Rubio’s rise and the end of the Bush dynasty
Yahoo Politics ^ | 2/4 | Matt Bai

Posted on 02/04/2016 7:35:02 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

The day after the Iowa caucuses, I watched as the Shakespearean drama underlying this year’s Republican race — a classic tale of friendship and betrayal — played out its final act on either edge of New Hampshire.

In Keene, close to the Vermont border, I joined the small group of reporters who came to hear Jeb Bush speak to a polite audience of workers at a grocery wholesaler. Bush was, as ever, reasoned and respectful, but he seemed a little frustrated as he compared his old Florida protégé to President Obama.

Marco Rubio is “gifted as a politician, an unbelievable orator,” Bush said. But “the presidency is a leadership position. It’s not a backbencher, where you argue endlessly over amendments.”

Well, it's been dead for a while, but maybe this will nail it shut. I just wish we could do the same for the Clintons...as I watch these two idiots argue over who is MORE progressive.

The bottom line is - Hillary is Progressive. Bernie is a Communist.

Hillary’s Washington press corpse is strangely reluctant to laugh at Bush, Graham, Fiorina, Pataki as fail (er, flail) around getting voter attention.

Telling sign, isn’t it?

Rubio will be the Bush candidate, probably in a week, but the Republican primary voters aren’t smart enough to deduce that.

Do you think Rubio is the designated loser to Mrs. Bill, the popular former Arkansan “first lady”, who seemingly refuses to visit AR.

No, no I don't so Rubio is Bush's dynasty. More like the PEOPLE controlling (and now pushing the Rubio story) are the SAME PEOPLE who ran with and controlled the Bush->Dole->Bush->McCain->Romney->Bush /Rubio/Pataki/Christie/Graham dynasty.

“More like the PEOPLE controlling (and now pushing the Rubio story) are the SAME PEOPLE who ran with and controlled the Bush->Dole->Bush->McCain->Romney->Bush /Rubio/Pataki/Christie/Graham dynasty.

Bingo! The SAME people....Grover Norquist, Cesar Conda, Club for growth, the Kochs, Microsoft....

Rube-o gets to take the head of the GOP-e ship because unlike ¿Yeb?, he’s a competent backstabber and not a retard. He knows exactly how to manipulate the conservative ratings groups such as ACU (heavily push amnesty, make conservative votes on minor issues on which his vote is irrelevant as to whether or not the bill passes), and is also good at concealing his cuck status from the general public.

Rubio might surge in pointyhead New Hampshire but Rubio will have his ass handed to him in the entire south. I sure as hell hope Cruz hired a nasty political hit squad to take Rubio campaign out. Any Rino deserves no less.

Hell will freeze over before this Floridian will vote for that short, sweaty sellout Rubio.

2016 election won’t have four million sit home if Rubio is nom, they will have fourteen million sit home. I will be one of them.

I will stay home. In this case it would only confirm to me that it really is all over thinking that we can save this place with a vote.
