Mickey Kaus: Rubio Is the Republican John Edwards
Breitbart ^ | Feb 4, 2016 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 02/04/2016 2:46:52 PM PST by detective

Anti-amnesty blogger Mickey Kaus highlighted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)'s penchant for dodging questions by retreating to his memorized stump speech and labeled the donor-class candidate the Republican John Edwards. "Rubio's the GOP John Edwards," Kaus tweeted. "Both Rubio and Edwards have the gift of gab, which only takes you so far."

.. it sounds like a fairly accurate description of Rubio to me ...

But are you a fair judge, Perez?

Rubio seems a bit too slick for me.

However, if he manages to beat out Ted Cruz, I will still crawl over broken glass to vote for him over Hillary or Bernie.

Boy Rubio rents out a lot of space in your head. Should of Rubio coming with Trump and Cruz and their supporters tearing each other to shreds.

I’m against rewarding people for breaking into the country and breaking multiple laws daily by remaining in the country illegally and working illegally, taking jobsfrom Americans.

And anybody who supports them.

Yeb! and Young Yeb! are real big on the illegal alien inundation.

I’m not.

You seem to be OK with it.

Remember that video of Edwards fussing over his hair before a TV interview? So funny!

"Both Rubio and Edwards have the gift of gab, which only takes you so far."

"The gift of gab"? Really?

I'd say they both come across as artificial -- and more interested in how they look than in what they say.

The nickname I remember was "the Silky Pony."

Yesterday after reading about how Megyn thinks Marco is so smooth, that lame 90's song by Gerardo ("Rico Suave") popped into my head and I was turning that spoken bit into "Marco Suave" for the rest of the damned day. So for me, Rubio has become "Mar-r-r-co SUA-ve." Sure as hell I am now going to end up saying it in a low fry somewhere in public before I catch myself.

Rumors down in FL have it that Rubio and Edwards have a fair bit in common...

He meant they both are philanderers.

Edwards had at least one extra-curricular activity. The grapevine has it that Rubio has had many.

When I read “Republican John Edwards”, I thought that meant Rubio had a pregnant photographer girlfriend on the side

You get her photo spread only AFTER he gets the nomination...

Kaus is dog whistling that he thinks Rubio has some similar scandals in the background.

Remember Kaus broke the John Edwards story.

Rubio needs to work on seeming sincere.
Especially when he’s lying through his teeth.
******************************
He never memorized how to seem sincere. He only memorized the stale talking points he’s been repeating for years.

“Kaus is dog whistling that he thinks Rubio has some similar scandals in the background.”

Do you think Rubio’s secret sex partner is a man or a woman?
