Who will be the Republican nominee for President? I don't know, but I'll tell you this: I have been involved in GOP politics for awhile (though I am not currently active), and I know a lot of Republicans, and a large majority of Republicans oppose the current "top three" in the latest poll (Trump, Cruz, and Carson). They don't just favor someone else, they are against them being the nominee.
I know a few people who want Trump, a bunch of people who like Carson (and a few who want him to be President), and a larger number who want Cruz. But most Republicans I know think Carson and Trump are not qualified, and simply dislike Cruz, or find him to be untrustworthy.
That's never happened before. Granted, in other polls, Rubio is in the top three, and on average he may be in the top three. But almost none of the Republicans I know would reject him as a candidate, unlike the other three candidates. It's just remarkable how unpopular these "top three" candidates are, among the Republicans I've talked to.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
