before flipping left in 2013

There was an article then that Corey Lewandowski was the person who flipped him.

The only reason they hate Ted is because he is one of them and used the Senate as a launch pad for his ambition.

The establishment is as healthy as ever and they will take this 2016 nomination.

The article places Rubio in the antiestablishment camp. The suggestion is that he is the least odious of the antiestablishment candidates to the establishment because of his squishy position on immigration. It’s an interesting twist to the discussions taking place on FR.

In Monday's Iowa caucus, Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the man most hated by the Republican establishment

He's also hated by many conservatives. How is this a badge of honor?

And now that he's fully displayed his dark side, outright stole an election, I think many of his fans aren't so enamored with him either.

Keep drinking the cool aid. The election is going almost exactly as the uniparty hoped it would. The so called outsider (Cruz) is taking out the real anti-establishment candidates (Carson, Trump) clearing a path for Rubio to win the nomination. Jeb was suppose to be the one but GOPe Rubio will do nicely.

It is by no means dead. Not when we have at least three candidates on the Republican slate conniving to pit the remaining two candidates’ constituents against one another with picayune arguments designed to distract us from the real evil. I won’t stand for it. I’ll defend both sides until we defeat these bastards.

Ben Shapiro turns my stomach and it started way before his support of Ted Cruz. Now he’s pushing Rubio? Sickening!

Rubio is a womanizer with lots of baggage (just like the Sink Emperor Bill Clinton).

If Rubio becomes the nominee, look for a huge scandal to break out just before the general election. The rats are holding the story back, for now.

I don’t think the establishment is dead. They will need to hear us breathing down their neck every day from here on out no matter who is elected. The problem is that they forget who is in charge the minute they get to Washington.

Rubio is the classic empty suit. He is a man with literally no accomplishments in his entire life. He has been in the U.S. Senate for 5 years and seldom bothers to show up.

He has never run a business or any other organization. He has never stood up for a cause or an idea. He has never demonstrated honor, integrity or courage under fire. Even Santorum, when endorsing Rubio, could not name a single accomplishment.

His only political action of note was joining the failed Gang of Eight to support almost complete amnesty for illegal immigrants with no requirement for border security or enforcement.

I can still remember him being metaphorically led around on a leash by Senator Chuck Schumer and others.

What he has done is get the Republican establishment to donate money to his campaign and get the MSM to support him.

Everyone’s pushing Rubio. It’s idiotic. A guy who will use his undeserved seat in the senate to push an America destroying anti constitutional policy with the likes of schumer. To be proud to stand next to schumer a moved exponentially worse than sitting next to pelosi for an earth day photo op is suddenly the Santorum favorite?

Rubio is a disaster with a ribbon and a bow on it

Rubio is a classic establishment guy. Fast talking no life experience no scruples no character no statesman worthy education

He will do anything for the bullies while buying their compliments. Including taking a dive against Hillary, which he would

Ben Shapiro’s hatred for TRUMP has him promoting “amnesty Rubio.” Does he not understand that amnesty is the most important issue in this election. Does he not understand that the sovereignty of the United States is at stake. Does he not understand that every other issue we can argue hinges on amnesty. Does he know what is going on at the border today. Rubio is the establishment...He is bought and paid for...Wake up Shipiro!
