James Carville to Republicans: Rubio’s your only hope and you know it
Hot Air ^ | November 5, 2015 | Allahpundit

Via RCP, choose one: (a) “It’s a trap!” or (b) “They’ll tell you who they fear.” Actually, no, “they’ll tell you who they fear” is something righties say when Democrats are attacking a Republican, not praising him. They’ll tell you who they fear by how eager they are to tear that Republican down instead of building him up. Although … Democrats have been taking plenty of shots at Rubio lately, including the queen bee herself, so I dunno. Maybe he is the guy they fear. He’s the guy whom Bill Clinton fears, if you believe Ed Klein.

Carville’s goofy, though, if he believes Rubio’s the only top-tier Republican who can do better than 45 percent against a candidate as lame as Hillary, no matter how much money is rolling in for her. Even amid the tsunami of Bush fatigue and Hopenchange in 2008, even with a candidate as lackluster as McCain, ol’ Mav managed 45.7 percent versus Obama’s 52.9. Romney managed 47.2 percent and no one thinks Hillary will be able to mobilize the Obama coalition to the same extent that Team O did. What Carville’s really doing here is taking a dig at the rest of the current top-tier as sure losers — Trump, Carson, and Ted Cruz, about whom he’s had encouraging things to say in the not-very-distant past. (Was that a “trap” too?) The lefty read on Cruz is that he’s another Goldwater in the making, but the presupposition to that is that Hillary’s another LBJ and that she’d have a huge sympathy vote behind her as Johnson did a year after JFK’s death. She ain’t...

Look at the pre-election polls in Kentucky. Trump can repeat that success nationally. MANY blacks will cross over to vote for him as will legal hispanics.

WRONG!!! Dumbo!!!

You can take your Ben Carson GOPe plant and the rest of the RINOs running in this election that kiss the butts of the GOPe and take a hike!!!

Since when did YOUR opinion matter as to what WE do in this election? Your nothing but an underpaid weeny from the GOPe anyway and your opinion stinks as much as they do!!!

Ha!

Marco Rubio’s coming under a microscope, and the Dems know it.

He has had monetary problems, he is restive, he perspires and chugs water - all indicative of a serious cocaine addiction.

People who’ve dealt with addicts and watched the last debate picked up on all the clues.

It’s a trap.

Help me, Rubio, you’re my only hope.

What’s next? Benjamin, I am your father and this is CNN!

Snake head thinks he knows conservatives. We would rather support the right guy and lose the election than support the wrong guy that won’t stand for anything anyway.

As was proven and why we have had Obama for the last two elections.

Thanks!

And we wonder why our issues aren’t addressed. RME.

I’d rather be pure than be able to make a difference/s

That means they’re afraid of TRUMP. Last time the Democrats helped the Republicans pick Romney, claiming that was the guy they feared the most. Bre’r Rabbit story comes to mind again: “Whatever you do, don’t throw me into that briar patch...”

You can stand for conservative principles and win elections. GOPe candidates have consistently in just about every era imaginable betrayed us at a critical point. The 2014 elections proved that.

The GOPe perhaps needs to continue to lose elections until they learn or until the real conservatives form their own party. I would rather the GOP be shattered into a thousand pieces, then see it become liberal light.

The worst thing about POSes like Carville is that even he doesn’t believe the things he says. He’s just a paid political prostitute.
