'They Can't Lift the Hammer': Mika Mocks Rubio/Cruz with GE Commercial
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/24/2016 4:14:31 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Have you seen the GE commercial? Millenial son informs mom and dad that he has gotten a job at GE. Old-fashioned dad is enthusiastic: "proud of you, son. GE! Manufacturing!" He hands son "granpappy's" heavy old hammer. Son gently explains that rather than building "powerful machines," he'll be writing computer code. Disappointed dad: "he can't lift the hammer." Mom, with more compassion than conviction in her voice, consoles son: "it's okay though: you're gonna change the world."

On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski used that "change the world" line to mock Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz in the face of their underwhelming performance in the Nevada caucuses, in which Donald Trump exceeded their combined vote total. Rubbing it in, Mika also echoed dad's dagger: "they can't lift the hammer." Dr. Freud, care to explain the symbolism?

My first thought on the topic title was they left out the terms “and Sickle” after the word Hammer.

Knowing what he knows now, would Marco Rubio still help Islamic terrorists topple Libya?

But in 2011, hoping to brandish his foreign policy credentials for an eventual presidential run, Marco Rubio became one of the most vocal supporters of Hillary Clinton’s War on Libya…

Gang of 8 its like nominating Romney against Obama and Hillary

Anybody who's ever built a machine with parts of sufficient mass to require a sledgehammer to move them.

The Trumpanzees all watch MSDNC to get their news. That must be why they support the liberal democrat from NYC?

Perhaps she should try to lift the “hammer” before she laughs at others about it. Her bio doesn’t show that she has done anything useful.

Yes, it’s truly amazing. FReepers are applauding liberal Mika and trashing Levin, Limbaugh, and Sowell. All in alleigence to their orange-haired NYC puppet master.

Ever driven by a rail yard, refinery, or power plant or the fab yards where their parts are made? It’s still takes muscle to get big equipment properly installed and aligned for welding and bolting. The noise during construction is deafening. You don’t work there if you don’t like the sound of shrieking metal and the smells of burning metal.

I never thought I would see the day that FR would be overrun with liberal demonrat supporters.

Isn't it sad that, by allowing themselves to become a fully owned subsidiary of the Democrats, and stabbing conservatives in the back time and time again, that there's so much anger out there for the once great GOP?

I guess I should have known that from watching Gold Rush.

Not if you're Todd Hoffman. Then you just yell at people and get them to do your work into your walkie-talkie and scream "What the Frick?" when stuff breaks.

Yeah. But those guys were amateurs. I worked in huge power plants in the 70s. You simply cannot believe the scale of those machines.
