If Scarborough likes him, Rubio should probably needs to be removed from the running.
Besides, do we really want another invading barbarian enabler in the upper reaches of the party? Aren’t there enough already?

I don’t mind if Christie and Rubio are toasted before 2016, but I don’t want another Bush.

Just finished listening to “Lost to the West” about the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Our politics are sounding more and more like the terminal politics before the Empire collapsed.

Anything Mr. Sweater the rambling RINO says should be taken with a grain of salt. Every since he savagely attacked Sara Palin I have despised this POS.

“Scarborough: ‘Rubio Not Ready; Republicans Pushing Him Out There Making Big Mistake’”

I wholeheartedly agree. We do not need yet another RINO!

Guess what Jackass Joe, Obama -— he of the paper thin resume -— has been in office over four years and he’s still not ready to do a good job.

Scarborough says this stuff because he wants air time with the liberal talking heads. They'll give him attention he'd never get otherwise. Without the cameras and liberal adoration, he'd no longer exist in the minds of the population.

Sometimes negative attention is better than no attention at all - especially to an actor or politician. They need the stage to feel alive. They need to be noticed, otherwise they disappear into oblivion.

Scarborough declared that Rubio "is not ready to be President of the United States" and that "Republicans pushing him out there are making a big mistake."

He is no more eligible than Obama to hold the presidency, though I would prefer him to the current regime. Two wrongs still don't make a right.

The Roman Senate was plagued by just these kinds of intrigues and petty jealousies.

It is friggin scary how close we are to the classical Roman history.

Forget 2012 Apocalypse theories, just read about how Romans had a great republic then lost it through greed, corruption and ineptitude.

We are at the "bread and circuses" phase now....

Interesting on how intra empire politics destroyed the empire long before the one true enemy ever approached the gates of that great city(Constantinople)(sp)

Eerie how it mirrors today's politics.....

Azzhole Rove is building a 2016 ticket with Jeb as Prez and Rubio as VP. I’m already passing on this or any other Rovian candidate.

It's not hard to find links which indicate that Rubio's father was not a US citizen when Rubio was born, Rubio therefore not an nbc, and therefore not constitutionally qualified to be president.
ROMNEY, RUBIO, McCAIN AND NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Or is the possibility that Obama is not an nbc for the same reason a license for GOP to push unqualified Rubio as next RINO candidate?

For once Scarborough is right. Rubio is not ready to be POTUS but he still gave a good rebuttal to Obutt.

Whether conservative enough to satisfy a lot of die-hard conservatives, is a question for which I have no opinion.

WHat I do know is that any congressional Republican who can stand up to Obama and not dance around his failures like most of them, who can actually speak in clear concise sentences and make his point - I’m looking for that.

Whatever Mitt may or may not be, he should have spoken the unvarnished truth about the Obama destruction of America. He was trying to be too polite, too nice - and nothing he said ever got thru to any libs, even the ones who weren’t crazy about Obama.

It was such a waste of a campaign. Any Republican running for office should be required to listen to the speeches of Ronald Reagan, especially when he was running against Carter. He states fact, but does not attack - but he is clear with everything he says about Carter’s attempted destruction of the US.

Mitt could have done that, if he wanted to and if he hadn’t been advised by imbeciles.

‘We have to get better at this game’ - isn’t that the truth? Sadly we do have some excellent examples of Republicans who were good at the game - none of whom have been emulated by any Republican, except for a certain few.

RINO boy Scarborough just can’t stop himself from trying to be liked by the trash at MessNBC. Joey Boy, stop being jealous of Marco because he’s achieved more in Florida politics. And Rubio is FAR MORE PREPARED to be president than Obama was in 2008—and is still more prepared than Obama in 2013. So shut up Joe—you’re a hideous bore.
