10. Rubio is really in a tough position on this and it is telling that his first answer violation of law

The answer lets him move both ways. If it appears that Trump can either dispute this or somehow get Floridians to say it is not disqualifying, I would bet that this will be the last we hear on this from Rubio.

If, however, it is as strongly resourced as it appears and this plays as badly in Florida as one might suspect, Rubio will have a hard decision as to what hurts him more -- sticking with the nominee of his party or acting as though it is an act of principle to call him on this. It will be interesting as today's PPP polling (after the debate, but before this) showed Trump losing Florida and Rubio winning.

His opponent has the easy answer - Trump may have broken the law. For Rubio, the boycott has long been something that he has demonized on.
