Krauthammer: Rubio May Sneak Ahead if Trump & Cruz Keep Sniping at Each Other

Trump ‘can’t admit to coming in second ... because if he loses anything, the Earth wobbles off its axis’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: "He came in second although he now says he actually probably came in first. And he says now he lives another day in New Hampshire." 
KRAUTHAMMER: "The reason he can't admit to coming in second is because if he loses anything, the Earth wobbles off its axis, there's sort of a -- The Force is injured if that happens, so he can't accept that. I do disagree slightly with Jonah. I don't think the reason he insists right now with the tweeting and the attacks and the attention coming back to him for electoral strategic reasons. I think it is just a psychological need. Speaking, you know, as a layman there. But the one thing I will say, as to the effect: I think this has a weird effect of helping Rubio. This is the scenario where the top two dogs, the two coming out of Iowa, the two dominating the national polls, they attack each other. They each are somewhat diminished by it. And then Rubio just kind of sneaks in there. It has happened in Iowa in 2004 with the Democrats. In some way you could say it happened in Iowa this time around with Rubio unexpectedly rising. So I think he gets the benefit. It is probably a minor one. But this doesn't help Trump either way."
