Wrong Drinking Buddies?

Well for one, penis envy wasn’t a good strategy.
All of this was probably done on Romney’s advice and direction. Dealing with Romney is always career ending.
Nonsense, Rubio does not embody sunny optimism, but Trump certainly does, in the same way that Reagan brought a withering light and heat against scumbags and nattering nabobs
No, what drives Trump’s candidacy is what did in Marco. And Jeb.
Borders.
I like Rubio, but he never was able to overcome his “gang of 8” betrayal. I’m not sure what he has to do to get past it, those things are hard to shed because people have long memories.
I notice that Fox likes to quote polls showing that people don’t care about borders, and yet their ace candidates bit the dust and Trump, for all his antics and defects, is forgiven everything because he is perceived as firm like granite on the border.
That is why Cruz is still in the race, he was the original borders guy before Trump ran away with that issue. Cruz has other things going for him as well, which is why I still see him as the better man between the two...
But the electorate cares about borders, and they have no patience for anyone likely to bring in another million jihadis and their families. So its Trump, or Cruz, or nobody.
Sour grapes, Ken Blackwell, on the pretense of mourning and scorning Marco Rubio.
IIRC, Ken Blackwell was also once thought to be a “rising star.”
Wrong Drinking Buddies?
Yes. I agree. He is confident, too, and people pick up on that.
Marco made his mistake when he joined the Gang of Eight Traitors.
He deserves his upcoming political banishment.
How quickly we forget that this incident came out of the disgraceful Cruz/Rubio tag-team against Trump in that debate. Rubio was vilified, and Cruz walked away unscathed. I figure it's because it will be easier to take Cruz down later in the game.
Rubio was doing quite well when he was being respectful of Trump.
“No one can honestly say Trump cares about people who worry about how to pay the mortgage or put kids through college. “
Really?
This is what passes for wisdom among the journalist class?
Terrible.
So terrible.
You’re fired.
Stopped reading right there. Rubio is nothing like Reagan, and never will be.
I recently heard Ken Blackwell on Steve Deace, by accident.
As all segments of the Steve Deace show do, the segment began with Deace asking: “Does Donald Trump have any virtues or redeeming qualities whatsoever, or do you agree with me that he is the most evil, wicked, despicable human being who has ever lived?”
No surprise then, that Ken Blackwell is continuing his campaign to warn us that Trump is a professional mud-slinger who wants to blow up the world!
I want Trump to have his fingers on the nuke buttons because I WANT HIM TO NUKE ISLAMIC STRONGHOLDS. REPEATEDLY AND WITH EXTREME ARDOR
Marco Rubio may go on to much more successful applications of his energy and talent in the future, but this lesson should be hammered home for all time - choose your enemies carefully, and when engaging in sparring, be sure you know the ground rules beforehand. There is no “safety word” in politics, calling a time out just because you are on the very short end of the stick. Just never allow the other person that much leverage in the first place.
The Donald, to his credit, is very good at finding and applying leverage on his opponents, and the degree he brings it to bear is entirely dependent on the rival’s ability to avoid the probability that a fulcrum for that lever may be established in your own words or responses.
Performing on a high wire without a net may be spectacular from the point of view of the audience, since the consequences of even the smallest of errors is greatly magnified. The real thrill is seeing the recovery from those errors before things cascade into a catastrophe.
First off, Marco can’t think for himself.
Secondly, Telling everyone he shouldn’t have gone there tells me he was already there.
Third, I’m glad he showed his true inner soul for the fake TEA Party guy he claimed to be.
Fourth and Final, thankfully he showed us when face to face with a real working man he is still only a child in a man’s body. Marco has no concept of the real world.
Cruz went to the border and handed out teddy bears and soccer balls to the invading swarms
“Marco made his mistake when he joined the Gang of Eight Traitors.
He deserves his upcoming political banishment.”
Ditto for Cruze! Because when you peel the onion, both of them are really La Raza Lite. They put their ethnicity ahead of their country’s best interests. Just look at what Cruze and his wife have been involved with with respect to this BS North American Alliance or whatever they call it at the moment. They both want to sublimate American soverignty for an EU-like Western Hemisphere.
