Marco Rubio's people talked yesterday morning about their need to stay on message, and how Sen. Cruz remained their focus in building this towards a two-man race between Rubio and Trump. Pundits scratched their head. Rubio supporters shook their head. And then...
Several years ago I penned a piece on then Presidential candidate, Ron Paul, someone who had no chance at the time of being President, but who had captured the affections of far too many discerning people. I know my article could have never swayed...

Last night's Fox Business debate very likely did not do much to change the minds of anyone who entered the fray a devoted Trumpian (they still are one today), a Cruz devotee (still one today), or a Rubio enthusiast (likewise). But with that said, some very...
