Florida Sun-Sentinel: Why we can't endorse Trump, Rubio, Cruz or Kasich

[book_worm]

The Sun Sentinel Editorial Board is not going to make an endorsement in Florida's March 15 Republican presidential primary because the kind of person who should be running is not in the race.

We cannot endorse businessman Donald Trump, hometown Sen. Marco Rubio or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz because they are unqualified to be president. Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the best of the bunch, but if you measure a candidate by the caliber of his campaign, Kasich's lack of traction and organization make a vote for him count for little.

Trump: "But if you believe Trump doesn't really mean everything he says, then you believe he is fooling everyone. So you're buying a pig in a poke."

Rubio: "Because Rubio has failed to do his job as a senator, broken the promises he made to Floridians and backed away from his lone signature piece of legislation on immigration, we cannot endorse him for president.

Cruz: "Cruz scares us. He also should scare Republicans who want to win in November. Cruz has not earned your vote."

Kasich: "But while Kasich is the most qualified of the four candidates left standing, he lacks presidential presence. And he doesn't have a chance of winning because the Republican base is in rebellion and he got out of the gate too late to build a viable campaign organization."
