Nicolle Wallace: Rubio’s ‘Strategy Was 3-2-1 ... Lose to Two People then Lose to One Person’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BRZEZINSKI: "He went after Ted Cruz for doing badly when he didn’t even lift the hammer. Seriously, he won one caucus."
SCARBOROUGH: "Ted Cruz won three states, exceeded expectations. This is just like last week Marco Rubio after Donald Trump beat him by 22 points said that Donald Trump under-performed. I mean, this is why people hate politics."
BRZEZINSKI: "Why are you looking so — like — you just tired?"
SCARBOROUGH: "Saying something everybody knows is not true."
WALLACE: "Well, I think Rubio’s done a masterful job of --"
SCARBOROUGH: "Of not telling the truth?"
WALLACE: "Managing expectations within his own orbit. It’s not transcending to the broader field but his strategy was 3-2-1, whose strategy is lose to two people then lose to one person? (Laughter) And I think he sort of acknowledged for the first time. I thought it was the first time the strategy is more to deprive Trump of the nomination — the campaign acknowledged it was a deprivation strategy not a victory strategy.
SCARBOROUGH: "The new strategy, somebody said on Twitter that the new strategy is 3-5-2-3-3-3-2-3-1.
BRZEZINSKI: "And Ted Cruz did badly. Whatever."
