I still think this was a setup. Rubio was going to be a Tea Party favorite. Clean, hispanic, intelligent, he was everything the Tea Party wanted and everything the GOPe hated. The 2016 Presidential candidate that not even Hillary could beat.

Then the GOPe made him an offer he couldnt refuse. Come along with us and not only will you be the 2016 candidate, but be a visionary and bring home the Hispanic vote for the GOP. If you don’t, you are done.

In for a penny, in for a pound. Not only will he not attract the Hispanic vote, he will lose to a rat in the general and McLame and Grahmnesty will be nowhere to be found.

The establishment ruined Rubio for the Tea Party.

Rubio made those choices, he did it to himself.

Personal responsibility is a conservative trait.

If he's that naive, then he's unqualified to be president of the United States. I quail at the thought of someone that gullible going head to head with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping or King Abdullah.

IF the Rubes had remained true to his core conservative values (no matter how deeply hidden they might be) he would have been a ferocious opponent for any lib on the ticket. You, I believe, have it so right. Rubes was set up. They had to knock him down early....and they did. Of course, he was the one who chose to close his eyes and jump of his pedestal and has no one to blame but himself. McLame must be so proud that he at last got to gig Sarah big time. What a wimp of a male. Go Sarah, go Sarah, go Sarah!!!!!
