren't buying it this year, just like they didn't buy JEB!

Well it is true anything could happen. And lets face it, if anytime between now and then involves terrorist the Dems may as well go home and wait for 2024.
Well the "Story" is that everybody left has been instructed to stay in to keep Trump from crossing the finish line. Do I believe it? Not really but as time marches on and Kasich refuses to leave one has to wonder.

I think this campaign might ruin Rubio forever.
He's severely damaged goods now.
He wasn't ready for this.
This thing called Trump has ruined a few political futures.
If I had a night like Rubio had last night, I'd never leave the house again.

I'd agree if Rubio had a shot n Fl but he's still nearly 20pnts behind Trump in the polls and the gap isn't closing.
At least Kasich is only single digits behind in Ohio.
Florida will be Rubio's greatest humiliation. And all for nothing.
Yes, he will be humiliated if he stays in. That's why he should suspend his campaign now. Live to fight another day. Maybe run for another office in Florida, maybe governor, in a couple of years without the stain of being defeated by Donald Trump in his home state as a sitting US Senator.

drumpf will NEVER be president. Write that in your little diary and bank on it.
If it comes down to Trump vs. Hillary he may.

No. In the Republican primaries you need a certain amount (not looking at my link right this second) to be the nominee. If you fail to get that amount then they have a contested convention and all bets are off. So every single person that stays in draws a little bit of Trump's thunder and increases the chances of that possibility.
So for really anybody not named Cruz (he really isn't too far behind to win if everything starts going his way and the legends are true that he and Rubio are splitting the sane vote) sticking around at this point is effectively taking one for the team. Do they care more about being a politician come their next election or do they care more about stopping Trump.
I stand by my statement. I don't predict a contested convention. It's been some sixty years since that happened. But all bets are sort of off.

My thinking that a contested convention was possible was based on the idea that Rubio would win an occasional state here and there. Instead, he seems likely to be out of the race in another week.
I still think Kasich will win Ohio, though less sure than I was a few days ago, because the bottom line is that nothing has really happened that might give his campaign a genuine boost. I don't know where he goes after Ohio. Possibly Pennsylvania, which is where he was born, but he's really low on funds.
Cruz's problem is that I don't see him being competitive in any more of the big states -- even if it gets down to a 2-person race, how does he beat Trump in the northeastern states or California, which is really all that's left after next Tuesday when it comes to big prizes? (Unless New Jerseyans decide to vote for Cruz to give a finger to Christie, which would be well-deserved and totally hilarious.) I'm assuming Trump will also win Illinois and North Carolina next week, and that's a whole lot more delegates.
So let's say Kasich and Rubio combine for about 350 delegates when it's all said and done (and unless Kasich does win Ohio, that will be too generous). This means Cruz would have to win something like 800 delegates on his own to have enough to deny Trump a first-ballot nomination. I don't think he can do that, unless something fundamentally changes the race, like Trump actually whipping it out one of these nights.
