Forget the White House: Marco Rubio might be lucky just to get reelected
Hot Air ^ | Myra Adams

So things don’t look so encouraging for Rubio. But he may not be seriously eyeing a White House run anyway: A high-ranking GOP party official who asked that his name be withheld told me on Monday that Jeb Bush’s people have just met with Rubio’s people and a 2016 deal was struck. If Jeb runs for president then Rubio would drop out—and “Jeb is running,” according to my well-placed source. (Alert the media!)…

Rubio knows his race will be tough since 2016 is the first time he would face a traditional two-person Senate battle. (His 2010 election was a quirky three-way race.)

Jawless Jeb and El Rubio as the GOP ticket?

At that point I will have to face the fact that the USA is dead and buried.

I will de-enroll as a voter and do the best I can for my family in my remaining years.

He needs to be voted out of the senate and regret having blown his chance for a great run in office by siding w Schumer on amnesty

name one US senator that became ‘more conservative’ after spending time in DC.

Strom Thurmond.

Carl Curtis was still standing loyal to Nixon even to the end of Watergate when he resigned.

Curtis was also just about the biggest anti-LBJ great society Republican in DC.

good call. a real conservative.

Other than Amnesty, Rubio has been good, as far as I can tell.

But Amnesty is the END-GAME for the Democrats. If they get that through, they will have so many new voters, they won’t even have to bother campaigning anymore to hold TOTAL control of the federal government.

"if either of them are the top of the R ticket I’ll skip the top of the ticket or vote libertarian."

My sentiments exactly.

I would never cast a POTUS vote for either, under any circumstances I or you could imagine.

“Fix is in. Jeb is gonna run, conservatives like me will stay home in disgust, and Hillary will win. End of America.”

Amen! I have for decades voted against Democrat Party Candidates for President. I will NOT participate if it is Hillery and Bush. There would be no point. Democracy would be over. Is there ANY way to get through to the establishment that running Bush will get then no closer to the White House than Dole, McCain, or Romney did. A$$holes.

They like to have an appearance of legitimacy. So elections have to be held, even though the commies control everything. Once amnesty happens, they have the numbers and won’t have to cheat anymore.

Oh, no, Strom moved gradually left starting as early as 1971 and certainly by 1978.

Curtis wrote a book you should try to get from Interlibrary Loan: ‘’Forty Years against the Tide’’.

I understand that FL people can’t wait to get Crist back, just like the USA as a whole panting for Hillary.
