The fact that Trump votes migrated to Rubio proves that Trump is actually the establishment candidate. Hes in with Big Money, a mover and shaker...in with the bankers, in with the pols. Cruz is the outsider as it turns out, in with no one. Trump better beware if Rubio surges he takes votes from Trump, not Cruz. Then it’s Cruz v. Rubio for the win.
Which is hilarious since Cruz has spent his life in Washington DC. I doubt that will go unsaid over and over again.
It’s a who is more Godly contest in Iowa, despite the state always going Democrat.
Levin says Rubio spent more in Iowa than Trump and Cruz combined.
The GOPe has been pushing Rubio on us since Bush failed. They will have their way.
I am a Trump supporter and there is absolutely no way I would consider supporting Rubio unless it’s in the general election. My support would go to Cruz.
Rubio was picked and groomed to support establishment policies. They like his young look, ability to deliver speeches and talking points written by others, his rags to riches(hmmm potential riches) and his appeal to latinos.
Nobody really knows who the real Rubio is. Myself I put him in the RINO category.
I heard that, too. The media has down played it.
Cruz went to Washington in 2012. Not exactly a lifetime in Washington.
A weird deal for sure, with Caliph Baraq +6 in 2012.
There was 99-03 too.
But point well taken
Rubio is now The Cheap Labor Express candidate.
The RNC owes them an amnesty candidate.
Yeb! flamed out spectacularly. More money spent per vote ever.
He was supposed to be The Designated Loser.
Guess Rubio is it this time.
He worked in the Bush administration before that
Rubio is an amnesty kick the can down the road Rino.
When did he do that easy job of convincing Kennedy to pass his Supreme court rulings? Certainly he was in DC during that time.
I would prefer to see Cruz win, but I must admit that a Trump-Cruz ticket (with Trump at the top) would work very well for a whole host of reasons.
Cruz went to work for the Bush campaign in 1999. After Bush became president, he was an associate deputy attorney general at the DOJ. Then, he was the director of policy planning at the Federal Trade Commission.
He was Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008. He attempted to run for Attorney General for Texas, but abandoned the bid because Greg Abbott decided to run for re-election.
Cruz was in private practice from 2008 until he became a US Senator in 2013.
After he graduated from Harvard Law School in 1995, he clerked for the US Court of Appeals 4th Circuit & then for William Rehnquist (SCOTUS) IN 1996.
He worked in the private sector; 2 different law firms, for about 6 years (1997-1998, 2008-2013).
It’s been 20 years, last year, since he graduated from law school.
He grew up in Texas .. spent the 90'S at Princeton and Harvard .. '99 to '03 at the FTC ... '03 to '09 in Texas as Texas Solicitor General and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Texas Law School in Austin.
Facts are a cruel taskmaster Nappy
A radio show I heard today said that because Trump didn’t have an organization on the ground there was no one to speak for him at these caucuses and that made a vital difference. The other major candidates had people designated to speak up for them. This speaks to his inexperience with caucus states.
