Rubio and Trump are guilty of everything Cruz is currently being flayed for, if not exactly the same things then equivalent 'sins'.

Yet only Cruz is taking flak. The narrative has taken hold.

Textbook Alinsky. And I'm afraid its working.

Disappointed at the number of stooges falling in line. We will end up with what the collective we deserve.

As a guy who makes composite photoshops for fun, this image isn't meant to be deceptive or realistic, but symbolic. Clearly.

Besides, what's phony about the concept. Of course Rubio has shook Obama's hand, as has Cruz as has Trump.

The following old image is not meant to deceive but to create a symbolic representation of a true world condition.

oh my gosh, you really really need to stop.

Have a great day!

Even though the photo is faked, one would assume that at one time or another, Rubio has shaken hands with the President.

I believe that whether he did or didn't shake hands with Obama has nothing to do with his capabilities to be President.

Grow up people.

Politics is crazy scum stuff.

Fake photo, ok - everybody takes their dings and moves on to the next political quagmire and on and on until the voting stops. That’s politics.

Just so you know, I won’t be answering any more of your responses because of the state of your brain.

And here's the worst part about this whole mess.

The charge is accurate that Rubio is Mister Gang-of-Eight.

But because this ad was incompetently and dishonestly put together, he's now inoculated to a degree from that charge.

Thanks a LOT, Cruz and Cruz campaign staff.

Exactly. And Trump has had a few of his own unforced errors and his opponents sought to capitalize on them as well. You are right, also, the inoculation is to a degree only. Though I am quite happy about the entire turn of events ... sorry :)

Have a great day!

Rubio is emerging as the better man.

Rubio is a bald-faced, lying, backstabbing traitor and people think he's the better man? Cruz has a whole lot of splainin' to do. This election is not doing him any favors. He's got Michele Bachmann syndrome -- campaign death by consultants.

Actually, the link is really less kind to rubio than cruz .. I posted it for that reason, besides a chance to take a nibble at cruz. A twofer.

Have a great day!

Sadly, you have no concept of what happens in a campaign. Frauds like Donald Rubio depend upon your gullibility.

It is part of human psychology that when someone who claims to be (or is perceived as ) faultless makes a mistake, they are harassed much more than someone whom everyone knows isn’t perfect.

Look at Hillary. Tons of sins, and no one pays a bit of attention to her constant transgressions.

Stop what? Are you seriously admitting that you thought the Rubio/Obama picture was meant to be an actual photo? Who could be that stupid?

Nevermind, I can answer that myself by reading the posts on this thread.

No, the gist of the commercial, that Mao and Rubio worked hand in hand would be the meme of the day. Sure a few would mention it, but it would be forgotten by the next day. Go vote for your con man.

Actually, my thinking was a little more sardonic and nuanced and not as clunky as yours ... but I did have a purpose in my mind with my post which obviously has eluded you ...

I know exactly what you mean about having to read and respond to stupid replies ... bummer.

Have a great day!

Every time a critical American issue has come up in the past, Trump has either been AWOL or opposed to conservatism. Why do you suppose he donated to Reid, Emmanuel, Schumer, Pelosi and the Rotten Clintons, among many other demons? B/c he doesn’t give a damn about you, OR the US Constitution. Wake up, Friend.

Ted is done. He may win Texas. But that's the only other state he has a chance to win in. No surprise at all.

I agree, but I'll just be glad when it's said and done. I don't like assuming.

Have a great day!
