Iowa’s talk-radio hosts have been particularly brutal. Steve Deace, an influential Christian conservative, has warned Rubio not to even show up, and has often taunted him during broadcasts. “Zip, zilch, nada — he’s got no support, he would be dead on arrival,” Deace tells me. “He may end up running for president, but he can’t win here.”
Rubio’s latest Iowa headache is Sam Clovis, a charismatic, suspenders-wearing Republican running for U.S. Senate. On the campaign trail, Clovis frequently uses Rubio as a target. Rather than hit President Obama, the usual rhetorical punching bag, he slams Rubio on immigration to score points with conservatives. He does the same on his website, where he “shames” Rubio in a video.
In an interview, Clovis explains his attacks. “What he did is not sitting well with most of us in flyover country,” he says. “He’s the face of this bill, so I bring him up when I talk about the rule of law, and how these Republicans in Washington want us to violate our principles.”
RINOS are Democrats.
” We’ll send him....
96 beers.”
He is doubtless on #92 already.
WRONG. We need to go after the traitors. If they win, they compromise our message. I don't want anyone to even be in the Republican party who thinks invaders should be anything but kicked out of the country and who won't vote to defund Obamacare. We have no way of winning if it's a RINO-globalist vs a Democrat.
Sorry Ann, I don’t tolerate liars of any stripe, but most especially those liars who lied directly to me for my vote.
I won’t be voting for Rubio ever again for any reason.
Umm... the entire point of the presidential primary is for Republicans to go after each other.
I just checked out Clovis on YT. He seems like an okay guy, but looks like he could literally explode at any minute. Chris Christie looks like a paragon of health compared to him. Not a good look for getting elected.
I sent him money at one point also. Never again to that turncoat.

1) They have the same goals
2) They vote for the same ends.
This 1200 page amnesty would effectively destroy our country, and our biggest problem right now is how to stop
REPUBLICANS like Boehner & McConnell from helping the Democrats destroy the country.
Marco looks like the lead singer now. Send him.....96 beers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7uC5m-IRns

You are NOT a thinker....sorry.....that’s like saying Obama is Better than Romney as a President....how DUMB.
Cruz would definitely get my vote.
The article you are commenting on.
I don't like Rubio, but please FOCUS ON THAT TYRANT OBAMA and his synchopants Reid and Pelosi.
And the GOPe will scratch their heads, wonder why, and continue to push for Amnesty.
No no NO
He’s not a shill for illegals. He couldn’t care less about them. Noone in Washington does.
Rubio obeys Washington’s master: $$$$$$$$$$$
He’s a shill for the 1%’ers making fortunes off the illegals.
Money rules everything.
Rubio, isn’t that McCain’s man?
I am sorry you do not approve of people who do not think the same as you.
What makes you think Romney would have been better?
He invented Obamacare, Well at least he wasn’t racist.
