Seems like a hit piece on Rubio to me. Other Opinions?
“Seems like a hit piece on Rubio to me. “
It could be a media ‘two-fer’ on both Rubio and Trump. The media who don’t want to look into the question can’t seem to stop asking Trump now that he’s introduced it. They’re not pursuing his China tariff or Middle Eastern oil fields proposals. It’s all birth certificate all the time.
They are also trying to pin down every last Republican on this question now. From their view, to hold it against them later. Or to put them in the (crackpot) ‘birther’ box.
In the sense that the Tea Party lifted Rubio and brought him into office, he answer was exactly right. The issues that brought in the GOP were economic, not the BC questions. Can anyone think of a single candidate last Fall who ran on the BC question? Was there a single Tea Party candidate who didn’t run primarily on the econonmy?
If The Donald hadn’t made the BC a topic now permissible for discusseion in ‘proper company’ (i.e., the MSM), and Rubio himself had brought it up, he’d have been painted with the ‘birther’ brush and the people who wanted him to go to Washington to stop the Obama agenda and get the economy under control would have been mighty upset, asking Rubio “why are you talking about this?”
Rubio might have eligibility problems, too. I want candidates to the most powerful office vetted more carefully. If the LSM digs into Jindal and Rubio, then there's more pressure for them to finally do their jobs as it pertains to zerO.
I personally won't look the other way on this issue, even if it's a candidate I like.
