New Hampshire and the Impending Collapse of the “Establishment” Candidates
It is less than a month before the New Hampshire primary, where Cruz hopes to be able to knock Rubio out of the race:
“I don’t know where anywhere else Kasich is going to do well. I think Christie has a short half-life,” said former New Hampshire House Speaker Bill O’Brien, a Cruz co-chairman here. “Rubio, on the other hand, could stay around for a while — but I don’t think he’s going to.”
Some of Rubio’s top supporters acknowledge the Florida senator needs to win the establishment free-for-all here.
