I just saw a JEB ad that went after Rubio and Cruz.

Rush said that Mike Murphy of Jeb Bush plan is to spend 75 Million to attack every GOP candidate to go scorch earth on them.

I bet everything I have Jeb Bush will never be the GOP candidate

Rush called Murphy a proven loser

Mark spent some time on his radio show last night talking about this and saying he was preparing the text for posting at Conservative Review.

Thanks for posting the whole text here.

Excellent opinion piece by Levin. He nails Rubio for his personal attacks and recent actions that show he will lean whichever direction is favorable for him.

This is a friendly warning to Marco Rubio and his campaign donors, advisers, and consultants that they cannot wash away some of Rubio's less than stellar legislative actions and related positions and pronouncements by embracing and unleashing Saul Alinsky-type tactics against Ted Cruz or other conservatives. Such unprincipled ambition has not and will not go unnoticed by conservatives.

All I know is that he bought 17 airline tickets for a lobbyist named Amber Stoner and that they say the two also stayed at the same resorts. All of the credit card records have not been made public.

Whether he had an affair is an issue for Rubio and his wife. I want to hear his explanation for why he paid for a lobbyist’s airline tickets with his GOP credit card.

You’re welcome. It sounds like Levin is serious about holding Rubio accountable for his false attacks. Thank goodness someone is.

And .. the Jeb people believe that the only way they can get to the 2nd spot is to get rid of all the other candidates.

However, I don’t think Jeb has any clue what it will be like to go up against Ted Cruz with lies and smears. Ted is a fighter .. and I don’t think he’s at all worried about anything the Jeb or Rubio crews thinks they will be able to do.

If Jeb had a really good resume .. he wouldn’t be polling at the end of the line.

Yeah, that statement by Levin just about sums up the conclusion I came to .. Rubio is not ready for prime time; and Rubio’s consultants are not helping.

He’s not on my list.

I’m still Trump/Cruz

That last paragraph was an act of charity.

Rubio does not especially deserve it. He just voted against Rand Paul’s bill. He likes to stand with The Chinless Wonder-McConnell.

Mark is acting like Cruz’s mommy. Cruz can defend himself. Mark never went to this degree to stick up for the lies told about Trump. Just because Levin wants Cruz - doesn’t mean I do. As a VP yes, but not as president. So, Mark and Rush and their ilk can just save their endorsements - it doesn’t move me on iota.

Mark has not been absent in defending Trump. But he is fed up with Rubio’s false attacks on Cruz. Whether you support him or not, in my opinion Cruz has much more integrity than Rubio who is using tactics typical of Dems (repeated half truths and outright misinterpretation) in his attacks on Cruz.

I certainly agree that Cruz has more integrity than Rubio, but I also think he is able to fight is own battles against Marco Sweatio.

You and I have often discussed that the Globalist was propping Rubio up for something I guess Mark’s analysis proves we were right I’m willing to bet while Jeb is throwing everything at Rubio he’d support him and the cabal would have Rubio pick Jeb as the VP should he get the nomination which doesn’t seem likely but anything is possible.

Jeb will get it, not Rubio. Jeb’s the ‘annointed one’, and Carly might get VP. Hitlery will get the nod, and McAuliffe will be her VP. If Hitlery is POTUS, I’m moving to Nova Scotia.
