I am ready-—been ready.

WE don’t have a party anymore.

Republicans better hope they can get enough Hispanic votes to make up for those they are losing.

“Republicans better hope they can get enough Hispanic votes to make up for those they are losing.”

I think the Repubs also know the dems have a permanent lock on the White House, so without that unifying element, they’re now in the “screw it.. pander to every interest group” mode.

This tells me GOP is perfectly happy to be the rubber stamp for DEM.

They don't want control, if they win any election (happy accident), they just want to continue to enjoy their perks and ‘prestige’.

it's a Rubio specific thing ~ we lost the pro-RINO voters in Florida when Crist went over to the Democrats. That was a half million voters ~ maybe a quarter million ~ but it was a large grup that are not easily replaced except with a massive Republican voter registration drive!

Rubio imagines that he can pick up among Hispanics ~ but I doubt that even if he could he could save his own seat. That hope went out with the Crist voting block. They won't be back!
