Internal Polling Shows Marco Rubio Crashes, Burns After Horrendous Debate Performance

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — At least two separate GOP presidential campaigns’ internal polling data shows a demonstrable and significant slide for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) after his widely panned debate performance—where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie targeted him—Breitbart News has learned.

A pro-Ohio Gov. John Kasich Super PAC published, via Politico, internal polling numbers showing a drop off for Rubio after Christie exposed him during the debate.

In that poll, Rubio fell down to 10 percent and into fourth place. “Most of the polling conducted in the immediate days before the debate showed Rubio in second place,” Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote late Sunday.

“The survey, which was based on phone calls to 500 likely voters (margin of error plus or minus 3 percent), was conducted Sunday, the day following the latest Republican debate,” Isenstadt added.

As soon as a caller pointed out that Rubio would absolutely carry on Obama’s Transformation with regard to amnesty, Rush started stammering about how, yep, that’s a problem that Rubio has to explain, etc. Rush’s spin was pathetic.

Of all the possibilities, they are all equally bad.

RUSH: Byron York at the DC Examiner, a story after the amnesty bill passed the Senate. I’m excerpting. This is not actually how it begins, just little portions of it. “Republicans were able to keep their heads down in part…” I want you to listen to this now.

“Republicans were able to keep their heads down in part because there wasn’t a lot of pressure coming from the anti-reform conservative base.” Byron York says that the Republican senators weren’t getting a lot of complaint phone calls and he says “that owed a great deal to the Gang’s decision to dispatch Rubio, elected as a Tea Party favorite in 2010 and viewed as a future leader of the Republican Party,” as the face of the bill. He eliminated or reduced a whole bunch of conservative Republican members of the base calling and complaining.

######################################

RUSH: “The Gang also got lucky. During the time the bill was under consideration, a lot of Republicans became distracted by various Obama administration troubles,” and this was by design, folks, the IRS and all of that stuff. It was real. But amnesty is what they really want. You get amnesty, you get your 60 million permanent underclass Democrat voters. You got all of that. So this story basically says that Rubio was used to silence conservative opposition, because they didn’t want to harm him — and they did it “brilliantly.”

I find it amazing that anyone would even consider voting for a slimy, two faced weasel like Rubio. Even the media support can't make Rubio seem like anything but a sleaze ball.

“RINO-Rush was fully exposed as GOP-Establishment when he defined Rubes as a “full throated conservative”.

HAs anyone listened to him today and get his current GOP-E message?”

I listened to Rush today for a short time. I was amazed to hear Rush defending Rubio. Rush said he thought Rubio suffered a brain freeze.

Rush did say Rubio needs to explain his actions with the Gang of Eight. A caller said Rubio is dishonest and no one should believe him.

Rush spent his first two hours trying to pull out Rubio. Never in a million years would I have thought it was possible...Rush cheerleading for amnesty pimp Rubio.

“I turned off Rush today. Rush is pumping Rubio. Why?”

It’s SO disgusting and obvious and sad...but it’s really this simple...follow the $. People have to figure out NONE of these talking heads give a rip about ‘we the people’, they follow the $$$!

And this is how they do it....Special interest groups, pacs pay off the talking heads of radio. This is nothing new. GW BUSH paid off several to push his policies and it came out of YOUR tax $$...like Armstrong Williams, who now works for Ben Carson.

Headline: Who’s funding this pro-Ted Cruz super PAC?
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/06/politics/ted-cruz-super-pac/index.html

[snip] Stand for Truth, Inc., an emerging player in the orbit of often clashing constellation of pro-Cruz super PACs, recently pledged to air more than $4 million in television ads to back Cruz in Iowa and South Carolina. Super PACs can accept unlimited contributions but are required to disclose their financial backers.

Ok, the guy running this outfit is Eric Lycan, LAWYER is all wound up with the US Chamber of Commerce. I do find it MOST interesting that many of Cruz’s supporters/funders are open border, free traitors (TPP). Their filing also shows they spent $42,000 to create digital advertising for Ted Cruz, and...
.....wait for it...
..... spent $192,594.00 for “RADIO ADVERTISING”.
It makes a person wonder which radio broadcasters might have picked up some of that Pro-Ted Cruz advertising money?

About 1:30, my sister in FL called me in TN, almost screaming, “Are you listening to Rush?!” Me: “No. I stopped listening to him last week.” She was upset that he was pumping/pimping Rubio shamelessly.

“Someone” who has access to Florida confidential files must have something on Rush.
