Gingrich: Jeb and Rubio Combined Can’t Get as Many Votes as Trump in Fla.

‘The more he [Marco Rubio] is endorsed by the establishment, the more he becomes what people have been voting against’

DOOCY: “If we’re going to do some Monday morning quarterbacking in talking about politics, we should bring in somebody who knows something about it. Look at that, the former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Good morning to you, sir.”
GINGRICH: “I’m good. And how are you doing?”
DOOCY: “Doing OK. What do you make of South Carolina? Donald Trump won by ten.”
GINGRICH: “Well, I think it’s the size victory he had to have. He got it despite doing a whole range of things I thought were really not going to work — including picking a fight with George W. Bush, who’s very popular as a person, but clearly not as popular in terms of his policies. Trump is now far and away the front-runner. He has vastly more delegates than everybody else combined. And I think the real crisis which is a couple weeks down the road, can Rubio win Florida? Right now Trump is winning Florida. How well does Cruz do in Texas? Right now he and Trump are pretty closely waged campaign. So, Trump is a national player, and he’s strong everywhere. We’ll find out tomorrow night just how strong in Nevada.”
KILMEADE: “Does he close the gap in Florida with Jeb Bush’s supporters? And do you think Jeb has to go out and anoint Rubio for that to happen?”
GINGRICH: “Well, I think even if Jeb goes out and anoints him, I think there is — here’s the challenge for Marco who is a terrifically bright guy and has a great future — the more he is endorsed by the establishment —“
KILMEADE: “Yeah.”
GINGRICH: “— the more he becomes what people have been voting against. And in Florida, there’s no evidence that Rubio and Bush combined get as many votes as Trump.”
