"But endorsements do not equal delegates. And it’s not yet clear if and where Rubio can win at the start of next month, either. Trump even leads in Rubio’s home state of Florida, which hosts a key winner-take-all primary on March 15. John Kasich is pledging to stay on through the Midwest primaries, denying Rubio’s campaign the chance to truly consolidate the establishment wing. Ben Carson isn’t dropping out either, and his continued presence in the race pulls mostly from Cruz, but also from Rubio.
Even party elders are seeing the rocky road ahead for anyone not named Trump. Onetime GOP nominee and former Sen. Bob Dole announced his support for Rubio on Monday after having backed Bush. But if Trump sweeps Super Tuesday, Dole told ABC news, "that's going to be hard to deny him the nomination. And if reality sets in and he's gonna start counting enough delegates, we've got to hope he'll be a good president."
