Walker is out because the big money donors went with Rubio? (or was there a poaching campaign? Rubio knows how to play the establishment game.)

So now we have Fiorina=jeb=Rubio=Kasich=graham

Rubio changes his “core values” like he changes his underwear.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-05-12/marco-rubio-s-foreign-policy-evolution-from-moderate-to-ultra-hawk

His efforts to “move to the right” are cynical to the point of patronizing. But importantly, he has bowed down and kissed the ring of internationalism. That it is the internationalism of multinational corporations instead of the internationalism of socialism, doesn’t really matter.

It means that he neither supports America first, nor has loyalty to his nation, preferring the nebulous power structures of shadowy and unelected internationalist groups.

Now that the UN is openly pushing for international government through its loathsome Agenda 21 and now totalitarian Agenda 2030, such disloyalty is no longer tolerable.

We must demand from our leaders and our candidates that they must support America and its citizens first and foremost. And if the rest of the world goes to Hell, that is tragic, and the American people are generous, so may offer them some voluntary charity. But never, ever, at the cost of an iota of our sovereignty or prosperity.

If that is demanded of us by these corporate overlords, then they must be given the ultimatum to either demonstrate real patriotism to America and its people; or to be excluded from our markets.

And socialism, of course, must be dismissed out of hand, as it has been extensively proven to be disastrous, inefficient and inept.

Great, now we get a few days of FR’s best hopscotch players hopping to tell us that Rubio is awesome now that their last love Icarly is no longer awesome.

Next week when Rubios multiple amnesty/Schumer positions get brought back up, they will hop right back to carson pretending that his recent antijihadism is the most important thing ever and his anti 2A idiocy never really happened.

After which Kaisch will be the golden boy until Marco regains his rightful spot as the most conservative guy tha can WINNNNNNN!!!!!!

Insanity. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

The GOPe schmucks screwed up bigtime by setting up Florida as the first winner-take-all and this time around they were really planning on it being a big win and maybe an insurmountable win for Iguana One, Jebacita.

But all that’s backfired and they are sh*ing their pants at the thought that Trump might take Florida’s big prize AFTER coming out on top in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

And with Jebacita sinking into the swamps in Florida, the GOPe schmucks HAVE to push Rubio.

I strongly believe that Walker’s inane “lead from behind” speech in which he urged others “follow his lead” and to drop out was aimed right at Iguana One, Jebacita.

“So says a trusted D.C. Whispers source on the issue of Donald Trump dropping out by late 2015/early 2016 which if true, would certainly appear to finalize the path to the GOP nomination for Marco Rubio.”

Au contraire - I think a lot of Trump supporters will go to Cruz before Rubio. My only concern is that Trump won’t back Cruz because of the “kill the DC establishment” theme of Cruz’ campaign - Trump has made his fortune buying influence with those very people.

Well, the establishment wanted to take out Trump .. and USED Fiorina to try. It hasn’t worked .. and now they will need to take her out.

The same thing will happen to Rubio. He’s now going to start attacking Trump .. and he will either not survive after Trump gets through with him and his Gang of 8 junk. Or, he will end up losing a lot of his support .. and then the establishment will have to choose somebody else.

Geeeeee .. all you candidates who are chasing the applause of the establishment .. be careful .. if you’re going to start cooking with evil .. you should expect to get forked.

That’s why he met with Priebus. He wanted a guarantee that if wins the nomination the GOP would be donating to his campaign just like it would Jeb Bush or the others. Trump wanted to make sure he’d be getting that same $300-400 million the RNC handed over to Mitt Romney in 2012...

Have to admit, that is a fair concern. After seeing the way the GOP-E has sacrificed entire Senate seats (i.e. Cuccinelli, O'Donnell) because they didn't like the candidate chosen by the voters, it's not a stretch to presume that they'd also withhold funds from Trump should he win the nomination.

To me, Rubio comes off as a wet-behind-the-ears school boy. He has no “Presidential” qualities and would get smacked down like a child by the dems nominee. He’s a sure recipe for a loss.

At least the Republican wing of the Uniparty is no longer pretending at who they are and what they want. I’m soooo glad I got out the Republican Party last spring.
If they do get Senior Amnesty the nomination I’m not voting on that line PERIOD.

I thought from the very beginning that the RINOS and GOPe’s would go with Rubio if little Jebby flamed out.

It all rings true to me. Walker isn’t smart enough to be subtle about not telegraphing what the donor class told him. He spilled the beans that he was told to get out to help consolidation around another GOPe-favored candidate.

Trump has succeeded at one thing and that is destroying Jeb Bush. By doing that he has increased the GOP’s chances of winning next year, because Bush was a terrible candidate who was inexplicably given a 100 million. Rubio has a far better chance of winning.

Trump has subtly telegraphed many, many, many times in speeches and interviews that he is very reluctant to spend much of his own money on his campaign. He didn’t become a billionaire by spending money easily. He will constantly be making excuses for himself as to why he “doesn’t need to” spend money all the way to November and will cut himself off at the knees. If he’s up in the polls he’ll say he doesn’t need to spend because he’s already on top. If he’s down in the polls he’ll say he doesn’t need to spend because he’s going to lose no matter what.

It needs to become a Cruz/Rubio race. Conservatives putting their hope in anyone else but Cruz is setting themselves up to lose the primary.

To think, all the GOPe ever had to do was support the rule of law and they would be the front runner of their silly old party. Oh well.
