It’s going to be volatile up until we finally get some debates in which people can see them face off on the issues and see them interact.
He’s a liberal - of course the GOPe is crazy about him.
I wonder who these people are ‘having second thoughts about Walker’.
Good job, wealthy idiots..drop the best guy who’s got the sterling legislative and political record. Let’s go with the one term Senator who has done little, other than piss off the very people who elected him. Good thinking.
Slowly, in the background, a voice-over is starting to chant, “Cruz, Cruz, Cruz.”
If Jeb Bush fades, Rubio is their backstop.
Our guys are Walker and Cruz.
Bah! Two-faced Marco
no
“Everybody’s talking about Rubio.” So says a top Republican operative”
Uh huh. Sure they are.
Says a “top” operative? Cant wait to see what the bottom operative has to say tomorrow.
I don’t think Bush has much chance, but then, I never did. He was a good governor of Florida, very business oriented and brought a lot of prosperity, and would make a great Secy of Commerce. But not a good President.
I don’t think Walker is out of it yet, and it’s true that Rubio could move up, although I’d rather see Jindal.
However, the big question is whether the GOP is going to decide they have to find a female or black candidate somewhere, since once again, the Dems will be running on identity politics and not on substance. (Personally, I think the Dem choice will be Michelle Obama, if not for Pres., at least for VP.)
Jindal is of Indian descent, and Rubio is from a Cuban refugee family. Both of them are the successful children of immigrants, but I don’t think that’s going to qualify them in the minority sweepstakes; in fact, it would be a disqualifier. Indians actually study and do well in school and careers, and successful Hispanics have worked hard, usually in their own businesses, and gotten ahead because they’re willing to put in the hours and invest their own money. None of these are the types of behavior the Dems wish to encourage.
So unless you’re a properly government-dependent and grievance-fueled “minority,” you don’t count, and either Rubio or Jindal would be mercilessly attacked by the Dems as not being “representative.”
That said, I can’t think of any good black GOP candidates, although there might be a couple of women governors who would be good. But so far, I haven’t heard anything from them.
The insiders can buzz all they want...I’ll still not vote for the Schmuckie tool.
Buzzzzzzzzz {SWAT!}
Amnesty Marco has to overcome the stinch from the Gang of 8, but he, like Jeb Bush, keep falling back into their real position of pushing for amnesty and open borders.
The one thing Rubio is better than Dauphin is throwing meaningless rhetorical to the GOP base.
****************
The gullible base will lap it up. They always do.
One ‘national’ poll showed Jeb with only 4% yesterday.
He seems to be about as popular with the R-masses as McCain was in 2008.
Translation: trying to create some buzz.
"The answer is no."
Rubio is better than Bush or Christie. In the same way, the clap is better than syphilis or AIDS.
They have no idea that Marco's a non-starter, too.
Over a period of years the net cost of comprehensive immigration reform will run close to two trillion. dollars.
