What is with all this Rubio love all over the place, especially from the media? Am I missing something?

I was there. Starting about 30 min before El Jefe took stage, while Phil Robertson was speaking, about a thousand 20 something’s with JEB badges filed into the main ballroom. The room went from 80% full to SRO.

There were guides/stewards positioning interns strategically around the room, both to take up all the empty seats and to be able to quickly take the seat of anybody who left.

I wouldn’t have believed the organizational prowess of what I witnessed if I hadn’t seen it for myself.

The applause you hear on tape was every bit as bought and paid for as if it were canned.

I walked out. Just like I will in 2016 if he wins the primary.

Make no mistake, there was serious money involved in making sure he wasn’t embarrased yesterday. I’m sure the organizers of CPAC didn’t mind. The cost of a day’s admission is $125, but candidates can bring in supporters for half of that. A thousand supporters at $67.50 a pop for admission is $67,500 extra dollars for CPAC. That doesn’t even cover the cost of paying for the staff and logistics to make that happen.

What he gained from actually admitting it in front of a room full of conservatives is the absolute assurance I will never vote for him under any circumstances. That’s what he gained.

Jeb Bush to CPAC: Yes, I support a path to legalization for illegal immigrants

PING!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Romney worried that, with the tea party in ascendance during Obama’s first term, he could win the GOP nomination but be crippled by recalcitrant conservatives who refused to vote for him in the general election.

And so, he moved right and won in a landslide!

Oh, wait . . .

Here he is endorsing a path to legalization for illegals — a position held by every Republican candidate in the field

Is this true?
