Rubio: Majority of Voters Don’t Want Trump To Be the Nominee

‘Nevada results are always a little different from what you see in other parts of the country’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

KILMEADE: “What's your take on these numbers? In second, got to feel good, but a distance from first. It's got to make you scratch your head.”

RUBIO: “Well, a couple of things. First of all Nevada results are different from what you see in other parts of the country. Their caucus system is different from Iowa’s. Last time, Mitt Romney got over 50%, so Donald Trump underperformed what Mitt Romney did, not once but twice in this state. Look, I have been saying this for a long time now. This is an unusual election. Throw out everything you know about presidential politics because this year is very different. It's been proven week after week. Right now what you have is a situation where Donald -- the majority of the electorate, the majority of republican voters do not want trump to nominee. the problem is that they're divided up among four people. At some point in South Carolina it was five people and before that seven people. Until that's consolidation you don't have a clear alternative to Donald Trump and the argument we have made, I’m as conservative as everyone in this race, but I can unify the republican party. You have seen wit the number of people that weren't with me initially. A lot of the establishment people didn't want me to run. a lot went with Jeb or whoever but they're starting to consolidate across the spectrum with if understanding if we don't come together we're never going to be able to provide a clear alternative to the direction that Donald Trump wants to take the republican party and the country.”
