Sounds like Gaybot needs a change of batteries.

Marco Rubio's remarks should be judged on substance as well as on form.

For the record I am unalterably opposed to the candidacy of Marco Rubio because he betrayed the nation on immigration, all as so thoroughly and damningly documented by Phyllis Schlafly. I am equally opposed to Donald Trump because he is an opportunistic bounder who has no allegiance whatsoever to conservatism but only to his own ego.

But on substance Rubio is quite correct, the problem with Barack Obama is not competence or the lack of it as Donald Trump alleges but ideology. A candidate like Donald Trump who is willing to attack Barack Obama only on the issue of competence does so for selfish reasons, he does not want people looking at Donald Trump's ideology. The very idea that our negotiators are too stupid to know what they are doing when they negotiate treaties with Iran or in the Pacific Rim is simply preposterous. These are highly intelligent people who do what they do because they believe they are right and we conservatives are wrong.

Rubio's point is important because this state of affairs cannot be cured by appointing "smart people" to negotiate or by cutting "deals" with the establishment in Washington, the problem must be solved by the recognition and implementation of conservative ideology, an argument I have been advancing on these threads for months.

Donald Trump does not take this line because he does not believe this line. Trump wants to become president so he can do what Trump wants to do. Trump is a man without ideology and that is nearly as bad as the wrong ideology. Rubio is a man who knows what the correct ideology is, but he is a sellout.

That leaves Ted Cruz as the viable choice.

Was it this line?

Sounds like eRubio suffered a kernel error. May require a hard reboot to correct.

Wow. 35 posts and no one has mentioned what a great job that Christie did in SLICING and DICING RUBIO.

[proust]

Maybe in 4 years they will roll out Rubio 2.0.

For now, he’s too glitchy for prime time.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Christie definitely earned his donuts tonight .. he did an excellent job at eviscerating foam party Rubio

[Jukeman]

Like I have said: Rubio is a programmed wind up toy that has only so many lines and then goes blah, blah, wak, wak, wak, duh, duh, duh, duh. The man is spooky.

It wasn't this bad for Marco but using the same line 4 times in short order and then Tubby beating him over the head with it was pretty close.....his little bump is now a full and utter fail

Rubio has always reminded be of a small boy dressed up in his dad’s suit. I do not see the attraction to him as president.
