Un extrait du premier article:
Rubio’s third-place finish, top party officials, donors and strategists said on Tuesday, positioned him to take the establishment mantle and win over Republican leaders who are eager to coalesce around a single candidate and halt insurgents Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. His foes, conceding that time was growing short to demonstrate strength, spent the day in private strategy sessions where they plotted how to prevent powerful supporters from bolting.
“Marco Rubio controls his own destiny for the first time in this campaign,” said Josh Holmes, a former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “If he performs in New Hampshire, it is very difficult to see how his campaign won’t quickly consolidate a lot of support.”
Un extrait du second:
The reluctance means that Republicans who’ve been clamoring for a consensus candidate to take on Cruz or Donald Trump will have to wait a little longer — probably at least until after New Hampshire, where Rubio needs to elbow aside the likes of Chris Christie, Bush and Kasich to maintain his momentum.
The prolonged establishment candidate pileup “could be problematic,” said Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), a Bush supporter who could bring political heft to Rubio in Nevada. But “I don’t think at this point Rubio has a claim for” support from the bulk of the Senate GOP caucus.
“In other words, he did well yesterday, and I certainly think he did a great job yesterday — but let’s see what happens in New Hampshire,” Heller said. “If Rubio does as well in New Hampshire, then I think there will be new discussions.”"
