Exclusive–Jeb Bush: Marco Rubio Can’t Beat Ted Cruz, Donald Trump
Brietbart's Big Government ^ | January 18, 2016 | Matthew Boyle

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News exclusively that he is better suited than Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to take on GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) --in large part because Rubio has failed to stand firmly behind his open-borders positions, which Bush made clear are more leftist than his own.

"Marco's a friend but Americans are looking for a leader," Bush said in an exclusive email interview after the most recent debate in Charleston, South Carolina, when asked why he's better suited than Rubio to take on the two rabble-rousing conservatives Trump and Cruz running away with the election right now.

I agree...we need the GOPe to back Jeb again and get off of Rubio. We all know Jeb is a loser and no way can he beat Trump or Cruz.

Rubio though is a slick salesman...he could pull it off of Trump stumbles.

I saw an ad from Right to Rise for Yeb!

They portray Rubio as a weathervane going back and forth on amnesty.

The ending says Yeb! is steady.

Yeah, if steady for illegals is what you want.......
