Rubio the New GOP Establishment Candidate

Democrats and the GOP Establishment have lost control of the political process. They can’t count on the mainstream media to do their bidding because of the rise of alternative media.

There’s also the problem of conservative Republicans pushing back, not apologizing for their views, and not being able to control elections. As the Kentucky governor’s race showed, Republicans win big if they stick to issues the conservative base supports: pro-life, anti-same-sex marriage, and Tenth Amendment principles. Matt Bevin has said he will tell the EPA to “pound sound” if the agency rules against Kentucky’s coal industry.

"The powers not given to the Federal government are the province of the States," Bevin has said. "These cases always come down on the side of the States. Never in the history of the world, has there been such a demand for coal, and Kentucky is sitting on an abundance of it. We will tell the EPA and other unelected officials -- who have no authority over Kentucky as a state -- to 'pound sand.' They have no legal authority and all they can do is sue; and in the meantime, Kentucky will do what it wants."

The GOP Establishment doesn’t like these trends. They like Big Government as much as Democrats. The only difference is in the beneficiaries of Big Government. They will fight tooth and nail to get one of their guys in the White House. Some have theorized that these Republicans would rather have Hillary Clinton as President than Ted Cruz because they could work with Mrs. Clinton in a quid pro quo relationship. She and her fellow-Democrats would get their money train, and the Republicans would get theirs.

So it’s not surprising that Republican Senators have dumped Jeb Bush for Marco Rubio

Bravo Mr. Bevin!!

Marco Rubio is their Boy Wonder, shiny, polished debator. He will last until their new toy breaks—but don’t worry— Christmas is coming and the GOPee Bad Santas will deliver more ‘goodies’ eheheheh.

After Cantor’s unbelievable rant on CNN this morning about Jeb I don’t think the GOPe has given up on him just yet. However, they will be forced to pull the plug on Jebbie and put all their marbles on Ruby’s head before long.

headline is correct, expect to see slow drain of resource from Yeb.

There is a place on the “Former RNC Flavor of the Month” shelf just waiting for Senior Amnesty. His little statuette can go between Fiorona and Carson right next to Yeb Bush’s.

I think some Freepers may be whistling past the graveyard in regards to Rubio.

In terms of style, confidence, thinking quick on his feet... this guy is pretty good, and I'm not even a fan.

I am currently enjoying an "Autumn Fling" with Trump. By the time I get to vote in the SEC Primary, we'll see who's left.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager the two "finalists" will be Rubio and Cruz.
