An all-out assault on Sen. Marco Rubio by groups aligned with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is angering GOP senators, who fear it could hurt the party's chances of capturing the White House.
Right to Rise, a pro-Bush super PAC, has spent an estimated $20 million against Rubio. It is expected to launch a new ad this weekend featuring a clip of former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who endorsed Rubio Tuesday, fumbling to name one of his accomplishments.
One senator who has endorsed Bush, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), is urging the PAC to rein in its attacks.

Ouch, that’s gotta leave a mark.
So they want to make Rubio untouchable
But they aren’t asking to reign in attacks on other candidates. The GOPe showing their fairness and their commitment to a fair primary /s
Reminds me how they respected voters wishes since 2014.
Exactly. Let the establishment have their food fight among themselves. Better for us. Seriously, I think Jeb is jealous of Rubio, and that’s what all this is about.
Jeb attacking Rubio will just boost Rubio’s chances with those who view Jeb as the consummate establishment pick.
Exactly!
Rubio is the Establishment's new guy.
He is the new prince waiting to be king and the old prince, Bush, does not like it. As for Orrin, tell me what to do ole NCofC and I will do it. Oh, and thank you for your generous pay**f, er donation.
I think they all should rein in their attacks on each other and attack Barack Obama, Mrs. Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.
The Cheap Labor Express is unhappy that their previous Designated Loser has not gotten the memo that the new Designated Loser shoud be left alone
Yeb! sees himself as Mario Rubco’s protege and is relly ticked off that his protege has stabbed him in the back.
Mario Rubco is a backstabber, everyone should know this after his Gang activities.
Never give more knives to backstabbers
It isn’t R vs D that matters.
It is the citizens vs The Cheap Labor Express
They have managed to force us to vote for amnesty cadidates since the last amnesty.
No more
It’s not like being a sweaty, whiny, lying, little boy either, Rubes!
The GOPe Establishment wants to protect THE CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS ... that’s why they back Rubio.
I’d like all the personal attacks stopped....
