This is a quandary for the establishment.

Do they allow their only viable candidate to be attacked by the other establishment candidates?

Bush is in a box. If he doesn’t go after Rubio, in the face of his funds being cut off, then he is dead and might as well get out.

Rubio is a clone of GW Bush, a compassionate conservative. His big weakness is amnesty, but that was the same with GW who almost split his party over it during his presidency.

Bush is finished. The real question is whether he will take down Rubio as well.

Rubio will drop once Cruz and Trump expose his recent pro-illegal immigration interview in Spanish.

I hope that Rubio and Jeb destroy each other. Unfortunately, Trump and Cruz seem much better at it than the establishment candidates, who in the end will do what the RNC tells them to do and coalesce behind a perceived winner (i.e. they wanted Jeb, but Rubio will be fine too - both would be George W’s third term).

Thats probably a good analysis. Rubio would be more palatable if he were not a shamnesty guy.

Well first Cruz and Trump need to quit fighting and focus on Rubio.

Trump also needs to stop crying about losing in Iowa.

” His big weakness is amnesty”

“Weakness”?

It’s not his weakness. It defines what he has been about ever since he was Speaker of the Florida House.

Amnesty and Rubio are inseparable. It’s not some mistake made by a novice.

Rubio has another thing common with GWB. Rubio is eager to start another war in the middle-east.

Rubio needs to throw in the towel and join all his friends back at the mosque.
