The intellectual dreg depths you'll go simply to defend your man is truly astonishing in a bot like way. The main difference between Rubio and Christ is that establishment Crist had the support of McConnell and Boehner and Trump, while Rubio did not.
Has Rubio been a turn coat? Absolutely. But without Rubio beating Crist, who knows, does Mike Lee even run? Does Ted Cruz even run? Rubio was the first real tea party victory over the GOP e. Yes, he's stabbed the TP in the back since - I get it - but he did show that an insurgent could beat a powerful establishment figure, even a powerful establishment figure with Donald Trumps money.
But I didn’t actually defend Trump. I just asked a question.
“Rubio was the first real tea party victory over the GOP e.”
No, he wasn’t. He was a perfect illustration of how the GOPE infiltrates races with false tea party candidates, and frustrates and defeats the tea party with lies and liars.
In this current primary there are numerous examples of false conservative candidates being pushed by the GOP. In fact that describes about 90%+ of them or more.
