The Rubio proxy I heard on NPR this morning was still going with the "it all starts with a big win in Florida*" line. He also trotted out the scare number that Trump has to win 60% of the remaining delegates to get a majority, while conveniently forgetting that WTA states start with March 15th, and the whole GOP primary calendar is set up to let the guy with momentum get crowned in the 2nd half of the race.
*Nevermind he's behind Trump by 20 points in Florida.

Given that Mr. Contested Convention is still the odds-on favorite, I personally think it would be silly for any of the four remaining candidates to drop out, unless they literally have no money left. There's still 5 months until July. Build a story, grab a state or two, etc... and then hope you're in the running for the second convention vote.
