Scarborough: Rubio Is the ‘Republican Obama’
Breitbart ^ | feb 2 12016

Posted on 02/02/2016 4:15:26 PM PST by drewh

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough reacted to Rubio post-Iowa Caucus speech from a night earlier, where he finished third overall.

After airing a clip comparing Rubio’s speech to then-Sen. Barack Obama’s victory speech after the 2008 Iowa Caucus, Scarborough declared Rubio to be the “Republican Obama.”

“You know, I have said for a year that he is the Republican Obama,” Scarborough said. “He is the Republican Obama and he just stole the speech … In my opinion having somebody with little experience before they become president has not actually been great

Roobio is a slick talking hyena. Cruz’s main threat is not Trump, but Roobio.

There are 3 Republican factions currently competing:

Establishment Progressive lead by Roobio. Backups are Kasich and Bush.
Populist Progressive - Trump.
Constitutional Conservative - Cruz.

Choose wisely.

Cruz might have had another chance to argue his “foreign born” status at SCOTUS but this sleeze trick has knocked him out. Bye Ted!!!

Is it fake?

There are a couple of photos and there was documentation about him being somewhere gays frequent that was destroyed.

I don’t know what it all means but, as a woman, I can tell you where there is smoke, there usually is a smoker.

Neither Cruz or Rubio are anything close to Obama. First off both are pro American conservatives. Both have major accomplishments before the senate. Rubio was speaker of the house in Florida. Obama was a back bencher no nothing. Cruz was successful in a variety of roles and went in front of the Supreme Court. That’s top echelon. Not an occasional guest instructor brought in to sell social justice.

These guys are both on our side. Rubio has his major immigration flaws but otherwise a good conservative, pro American voice.

Rubio is the new Obama...???

LOL...

I see the left is still trying to pick the GOP candidates...

Rubio has years of experience in the Florida state legislation...

He was the majority leader in the Florida House...

Obama stole his senate seat...

Yes here is what Mr. Rubio was doing when he was majority whip in our State House in Florida.

Oh, so it’s Rubio’s fault that Jeb lost? Jeb lost because people did not connect with him, and because many just don’t want another Bush in the white house.

Unlike Obama, I happen to believe that when Rubio talks of his love for this country, he’s being sincere.

Thank you. This whole thread demonstrates why Republicans always lose. People here seem to have a fundamental inability to distinguish an America hating Marxist like Obama from someone who for most purposes is on the conservative side, even if there are some issues of disagreement. And the baseless accusations of homosexuality are particularly vile.

Exactly. The GOPe is playing Three Card Monty with Conservatives. Rubio is the "money card".

For the umpteenth time: the SCOTUS cannot rule on the eligibility of a president because the Constitution gives that power to the Congress.

And...
Joe probably hears all the rumors from FL.
He knows it’s a bad idea to nominate this guy.

He’s more like the Republican Bill Clinton to me. There’s something not quite trustworthy about Gang of Eight Marco.

Good luck. God Bless. Cruz is finished after his sleeze yesterday and the flier telling old people ‘VIOLATION OF VOTING LAWS” ( if you don’t vote for the scum bag). He is finished. My wife hates him now. She was a BIG SUPPORTER!!

Big difference between Obama and Rubio is that Obama won. Rubio has no shot.

The Rowe GOPe moles here on FR will be coming out shortly, telling us that Rubio is really a conservative. Let us count the numbers.
