Brawl Breaks Out In GOP Race, Below The Trump Tier
foxnews.com ^ | December 30

Posted on 12/30/2015 8:39:45 PM PST by Helicondelta

Now, with Trump training his focus on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, the rest of the pack is fighting to rise above. The latest round involves Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

The super PAC backing Bush is out with a new ad blasting Rubio for missing a Senate meeting after the Paris terror attacks - and another contrasting Bush's gubernatorial record against those of Christie and Kasich.

"Politics first, that's the Rubio way," the first ad says, slamming Rubio for fundraising while missing meetings and hearings on the Hill.

Rubio has long battled criticism of his attendance record in the Senate. In 2015, he has missed about 35 percent of roll call votes, according to GovTrack.us. That's more than any of the other senators running for president.

"Dude, show up to work," Christie told a crowd in Iowa Tuesday, ribbing Rubio for missing a spending bill vote.

Rubio, speaking with Fox News, defended his missed votes on Wednesday. He said Washington is "completely broken" and "more than half the things that happen in Washington are just for show or for talk."

As for Christie, he said, "He's never in New Jersey. He's gone half the time."

Damn, if doesn’t look like Yeb is undercover campaigning for Trump and Cruz. May not be his intention, but probable result.

Pretty patriotic of him to go down exposing the petty grifters.

Cherry picked rallies don’t matter, only the election does. Fact is Cruz is winning in Iowa, 2nd nationally ( and close in some states) and Trump is ahead nationally.

Sadly enough, I can’t take credit for that one: it’s known as Sayre’s law:

I agree. A Cruz gal called today to remind me to vote in March for Ted. We had a long conversation (40 minutes) about Ted credential’s including his education and standing up to the Washington cartel. I told her that despite all that, Trump is the only guy that has brought serious issues to the American public. Further, I told he we need a bare-knuckled, street fighter with brass balls to fumigate Washington and get on with the business of defending this country, recinding excutive orders, and eliminating 2/3 of the department and agencies like DOE, EPA, HUD, Energy, etc. finally I said I’m for a Trump/Cruz ticket because Cruz can’t get done what Trump can do.

God, I hope so. Cruz can continue the cleanup after Trump retires in four.

That is exactly what I have envisioned: DJT gets bored/burned out in 2020. We need to primary the RINOs.

LOL Pardon me, did you say BOTH parents are US citizens? A true American who wants to make America Great for Great Americans. The man remembers just what our America was once and like others, wants to keep that America for his children.
Go Donald!

Agree with you on that one. The sooner the better. Before Cruzers drum out all his support and leave him with nothing for bargaining power. Trump has had the opportunity several times, but he owns the game and we play by his rules. Though he won’t say, do believe his choice has been made. Fingers crossed he chooses well. Thus far there are no complaints :-)

Man, the Kasich ad in the article just nukes Yeb?, as if he needed any more.

Pitiful and funny at the same time.

America as a whole just doesn’t have the enthusiasm for Cruz.

Part of the reason is the media is double tapping Cruz .. because the left is more afraid of Cruz than they are of Trump.

And .. never forget your comment is exactly what the left and the media were saying about Reagan .. geeeeee .. are you from the left too ..??
