Today the political landscape just became infinitely more interesting. In order to understand the current landscape, and simultaneously explain what it means, we must weave in and out of history because this tripwire alert needs reference points.
At the most basic of level we must remember candidate Marco Rubio was never supposed to be the GOPe's standard bearer for the professional republican party. It simply was not his role.
A single-term, 44-year-old, freshman senator, with a wife, four kids, no accumulated wealth and no executive experience, does not independently mount a long-shot bid to become the chief executive office holder amid the power-elites who run the highest political offices.
Rubio was/is 'a means' - to an end. Rubio does not represent the end goal, he never did.

“The RNC/GOPe are now facing the looming probability that Chris Christie was a mole, an insurgent, the entire time.”
This is deeeeeeelicious!!!!!
“Interesting analysis by Sundance here.”
You’re right. Thanks.
Christie was the only one out of the RINO care-bear half-ass candidates to say the Dreamers:”What the hell are you complaining about, you are not 2nd class citizensh, you are not citizens”.
Ive never seen any other RINO say this.
Did he actually say that?
I’d like to see that myself.
Someone that I follow on Facebook put it even simpler. Rubio is just the latest AVATAR for the Gop-e.
It is a perfect description.
good to see Christie back trump. A governor who’s worked with democrats in NJ perfect for trump. trump will be encouraged to work with democrats not fight them
I may be off base here in going with my gut, but the donors are not idiots. True, the globalist sorts have had a lot to be excited about, but Trump appears to have seen where that is going to go, that it won’t live up to the hype, and that there is a decided downside, I don’t think he’s alone. It also cannot be lost on them what a bunch of buffoons these party apparatchiks are. Would any of these people be tolerated within their own organizations? No.
Marco bit Jeb! in the butt, that’s a really strange way to treat the anointed one IMO. If they bring out warmed over leftovers from the last funeral/campaign, it can only mean that they are once again planning to punt to the democrats.
Wow! Very interesting!
I’m cautiously optimistic that the number might finally be up for these completely horrible people.
This is amazing analysis. I read every word of the article.
I don’t see Rush quite getting it today as he still likes Rubio but Rush did say Christie rocked the establishment and his exacting words were daggers.
Christie has to be VP...I don’t see him not. I don’t like hi as he is still GOPe to me.
Trump fantasy cabinet takes shape: V.P, Christie, Commerce Sec Van Jones...
Van Jones...are you drunk?
Christie is not going to be VP. Everyone is speculating on his motives but nobody haven’t said nothing yet.
I don’t think so. Won’t Trump need someone from a Southern or Western state?
Christy Attorney General
Trump will just say, anybody who hates Glenn Beck as much as I do is a friend of mine. it’s a brilliant political move to reach out to young blacks, and he’d be the best Commerce Secretary since Ron Brown.
I won’t say no VP for Christie, but there are other possibilities too. Still too early to make predictions.
Trump needs to do well next week and on the 15th to make things more clear. Still too out of focus, with too many variables in play
Sundance makes an interesting case. We shall see how accurate his predictions are. He’s made some interesting predictions that have come to pass. So he has a solid track record.
The problem here is the Rumsfeld paradigm. He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He is speculating on what he perceives. He may well be right.....or not.
I agree.
NYC + NJ is not a good geographic balance.
I still think with a black female Ohioan like Omarosa, Trump would run the table.
