"I think it goes back to what I’ve said before, and that is a willingness to say or do anything,

Short Rubio: I am enraged as that right belongs exclusive to ME; not to Cruz, Trump etc…

Dang. Each and every guy on their side has a huge ego and a huge projector screen.

All Republican candidates are liars and frauds, simple as that.

All one needed to do was watch one or two of Rubio’s Iowa commercials to realize that Rubio has no room to complain an example of point your finger at someone else so no one looks at me.

“I think it goes back to what I’ve said before, and that is a willingness to say or do anything,…”


“One of the things I’m going to do on my first day is office is I will put the prestige and power of the presidency behind a constitutional convention of the states,” Rubio said as he campaigned in Iowa. “You know why? Because that is the only way that we are ever going to get term limits on members of Congress or the judiciary and that is the only way we are ever going to get a balanced-budget amendment.”

Is there a universally respected economist anywhere in the country willing to defend the feasibility of enacting and enforcing a balanced budget?

Trevor Noah thinks that sCruze would ‘sell his mother’ to get an advantage…

that’s only half true… sCruz seems like the sort of person that would sell his father to Satan if he thought it would give him and advantage…

Title of Thesis:

Republican attitudes about dirty political tricks: The failure of self-awareness in the conservative mind.

YOU really should take a look at the mirror before you utter such crap ??

daveyjones64 · February 4, 2016, 3:39pm

Which is more spot on than you may realize. Rubio probably benefited as much from confusion among Carson’s supporters as Cruz did.

ohboy · February 4, 2016, 3:43pm

Rubio might want to tread carefully here…

He says that like it’s a bad thing!

azjude · February 4, 2016, 3:49pm

Yeah, he’s a gop/bag, just like you!

When I first came to the USA I heard a guy use the phrase “it takes one to know one”. We had no equivalent to it where I grew up but I thought it was a great expression. Doubly so when poll calls another poll down.

azjude · February 4, 2016, 3:50pm

Wait, didn’t that already happen?

khaaannn · February 4, 2016, 3:55pm

While Rubio will merely “Say Anything” but do “Nothing” (at least in the Senate.)

emilianoelmexicano · February 4, 2016, 3:59pm

Of the three, Cruz, Trump or Rubio, I believe that the latter would be the easiest to defeat in the General.

‘unlike me when I’m wearing my flamenco boots while pandering to my audience.’

doremus_jessup · February 4, 2016, 4:19pm

“Obviously we’ve all seen the reports of the rumors that he spread about Ben Carson, and we know those weren’t accurate. And I thought it was unfair to Ben,”

Why is Rubio dividing Americans like this?

mantan · February 4, 2016, 4:41pm

I hear this isn’t Rubio’s first male pile but it is the first with clothes…
