Honestly, Rubio is easy to understand. Imagine a fellow wants to sell you a chair. It looks fine, sturdy, but it's just like the chair in your office. You ask him how it's different and he swears to God it is. He just swears, and swears, and swears again until you give in.
...
Trump and Kasich are the only ones dug in alone, playing a different game. Don't be fooled by the audience in the hall; Trump's audience is at home, watching the tube. He cuts in, gets his man on the ropes and pulls back. His moves are surprising in the moment but never in retrospect. He leaves them wanting more. Consider this:
BUSH: My mom is the strongest woman I know.
TRUMP: She should be running.
That's television, and he understands it better than anybody.
Trump's attack on George W. Bush isn't liberal or even surprising; it's cold as ice. The record shows that Bush, Condoleeza Rice and others ignored warnings of an imminent terrorist attack in summer 2001. The "My president, right or wrong" crowd is small these days; most people understand that the reckless, irresponsible, and unnecessary wars Bush launched led directly to ISIS and this mess we're in.
If you voted for Bush 15 years ago, your business dried up. Your kids moved away to look for jobs. Your nephew enlisted to get out of town but was blown up in Iraq. You feel betrayed, so you go to Trump.
The press clutches their pearls when Trump throws around "liar," as he did so freely last night. But the guy in the VFW Hall has waited a long time to hear "They lied, they said there were weapons of mass destruction, and there were none."
Cold, efficient--and absolutely right.

Trump the fighter!
Ooh, that is a dagger to the heart! Irrefutably true, and cold as ice.
Pretty much sums it up.
My Father and Stepmother were furious about Trumps behaviour and they said they turned it off. They said that there “concerned” that Trump is turning off voters, and it will hurt him in the General. Im thinkin how many Sanders voters may vote Trump once they figured out The DNC jobbed em.
Go Trump
What a clever writing technique! A bit like Dennis Miller.
But on a practical note, Trump as the GOP nominee is going to have to position himself vis a vis the last 15 years of war in the Middle East. We now see the outline of what it’s going to be, and when you look at the entire population through the lens of 2016, it is a position most Americans will agree with.
Rubio is a pathetic con man. He never goes to work. He steals his pay check. He stood with Schumer FOR AMNESTY and he is a credit card thief. He is way too short to be president and he is a liar! Phylis Shafley pealed him like a cuban banana. He is finished and will not be reelected ever in any office again. I expect him sell TVs at BEST BUY soon.
I wish government workers got paid by the hour, the way most of us do, and were docked for time they weren’t on the job. Rubio would owe as would Obama. Cruz has missed a lot too - Trump would be paid overtime. Kasich - ??? He’s a rather good governor here in Ohio and does his job. The rest - who cares?
It isn’t irrefutable to even a tiny degree. .
The mess the middle east is in now could have been avoided by not financing a civil war against our ally, Egypt. By not bombing the snot out of Libya, and by not arming every rag tag islamist group out there and throwing them into Syria.
Bush screwed up a lot, but the mess we have now is an Obama creation.
Rubio really does sweat a lot too. He has a permanent shine to his forehead. Are toupees hot to wear ?
Oh my. the author nailed it. Thank you for posting it.
