I've always thought of Jennifer Rubin as among the most shrill and loathsome GOP establishment talking heads, and this op-ed is no exception. On the bright side, she says what most RNC apparatchiks think but dare not say in fear of alienating the base in general elections, so Rubin is useful in her own warped way.

You can always identify a hack by their reflexive use of pejorative buzzwords. Someone opposes open borders? Call him a "xenophobe", and hope that will dismiss his arguments. Someone opposes nation-building operations abroad? Call him an "isolationist." It's a great way to distract attention from the fact that your opponents are talking sense while you're in hysterics.

The time has come, and is, that we need a candidate like Ted Cruz. I hope he charges on.

Well, this article is evidence that Cruz and Trump carried the night in the debate. The WP writers, no doubt, had little sleep last night with their nightmares of a Trump or Cruz presidency.

Who knows more about ugly than Jennifer Rubin now that Helen Thomas is gone?

Rubin is an idiot. Cruz was deliberately courting Paul’s remaining supporters—and he did an excellent job.

“Trumpkin”?

Is it ok for people to support this guy without people on both sides spending time coining goofy names like this?

Cut her some slack. Ugly and stupid must be a terrible life burden to bear.

Hey Jennifer “ sesquipedalian” and go make me a sandwich

Jennifer Rubin, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for

All the lonely RINOs
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely RINOs
Where do they all belong?

What’s so ugly about Ted Cruz’s vision? This is what people want.

Cruz was the best I’ve heard him. He is so smart and prepared . You can tell how well he did by the level of loathing at the Washington Compost. Super job Ted!! Carry on!!

If this is true Jennifer then why write about it? Let Cruz crash and burn then.

.

Clearly, Jennifer Rubin has NOT had any family members, relatives, office colleages, neighbors ...

butchered in cold blood by either “peaceful” Islamic terrorists ...

or the “illegal invaders” so beloved by Jeb Bush.

Jennifer Rubin’s perspective is shared by tens of millions of naive Americans.

However, sadly .. “when enough people have died” ...

Ms. Jennifer Rubio will change her tune.

It’s simply a matter of time ...

and Isis and Obama’s beloved Moslem Brotherhood clearly have “useful idiots” like Jennifer Rubin in their blood-soaked crosshairs.

“I’ve always thought of Jennifer Rubin as among the most shrill and loathsome GOP establishment talking heads”

Yep. She’s got a crazy Cruz obsession.

And the headline is written as if she had not always been bashing Cruz, as if inly now, to her, he is going overboard.

I dislike her intellectual dishonesty more than that she doesn’t like Cruz.

And she is greatly representative of the GOPe.

Cruz is not talking about “isolationism” here, bimbo. You folks at the compost need to stick to smaller words.

[[You can always identify a hack by their reflexive use of pejorative buzzwords.]]

Yep- When they can’t win an argument based on the facts- they begin with the pejoratives- surprised she didn’t use terms like ‘big poopie face’, ‘booger head’, turnip breath’ etc

They have a list of democratic buzzwords- and unfortunately it works- not with us, of course, but with low info voters who usually are knee jerk reactionaries who vote on emotion, not substance

So an ‘America-first’ foreign policy (key words: foreign policy) is now newsspeak for ‘isolationism’? Nope, I ain’t buying it. I am sick of the left redefining what Conservatism stands for. Keep in mind that this is the same left that is perfectly OK with handing US sovereignty to the rest of the world.

Cruz is an Ivy League-educated man and knows full well the history of the isolationist “America First” policy:"

Hooray then for Cruz. Isolationist foreign policy will preserve America today from the fatal role of world policeman. It's pejorative smearing is used by those who bury the best interests of the USA to some other favorite country or some money-making arms dealer.
