,
Marco Rubio a conservative?


Put the remote down and slowly step away from the Lying TV

The Media was looking for someone that would enter into a backroom agreement to lose politely, and while taking on the right (ala McCain).

Rubio was created in a Network studio.

Poppy and Dubya only got 12 years between them because Bubba the Slug beat him out of a second term.
One would think that would cause bad blood, but they adopted him instead.....

They were all on the same team from the start; we were the only ones who were fooled. Donald Trump forced the UniParty to reveal itself as its pretend "enemies" united to oppose him.

Josh, so you saw some things you didn’t like at CPAC so your going to dump on Trump and SAY your quitting the Republican Party.

So, your a quitter! That’s the bottom line.

Populism: he says it like it’s a dirty word.

pop·u·lism

noun
Support for the concerns of ordinary people.
“It is clear that your populism identifies with the folks on the bottom of the ladder.”
The quality of appealing to or being aimed at ordinary people.
“Art museums did not gain bigger audiences through a new populism.”

CPAC is fake conservatism.

Well said. You’re quite right. If the Sasse/Rubio/McCain/etc., are your UniParty preference, please don’t let the screen door hit you in the butt, on your way out.

By the grace of God there is TRUMP.

“Chants of “lock her up” res­onated fre­quently throughout the hall. “

This is what really bothered this guy — another Democrat infiltrator in the GOP. We are definitely better off that they unmask themselves and let us know who they really are.

Thank you, President Trump. MAGA.

[Scooter100]

Hey, Bill-3, take a flying leap at yourself.

[RitaOK]

We know you didn’t write it. We’re talking not to you, but the Hillsdale dork.🤓

[gogeo]

Thank you Josh, for giving us the benefit of your youth and inexperience.

[Major Matt Mason]

that traditional conservatives such as Sens. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, and Marco Rubio, R-Florida

Stopped reading right there. Sasse isn't remotely a conservative, while Rubio might have some conservative leanings but isn't completely reliable.

[KavMan]

Guess this guy is a #NeverTRUMPer like Bill Kristol, George Will & Bret Stephens LOL

Good riddens

"Instead, former leader of the UK Inde­pen­dence Party Nigel Farage gave an awkward, poorly pre­pared speech that pan­dered to the anti-European Union sen­timent of Trump’s base and praised his own endorsement of the “wildly suc­cessful” pres­ident."

OK. I did some websearching and confirmed that this is the newspaper of Hillsdale College and not a Russian troll lookalike. I was able to navigate from the Hillsdale homepage to this article. Since this is a case of Poe's Law (the real thing indistinguishable from a parody), I felt it necessary to do some due diligence and make sure. Larry Arnn's weekly interviews with Hugh Hewitt were the beginnings of a red flag; and now this takes the cake.

Hillsdale College now joins the Cato Institute as another Anti-American bullcrap institution to which I will no longer be sending $200/year.

Bill,
U can’t be serious !!!

[gunsequalfreedom]

Why do people always have to throw a tantrum when they leave? Why not just go?

[Maudeen]

Maybe Hillsdale is going the way of Wheaton College.

[Rinnwald]

[Pelham]

So.. this is Ben Shapiro’s twin?

[Hostage]

Beat you by four years.

I’d say they didn’t care that much since Clinton advanced their open borders dreams, but I don’t remember Bubba pushing it with near the fervor of Little Bush. It took a Republican who was raised by an illegal nanny to really get things going.
