Too bad Rubio, we’re way past you now that Ted Cruz has risen to the top with his backers already gathering 37 million in the last two weeks!
History lesson.
Movin’ on!

“I wonder whether Marco realizes he probably loses as many ‘English’ votes as he gains ‘Spanish’ votes when he gives dual-language speeches.”
The offset is MUCH, MUCH, worse. Probably closer to 5 to 1. We’re talking very few people supporting him just due to Amnesty and huge numbers of conservatives, yet again, sitting things out, and just as many other nominal Republicans voting Democrats, since there wouldn’t be much difference between the parties...and the Democrats HAND OUT GOODIES.
The other option is what happened in Texas and throughout the South in 2014, when Republicans ran hard on border security and the “invasion” from the South. Their worst numbers were in Texas, where Republicans ‘only’ won 75% of the white vote and ‘only’ 45% of the Hispanic vote. They did better in other states, hitting 89% of whites in Alabama. Even with the large numbers of blacks throughout the South and the HUGE NUMBERS of Hispanics in states like Texas and New Mexico, the Democrats down here still have NO IDEA what hit them.
Republicans - follow my advice, fight for the WHITE VOTE, give them SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR, rather than just hoping they will hold their nose and vote against Hillary (hint, that never works).
...but it does seem like I’m talking to a brick wall on this, as if Texas and the rest of the South never even voted in 2014.
25 states provide voters with ballots in Spanish.
But yes time will tell.
My pleasure !
you and I know he's a flip flopper, but the majority of GOP voters don't know that.
I see no evidence of Jeb and Marco going at it "tooth and nail", rather there's some mild criticism.
To the average voter that doesn't know much, he's telegenic, speaks well, and worst of all fakes sincerity the best of any candidate.
You'd be surprised how many people know that he's a flip flopper and how many have NEVER forgiven him for the GANG OF 8 AMNESTY crapola.
I haven't forgotten that travesty of a bill, and won't forget. I think you'd be surprised how many don't know he's a flip flopper.
Just because we're on FR doesn't mean everyone else is.
Telegenic, well spoken, fakes sincerity better than any other candidate. He's the biggest obstacle to Cruz becoming the nominee.
I DO "keep up"; I suggest that you do so as well and not attempt smarmy, puerile stabs at sticking your finger in my eye.
Yeah, only YOU have a REAL LIFE.
Only YOU speak with others who don't post, nor read a site such as this.
And YOU started the nonsensical phrase about keeping up. You might want to look back at YOUR post, that I was...yes....mocking....and rightfully so.
Here's the bottom line: You couldn't handle someone who disagreed with you, you might want to rethink what that means.
I know exactly what I posted to you; I was making fun of your teensy repost of of one part of what I posted to you. How ironic.
You claimed that few people outside of this site know what's what. I posted, factually, a refutation to that....in detail.
So....you admit you started the insults and want to continue dragging this into the mud.
Then you claim your own few experiences as "factually, a refutation".
Good luck to you, you really ought to do well with that thin skin, it seems to fit well.
And this "conversation" is done, I won't even read your reply as it will waste another five seconds of time spent well elsewhere......
DIRT! Go to hell, traitor! I will never vote for you.
I agree.
