Now that the election is all about voting for Trump or voting to stop Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if Kasich takes Ohio, and Cruz or Rubio takes Florida.
See op.

Rubio hasn't been over Trump in Florida since last July.

The dude is a loser who already bailed out of representing the state as a Senator and is an embarrassment either way.

Random thought: I bet Scott Walker is glad he got out when he did.
Haven't seen a single poll with Rubio up. What are your sources?

I imagine that he would be devastated to lose Florida, he should just spare himself the grief and leave before it is too late.
No. Florida law prevents a candidate to run on two different ballots (president and congress). Therefore, he went all in on being the president.
Excellent.

Trump already has it tied up with a bow. And Cruz would be an easy win for the Dems.

He's down like 10 points, I don't believe he can come back in a week. I'd imagine Trump has a sizable early voter lead too.

Interestingly, according to a recent poll, Rubio's killing it in early voting, 48% to 23% against Trump. Who knows how it's gonna shake out at the end. My mom already voted and hates Trump - I'm sure she'd be irked if her preferred candidate dropped out after she voted for him but before the day of the primary.

so those who want him to drop out early is just to have his measly 4% in Ohio jump to Kasich to stop Trump up there?
Rubio's career is pretty finito regardless

Pretty rough ad by Trump on Rubio https://youtu.be/_pvirKqHy1g
Good ad. Though its a response to Rubio's anti-Trump ads.

This. I don't want any of the candidates to think they have a shot to the White House with the current views they have.
This is the reason I'm not bothered by a Drumpf nomination, he'd destroy the chances of a GOP presidency for a long time, forcing them to reform.

Couple of polls came out today with him only single digits from Trump. I wish Florida was tomorrow. Trump's lead is showing fissures.

Odd. I don't see anything about this at Mr. Rubio's website (that's marcorubio.com).
If Rubio drops out, it'll be interesting to see where his support goes. Kasich might see a boost, but I fear with less candidates the winner will inevitably be Cruz.
I'd campaign for Trump if it was Cruz/Trump for the presidency. Nasty man who would set the country back decades.

Why would internal discussions be on there?

I don't see anything on Mr Trump's website either at https://www.donaldjtrump.com
The more appropriate question is, where are YOU getting your info.
The sample is only 75 voters. It's not worth much honestly.
I'M SUPER nervous about florida and I'm praying every day for Donald to win. I pray every day, every night, every afternoon, and it's so true.

Too many folks from other states encouraging Rubio to drop out. Who cares about this guy's future anyway? An empty suit neocon, with the worse voting record in the Senate.
He should burn by staying and getting slayed. At the very least it'll show he didn't rat out like a weakling.
In my book, anything that gives my state a higher change of getting rid of him is good. The country will be better for it if he gets destroyed - his seat might be the balance between minority and majority in the Senate. Not to mention, if he keeps his Senate seat I can see him try out running for the Governors seat....hell NO!
He should stay. Stay little Marco, STAY!!!
Looking at probabilities even from a GOP implosion pov, him staying is better. If he somehow miraculously wins Florida, contested convention is almost a lock aka CHAOS aka higher chance of Dem winning the presidency aka higher change of retaking the Senate aka higher change of dealing even worse long-term damage to the GOP brand.

As far as Rubio is concerned, Florida is a mess

His odd on winning FL is 1:4. He basically has no chance of winning.

Already seeing (very irritating) adds for Rubio dominating the airwaves down here. Mostly superpac'd.
In South Florida by the way.

Not really sure if Rubio's votes would go to Cruz. I think Trump would take some of them, yes.
Trump is just for show. Cruz/mrubio are evil.
They are all pandering to the worst ameirca has to offer though. All of them.
Exactly. Stay in, so the entire state can laugh you out of your political career, Marcosoft.
Trump and Cruz are the crazy stupid people vote. Weirdly Rubio and Kasich are the "sensible" vote. Time for RNC to admit it burned dinner and start again.

If he were wise he'd drop out and make a handshake agreement with Cruz to be on his potential ticket. But he seems too proud to do that.
It's not worth the rise of the Trumpeteers.
I'd rather have the neocons than the Tea Party hanging in as number.

If Rubio drops out before March 15 it's a given he'll endorse Cruz and he'd win isn't it? If only Trump hadn't been such a goddamn bully towards him he might've been able to pull some Rubio votes but as it stands now I'm guessing Cruz is praying for a Rubio now and Trump to Robio staying.
