An all-out assault on Sen. Marco Rubio by groups aligned with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is angering GOP senators, who fear it could hurt the party's chances of capturing the White House.

Right to Rise, a pro-Bush super PAC, has spent an estimated $20 million against Rubio. It is expected to launch a new ad this weekend featuring a clip of former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who endorsed Rubio Tuesday, fumbling to name one of his accomplishments.

One senator who has endorsed Bush, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), is urging the PAC to rein in its attacks.

But they aren’t asking to reign in attacks on other candidates. The GOPe showing their fairness and their commitment to a fair primary /s

Reminds me how they respected voters wishes since 2014.

Exactly. Let the establishment have their food fight among themselves. Better for us. Seriously, I think Jeb is jealous of Rubio, and that’s what all this is about.

Jeb attacking Rubio will just boost Rubio’s chances with those who view Jeb as the consummate establishment pick.

I think they all should rein in their attacks on each other and attack Barack Obama, Mrs. Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.

Yeb! sees himself as Mario Rubco’s protege and is relly ticked off that his protege has stabbed him in the back.

Mario Rubco is a backstabber, everyone should know this after his Gang activities.

Never give more knives to backstabbers

It isn’t R vs D that matters.

It is the citizens vs The Cheap Labor Express

They have managed to force us to vote for amnesty cadidates since the last amnesty.

No more
