“Marco Rubio is the original Tea Party candidate”
Well Erick the Tea Party thought so as they pushed him over the top in a tight senate race. Then less than 2 weeks later in an interview he said in answer to a question about it that he didn’t know if he was really a tea partier. He was already distancing himself.
Then Marco thought well he would glom onto a huge issue, immigration and he would push through “immigration reform” as part of the Gang of Eight and ride it into the Whitehouse. Of course he stumbled badly and I now question his maturity and judgement. I am also a little concerned that Rubio has a lethal case of ambition.
So color me unconvinced. Ted Cruz who is almost the same age shows maturity and good judgement. I am pretty much committed to him at this point.
However my only line in the sand is Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.
“I am also a little concerned that Rubio has a lethal case of ambition.”
I suspect the ‘establishment’ has been whispering in his ear. “Stick with us and you’ll go far:” One of those lower level ‘establishment’ sorts told me in no uncertain terms yesterday that Cruz is unelectable and that Rubio is their guy. My blood pressure spiked, but I bit my tongue, opting instead to allow this aquaintance to continue to boast about his ‘insider wealth of knowledge’.
[Ted Cruz who is almost the same age shows maturity and good judgement.]
TED CRUZ is Reaganesque. A President CRUZ would have a calming effect on a nation in turmoil. He has a vision for America and the wherewithal to see it through.
