I love the smell of Republican fratricide in the morning.

That being said, letā€™s not fool ourselves ā€” on election day, heā€™ll slink into his local polling station and vote for all the other wingnut lunatic Kochian Republicans up and down the ballot.

Wonder what Rubioā€™s car dealer sugar daddy Norman Braman will have to say on Wednesday?

ā€œA sitting senator who won election with very strong numbers is about to be defeated by Donald Trump for winner take all, 99 delegates.ā€

The same sitting Senator who told his constituents that he hates his job as their Senator and rarely shows up for it. I canā€™t imagine why he couldnā€™t pull ot a "surprise win.ā€™

Iā€™m glad the guy draws the line somewhere. But itā€™s like the death of a thousand cuts where the victim somehow fails to notice the first 999.

Yeah. The Republican party is about to put us in a Pinto and rear end us all.

Not necessarily, I have some moderate republican friends who refused to vote for McCain when he chose caribou bitchy, and there are many who wonā€™t vote for him.

Short Rich AutoNation Wingnut Owner: I will come right back to GOP once we have someone like Rubio, who can be easily manipulated. We want another Geroge Bush in there. Life was so much better at that time, especially for business such as mine.

You were all about using the psycho base to resist Obama until it looked like the castle was going to fall in on your head, a$$hole.

Gosh. Bold of you, dude. Still, the more (of your kind) the better. Just sit at home, stay ā€˜neutral.ā€™

His version of ā€œindependentā€ sure as hell sounds like my version of a Republican with a mild case of buyerā€™s remorse.

Heā€™s so up in arms heā€™s not going to vote for a candidate he doesnā€™t like. Wow.

If Switzerland were Austria in February 1938, then sure, the analogy works. Otherwise, heā€™s just another Daddy Warbucks who canā€™t find an honest politician.

Alright now I donā€™t have to feel guilty about tuning in to the AutoNation Bowl or whatever.

I donā€™t think the Switzerland reference meant heā€™d moved there, just a way of saying he was neutral. Which Switzerland tells the world it is, but not always.
