Rubio’s endorsement, should he choose to proclaim one, would be extremely important. Rubio and Kasich are king-makers since they have the ability to push the republican race towards choosing either Trump or Cruz. Trump appears on his way to the nomination with his only serious competition Cruz nipping at his heels.
