Of course, this ass-hat of a journalist has no problem with the narcissist-in-chief.
JenRube, presstitute for the D.C. Republican establishment, shows her ignorance again. Jen is certainly a one-note songbird, and it’s off key.
meh......
I stand with Ted
Understand something about Rand Paul - not a conservative, and only is congruent with a few points with what conservatives believe. First and foremost, Rand Paul is libertarian, a rather different breed of cat, and moves from a different base than most conservatives.
It would be natural with others from a distance, to sort of conflate the two. And most of the time, conservatives do overlap a lot with libertarians. The conservative, though, bases his (or her) concept of the world from what has been recorded and found to be a basic underlying set of truths, tested by experience and with reliable applications being proven right every time they are tried.
Libertarians differ in that their reaction to strange or uncomfortable newly formulated schemes in largely rejecting them, because these ideas almost always involve greater and greater intrusions in personal live and in decision making, and the response to most of this intrusion is “Get off my back!”
Sure, they can agree on a lot, but still, most conservatives consider most libertarians to be rather sloppy and unfocused in their methods and reasoning, and libertarians consider conservatives to be sort of stuffed shirts.
Satan is the father of lies. It is his desire that we believe good is evil and evil is good.
Simply a lying liar lying.
I just love it. Two Republicans having the temerity to get in the face of the MSM drive by’s and the RINOe’s. Oh the outrage. :-)
Yeah, he is rino like, that is one reason that he loses his cool so easy, he is trying to convey an overall image that is false, and cannot hold up to having his words and positions examined.
Note how they focus on how Ted and Rand treat their “collegues” in congress, as if you are supposed to treat other senators as “Co-workers working for the SAME company”..... This is not true they are working for SEPRATE companies called their HOME STATE!
Senators are SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR THEIR OWN STATE, NOT “THE STATE”!!!!!!
Of course the headline of the article implies that both Ted and Rand are abusive towards their own staffers, when instead the article whines about them daring to DO THE JOB THEY WERE SENT TO WASHINGTON TO DO!!!!
DOING THEIR JOB PROPERLY means that they will at times PISS OFF the other senators!

They are the ones who want everyone to get the work done rather than sitting around, drinking coffee and playing grab ass all day. Some might call that leadership.
She is not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, her views fit squarely with where liberal Democrats were in the 1970's and 80's: socially liberal but not radical, pro-welfare state albeit in moderation, pro-Israel (as opposed to the anti-Israel drift in today's Left), and pro-open borders. She basically wants the Republican Party to be the Democratic Party of 30 or 40 years ago, so no wonder the McCain, Mitt, Christie and Jeb are "serious" candidates while Cruz or Paul are not. Cruz isn't "serious" about turning the GOP into an 80's version of the Democratic party.
[ Cruz, of course, has picked fights consistently with colleagues, misled them on an ill-advised shutdown and become famous by denouncing other Republicans as sellouts. His burning ambition and lack of cooperative legislating give the impression that everything he does is calculated to advance his career and enhance his ego...]
Ted Cruz has a giant Ego????
That is news to me, because if he does it is a candle next to the sun compared to Obama’s Ego....
Typical Lib Projection..
As Rush just said, this is a build up to promote the “female” candidate Hillary. MSM will send female reporters after republican candidates, editorializing instead of asking questions. Be prepared!
Cruz is a traditionalist, Rand is a libertarian. Both are preferable to the Rockefeller and/or Neoconservative wings of the GOP represented by Christie and Jeb.
lol, Rand Paul stood up for himself against an interviewer who was merely pushing the democratic playbook and that’s called a “low threshold for criticism”? What he did was refreshing.
Cruz doesn’t play well with others because he disagrees with the establishment wing of the Republican party?
Yep, she has those two figured out!/s
I am weakening. If I read one more J Ruben anti-Cruz/Paul article, that’s it. I am voting for Hillary’s nipples.
Oh my goodness. Critics of big government. We can't have that. We're Neocons - we like big government, just a tad smaller than the Democrats.
Ms. Rubin is what I call a cocktail party conservative, a liberal host can invite them without upsetting the rest of the "bien pensants"
[One huge asset of Cruz is his ability to wade into the viper’s nest and keep his cool.]
All that hard work on the college debate team has paid off.
