Is Rubio Running a New Kind of Campaign?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | December 22, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Mark Steyn sat in for Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel last night, had Ted Cruz on, and they had this little back and forth going on.

STEYN: Since you mentioned Rush, Rush a couple of days ago on his radio show said basically, after the budget deal, what is the Republican Party for? Every other senator running for president -- Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, you -- managed to vote on this budget deal. Marco Rubio didn't. What's with the absence?

CRUZ: Well, listen, I'll let Marco defend his own voting record. What I've tried to do is every day honor the promise that I made to the men and women who elected me. So that has been -- you look at this omnibus deal, this was a betrayal. It was disgraceful.

RUSH: Oh, cool. Well, hey, let's open those up. I mean, you're just making more work for me if you just leave those there in the boxes. Well, the five FedEx things just showed up and they brought 'em in here and they left 'em in the boxes. Here, hang on a minute. Take this. Here, it's a box cutter, bammo, there it is. Oops. Good catch.

Okay. I have been thinking about the campaign Rubio is running. (interruption) What are you laughing at? I was not being disrespectful. I don't have time here to play nice. I'm in the middle of a radio program and somebody says, "Here are the boxes." Well, big whoop, a lot of good that does me, they're not opened. I have to have the box cutter for somebody else to use, exactly.

Anyway, the Rubio campaign -- you know, people are talking about the fact he missed the vote, that he's not on the ground in a lot of these places, that he's not showing up, he's not doing the usual retail political campaign, and yet he's doing okay. And the theory is that it's a new day, it's a new era, what with online expanding, that the need to press the flesh is not nearly what it used to be with all the YouTube videos and everything else that you can do. But, essentially, what they have concluded, some of these analysts have concluded, what Rubio's actually doing is running a national campaign already rather than a series of primary campaigns.

And I stopped, you know what, I can see that. That makes some sense, and that it's an active strategy. They're trying to say Rubio is not serious, he's lazy, and others, no, no, no, it's not that, this is a new kind of campaign he's running. And missing the vote, so forth, 'cause of the way it was gonna go, it was gonna go.

Who gives a rat’s patootie what Rubio says?

Anymore than we care what Lindsey Graham and John McLame and the rest of the Gang of Eight have to say?

Ever watch him during the debates? His sweating and blinking gives him an instant “liar” look to him.

No, it’s not new. Many have run losing campaigns in the past.

Not me...since, at any given moment, he could be lying. He is, at his essence, a LIAR.

So Rubio is running a NO SHOW campaign!

Brave Sir Rubio ran away
Bravely ran away away
When the Budget reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Rubio turned about
And gallantly he chickened out

Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Rubio!

Rubio says and does whatever his puppet masters tell him to say and do.

Yep, I still fully expect the GOP(e) to pull some funny business at the convention, and try to circumvent a Trump and / or Cruz. nomination At this point, I bet they have briefed Rubio on the plan. Let’s see how it unfolds.

“Ever watch him during the debates? His sweating and blinking gives him an instant “liar” look to him.”

And his fake grin looks more like grimacing than grinning to me.

Rubio is a spoiled brat, does whatever benefits him. Ran for Senate, won with Tea Party, totally betrayed them, decided he didn’t like Senate so no second term, doesnt’ show up for first term, etc.

Gang of eight was just another pit stop for this POS.

Rubio's campaign is really not unique. It's the same strategy being followed by Hillary Clinton. The plan is to campaign through scripted video media spots and television interview appearances while keeping encounters with random voters to a minimum. His PACs will handle the really big lies attacking his opponents for him.

There would be some very embarrassing confrontations with voters challenging him on his past betrayals and lies if Rubio were to shake hands and introduce himself to hundreds of Iowans at the local diner or at church meetings in the community.

As far as content in the Rubio campaign, it's the same as his run for the U.S. Senate. Rubio will once again look you straight in the eyes and make promises in a dastardly deception followed by a vile breach of trust with the voters once elected. Nothing new there at all.
