They broke for the best polling RINO. Pretty poor when you think about the RINOs consciously voting just over 20% for one guy. Jeb, Christie didn’t poll enough to spoil.
I can’t imagine Democrats doing that with their very close primary. Plus Rubio is the only one that beats Hillary and Bernie. The rest lose. Now that may change but the debate is what helped Rubio.
I don't see why Hillary would want to go up against Rubio, though. To her mind Trump or Cruz would be easier to paints as extremists that are too radical for America.
Also I don't see Democrats moving to register Republican when the Democrat caucus was so close. You'ld think they would be desperate to keep as many voters as possible to either vote Hillary or vote Sanders.
Stop looking at long term polling numbers. I can’t imagine Bernie Sanders telling people he’s sick of hearing about Hillary’s emails, but he did! Bernie knows he’ll have to do what’s needed and get along with the party to an extent.
The Dems want Rubio because they win either way. They get Hillary or they get a pro-amnesty Republican that’ll legalize 10s of millions of new voters, 67% of whom voted for Obama last time out.
We will never win another national race if Scamnesty passes. It’s an existential threat to the Republic. Forget Republican party, to the Republic itself as they’ll accelerate open borders and bring in tens of millions more from around the world. We will be living in a 3rd world hellhole.
Were these college kids Sanders supporters? They could have easily won the election by supporting their guy? Why give that up to back Rubio?
Does make sense that Democrats would do this though.
Gang of eight.
Rubio beats Hillary?
Rubio means they win already. Game over. They get amnesty we are toast.
Read Coulter’s book on the subject. Well researched and nails it. We lose amnesty, we lose every national election from here out.
Because Rubio is a boy of average intelligence with a cheerleader wife. Cruz has an IQ of 150 and organizational skills as good as Nixon. Trump is Trump and has proved he’s not afraid to call a bitch a bitch. They want Rubio!
How Rubio Did So Well....
M-I-C-R-O-S-O-F-T
;-)
Will this work in N.H. ?
I don't know.
Saying that Iowans are more religious or NH more secular is now a matter of a few percentage points.
If Rubio can sell his schtick in Florida, then he can sell it in NH, Iowa, Utah, California, Wyoming, etc.
Yes there are differences between the states, but I think that well-run campaigns and MSM lies can even out the differences.
Also, a lot more people are willing to vote strategically rather than with their conscience. I have a feeling that the vast majority of Republicans that voted for Rubio in Iowa did so not because they agreed with his policies the most, but because they thought he has the best chance against Hillary in November.
That’s exactly right! Rubio is the key for them. Amnesty is the key. It wasn’t that long ago that Minnesota started to turn more red. What did they do? They shipped 175 million Somalia, Ethopia, and Hmong to even things out. They did it in Michigan as well. I like Cruz, he knows the score. I like Trump as well and I am with him because he is the only candidate with the strength to fight the MSM.
I am not for Rubio. I was just saying why others are.
Trump 2016!
And Rubio is losing in Florida; they know him and most HATE him now.
Cool! It’s always gratifying when I get a 100%.
I agree with almost everything you say, but! Iowa has a quirk in the northwest corner. The Dutch Reform Church is very, very conservative and they use it well.
I know what you meant. I’m just upset today about Rubio. He’s so obviously owned by the Uniparty and even Rush is defending the guy.
I hope that’s true baby. Rubio is a child and can’t stand up to the heat.
It is sickening for sure. The thing is Rubio has not been tested yet. I mean Bush with his lame commercials were a big fail, but now he is going to big leagues and it is not that great. Heck one thing I do believe is that Trump and Cruz are sharp and both of them were “spooked a time or two” during the debates. Rubio is going to be crucified on Saturday night. I mean Christie is not going to let him get an inch of a lie in. The target on Saturday is Rubio. It might work great for Trump and maybe Cruz.
