Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) political stock is rated a buy by major Republican fundraisers in Washington, who are bullish on Rubio’s future as a 2016 presidential candidate.
A group of Republican fundraising heavyweights and wise men in Washington’s business community are solidly behind Rubio, and see him not only as someone who could win the White House, but someone they can work with.
The fundraisers include Bill Paxon, a former New York lawmaker who is now a senior adviser at Akin Gump; Dirk Van Dongen, the president of the National Wholesalers Association; and Wayne Berman, a big-time donor with a knack for picking winning candidates in presidential primaries. All three are a party of the business wing of the Republican Party that has clashed with the Tea Party. Their support for Rubio suggests they seem him as a possible ally going forward.
Political strategists think Rubio’s chances of winning the GOP nomination in 2016 are looking better because of the bridge scandal embroiling New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) decision to forego a White House bid to aim for the gavel of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
“Marco Rubio is very much in the top tier of potential Republican candidates. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t looked at any data and doesn’t understand the dynamics of the Republican primary,” said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who counts Rubio as one of his clients. “Look at who votes. It’s very difficult to make the case that Chris Christie has a better chance winning the primary than Rubio.”

GW never had a driver’s license until he was 26.
Always had a “driver.”
And Don’t feed the troll. 1rude just shows up to cause arguments.
why? amnesty. not surprising.
Mommy’s calling.
Your can ‘o’ soup is warmed up.
It can only be considered a “circular firing squad” if the shooters (or accuser) are GOP Establishment supporters who back the RINO Wing of the Republican Party.
Ok, so you have nothing either. As I suspected.
Darn, I gotta leave.
Unlike yourself, I have both a social life and a wife...and She Will Not Be Kept Waiting.
Be nice to the innocent.
Oh, you actually called that one for Jeb. Sorry, but Jeb can’t help himself. He’s another amnesty pimp who would demoralize Republicans and lower turnout. That would make three losers in a row for our team, because even Hillary won’t scare Republican voters enough to drag themselves to the polls. We need someone who we can enthusiastically vote for, not another moderate who can’t wait to sell us out (again).
No, the source of that comment was the fact that, years before the election, we’re supposed to start yapping like dogs over something someone wrote on the Hill. And if you look at the thread, we’ve found at least one retard.
Ted Cruz is much more articulate. In fact, Cruz is probably the most articulate one of the bunch on both sides of the aisle.
Rather than focus on this candidate or that one, for the GOP-TP OR the GOP-e, I think the agenda here should be:
Maximize the number of GOP-e candidates in the mix at any one point, and minimize the number of GOP-TP candidates at any one time.
Need to spread the GOP-e like butter, and focus on the GOP-TP to get him or her to the finish line, nomination and election.
At least up until now, the GOP-e appears more adept at marshaling their RINO candidates such that they weaken TPs and strengthen -e’s.
Another loser.
The “insiders” were all in on Fat Ba$tard Christie about a month ago.
How quickly things change.
Rubio is finished before he has even begun.
Another Clinton vs another Bush?
Ah Jeez, not this sh$t again.
The GOPe is right. Amnesty on the table and unsettled hurts their chances of winning an election. What they don’t tell you is that “they”= Rinos who support it just to make it go away and be a non-issue in future elections.
If Cruz and/or Palin is not on the ticket I will not even bother to vote. We lose no matter which RINO we vote for.

Which is why I won’t be voting for Rubio...or any other RINO.
If the GOPe is intent on destroying our nation, they can do it without me.
I agree. Cruz seems more articulate, and he’s not an amnesty pimp.
The left has done a lot of damage, but I still believe most of it can be fixed. Amnesty, however, is the big enchilada, because it won’t just be 11 million new Democrat voters. It was more like 30 million before the recent amnesty push. What happened? 30 million became 11 million much like gay marriage became “marriage equality.” It’s a marketing ploy (aka deceptive advertising).
Ok.
RINO lapdog.......
You are correct sir
It is a wonder that people are unaware of this obvious fact
