For Marco Rubio to get higher up the ladder he has to convince some of the conventional candidates to stop climbing. In this election cycle those conventional candidates must become one sooner then later if they are to mount any strong attack against the non-conventional candidates. Negotiations should begin to convince those on the lower level that it is in their best interest to leave now before they do further harm to their image and to the chances of serving in such an administration. Once those at the lower level decide to drop out it will be easier to convince the Kasich’s and even Bush’s that their time has passed as well. The longer this takes to occur the better chance that they all will be trumped. Climbing off a ladder is usually easy except if you’re ego is bigger then the reality below.
