Tweety is such a frontrunner it's hard to know. I also noticed he completely ignored Sanders until Chris Hayes brought him up. A window into his Beltway soul. He couldn't say enough about the guy who came in 3rd in the GOP race and couldn't be bothered with the D co-winner of the night because, at the end of the day, like the rest of the DC Establishment, he still doesn't take him seriously.

But I there's two obvious points here.

Rubio is now the GOP establishment front runner, which will likely now make him the defacto favorite for the nomination.

Rubio is also a sneaky fucking chameleon.

We are going to have to hit him and hit him hard. I still think he's got a lot of skeletons that will sink him, and I don't think his heart is really into it. But he's dangerous.

Someone always comes out of there mortally wounded. If Rubio comes out of there in one piece he could well be the nominee.
