All you have to know is that Jennifer Rubin is the designated GOP-E mouthpiece at the Washington Post.

If she says it, it came straight from the Chamber of Commerce Propaganda Division.

This must be the hit piece after Rubin got a call from the White Hut after “say it straight to my face”...

Just can’t justify clicking to read liberal wishful thinking if it give s website hits to WaPo. Jenny probably isn’t all that entertaining anyway.

Jennifer Rubin is the designated GOP-E mouthpiece ??

If so, then she makes George Will look like a freaking genius.

How can one tell that Ted Cruz is making in-roads?

Jenny Rubin begins writing about him, always trying to shoot him down, again.

For a while her column was always about Cruz and how horrible he is.

For those who don’t know she is a supposed conservative and a GOPe favorite. One of their media arm writers.

The WaPo must see Cruz as a threat or they wouldn’t take time out from bashing Trump and Carson to dress this garbage up with a title and print it as if it was meaningful.

Let me guess, is this another “I don’t know anybody who voted for Nixon” type of person?

Actually, I believe the truth is the opposite. That said, Cruz needs to open a can of Trump whoop azz on Rubio.

Cruz should leave a message on her voice mail asking if she would like to have an exclusive sit down interview with him.

Cruz has always been the attacker, painting other Republicans as squishes, sellouts and agents of Democrats.

After reading that line, it removed all doubt of any honesty in the article.

Jennifer Rubin is the WaPo version of David Brooks. Her next astute observation will be her first.
