Rubio is not ready for prime time. He’s too wishy-washy and subject to the left’s Schumer and McCain.

[VanDeKoik]

This is a set-up to win it for Rubio.

The GOPe wants a fight. Don’t give it to them.

Trump will get the Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich treatment. They will attempt to drive his negatives so high that only Trumps' hard core supporters will vote for him. This strategy pretty much always works with enough effort. And of course supporters of GOPe candidates (the entire field other than Trump) will cheer form the side lines hoping to inherit voters that will no longer vote Trump. However the not trump candidates that sat on the side lines cheering the smear campaign to trash Trump will never get the hard core supporters of Trump and consequently lose in the general election. Right now Trump has a firm 25% of GOP voters and likely a firm 25% of independents. That is a lot of voters to royally piss off.

But the Uniparty does not care they will be perfectly happy with anyone other then Trump. Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb are all acceptable to the globalist ruling class. Only Trump threatened their gravy train. Only Trump is not owned by billionaire donors, Chamber of Commence, Club for Growth, and the Wall St bankers. The rest not so much.

I’ll take it. If only to see the GOPe heads exploding.

Karl Rove will be working at Burger King by mid-2017.

Thus far I’m liking the way that this election season is going much more than 2012 or 2008. Even though my first choice (Rick Santorum) is mired in half-digits, my second choice (Ted Cruz) is doing well. Perhaps even better, the GOP-e’s first choices (Bush, Kasich, and Christie) are going downhill, and the alternative establishment choice (Rubio), for all his faults is definitely better than (The Father of RomneyCare and Homosexual Marriage in America) Romney or (Reach Across the Aisle and I Hate Social Conservatives) McCain. This isn’t over yet, but I think that the eventual outcome will be better than in previous election cycles. Hopefully.

I think Cruz has to beat Rubio on the under card before he can challenge Trump.

The 3 anti-GOPe are combined 56 percent. How do Yeb and Mario expect to win with a base that hates them that much. I like seeing the numbers up that high, because it shows the establishment how easy it would be to form a new party.
