This was posted today at Right Wing News. It is a good reminder of the dangers of nominating Marco Rubio.
The only thing I fear is, all this mindless nonsense is going to cause a large portion of voters to stay home after the primaries are finished.
A plurality of Republican voters aren’t conservative.
For many reasons.
So Rubio can get a lot of votes if he’s the last guy standing from that group of candidates.
Agreed. The author of this thread might have to come to the conclusion that he is the one that is wrong. Rubio is not an establishment darling. they tried to defeat him in Florida and they are trying to crush him now. He can unite the party. Well, not all the hard liners on this site, but I don’t think he will need them to win.
Here is Cruz pushing birthright citizenship, defending anchor babies like Rubio to be able to be president. This man is dangerous! Aug. 13, 2011. Under a minute and the same smarmy Cruz lawyereze BS. And no, he didn’t mention he was born in Canada. It took him 3 more years to figure that one out.

It's another when personal dislike is added as an additional hurdle. Even though Democrats and the press hated Reagan's policies, they often liked him personally, which was something that aided Reagan in enacting his agenda.
Cruz has established himself as the Grand Inquisitor of the GOP, and while that is red meat to hard-line conservatives, it makes you unpopular personally, and unlikeable. It is looking more and more like Ted Cruz just doesn't play well with others, and that isn't a good sign either in terms of getting elected, or being able to govern effectively once there.
I'm not sure a President Cruz would be able to accomplish much more than vetoing things he doesn't like. In terms of enacting the legislation needed to effect permanent change...I just don't see it. I don't see him having the personal appeal necessary to rally either Congressional or public support.
Spare your self the disappointment. Vote for ANYONE who runs against ANY Democrat.
And thank God we have an American in the running.
