I’ll give Rubio this. This morning’s stump speeches are a different Rubio, a whole new operating system, harsher, funnier, freer. The one we’re listening to now is identical to the stump speech this morning. But okay, that’s a stump speech. The thing is, I don’t think it’s enough. He’s already defined. Trump is too far ahead. Contrary to what almost everyone said last night, Trump did very well. And Tuesday is the big windfall of delegates. The Christie endorsement didn’t change the tide. It just cemented it. Another punch to the face for Rubio when he could least afford it.
