Marco Rubio Isn’t Running Like a Winner
Salon ^ | December 30, 2015 | Jamelle Bouie

If pundits and observers are skeptical that Donald Trump can win a primary--much less the primary--it's not because they don't buy his popularity. That much is evident. He still leads national polling, he's still ahead in early states like New Hampshire, and his supporters are well in his corner: 63 percent of Trump backers say their minds are "made up" about their candidate of choice....

I think rubio is running more like a chihuahua, yapping and snapping, all the while thinking it’s a big dog.

Exactly! If and when nominated he'll run a GOPe campaign just like their 2012 candidate.

Marco Rubio is running like a man who see a future in which he is a used-car saleman.

Why do writers keep insisting Trump has no ground game? He does. I read that and also how his voters are afraid to travel in snow. It's nuts.

The dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog breed belonging to the hound family. The standard size dachshund was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals,

In other words the Dachshund is a working dog, this dog hunts!

The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog and is named for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Chihuahuas come in a wide variety of sizes, head shapes, colors, and coat lengths.

In other words a Chihuahua serves no real purpose other than to nip at his betters and make a lot of meaningless noise. Rubio is running like a Chihuahua.

It’s wishful thinking, I’m feeling a landslide not seen since 1980.

Spoken like someone who has never been loved by a chihuahua. They are fiercely loyal and loving dogs. We have 4 chihuahua shelter rescues and they are very protective, and make great guard dogs.

Rubio effectively ended his political career when he complained of being bored as a Senator.

Since he is so easily bored, he would probably become bored of being president, too.

So of course you take it as a serious insult to the dog, Chihuahua appear to come in two flavors, all scrotum and attitude or the well adjusted balanced animal, in that, they have been they have been treated and bred by some in the same way as Pit bulls, by that I mean with no consideration to over breeding, inbreeding or aggression. Facts were pretty fairly stated, a Dachshund is a working dog, a Chihuahua is not.

Now as to my comparing the Chihuahua to rubio? Ok, not fair to the chihuahua, the dog has redeeming qualities, as you say they are fiercely loyal to their masters, rubio is not to the American people, the dog is protective of it's home, rubio is happy to let the burglars in and even help them. Yes, I concede your point, I was unfair to Chihuahuas!

I agree. I also suspect he is lazy. For sure he is incompetent and not the brightest. Have you seen his adds? He come across like a conman. No question he is a mere puppet in the hands of his donors.
