...He took out the trash
Sen. Cruz is no Marco Rubio.
And Marco Rubio is no Ted Cruz.
What does that mean?
I would like to hear that answer.
I've sat directly across a table from Ted Cruz listening to him talk four over an hour without notes to a group of about 25 local Republican activists. He's much more impressive than Rubio.
Excellent! Bookmarked for future use.
Would you mind explaining that comment in further detail?
Based on the historical vice presidential candidate debate “clips”, the recent “appearance” of Rubio on Rush (and Rubio’s attempt to form a manage a trois with Linda and Juan) and this cogent Cruz presentation (and my general interest in the more subtle end of political humor), you’ll have to puzzle out your own conclusion.
Not entirely sure yet that Rubio is the standard.
On 2A, Cruz rocks, and he is Hispanic. Rubio is no Cruz.
On immigration Rubio sort of rocks, and he is Cuban American.
Apple’s and oranges maybe, at this early date.

I voted for that fellow again and again!
When will Potomac Fever set in?
“Rubio is no Cruz.” -—> Cruz is no Rubio, no matter what Rush says.
QED
Rubio can talk, blah blah blah. Listen to what he says and read up on his views. With him one must read between the lines, as he’s so busy running circles. Look at the attention he commanded yesterday from the top three.
Cruz speaks. WE’re going to need people who are good at what dems are good at- communicating their points. Dems communicate emotional reactionism (their points).
GPOe s can’t communicate their points because their points are shallow, not in keeping with the Constitution, power hungry, wimpy, defensive and self- loathing.
Cruz takes his point, here, which is all any of them are supposed to be doing - defending the Constitution- and succintly communicates it. It is helpful that he has debating experience from academia, but he keeps it simple, which is probably what he searned there, anyway. He has one task - communicate the point - forget about any other goal or motive.
rubio was so busy schmoozing Shumer (say that 3 times fast) yesterday and going on the circuit that our heads are spinning. Even Rush had to do a double take.

From Wikip. on Cruz:
While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel as one of North America’s top-ranked parliamentary debaters, winning the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[13] In 1992, he was named Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton) by the American Parliamentary Debate Association.[13] In 1991 he and his partner came in second to Austan Goolsbee and partner David Gray. Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship.
On Rubio:
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida in 1993, and his J.D. degree cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law in 1996
I think Senator Cruz, Senator Rubio, Senator Paul, Senator Sessions should be leading the Republicans in the Senate.

We’re one week into the term and they already are, really.
Good.
Ah...I get it. Thanks!
