That was quick!
Establishment Republican and FOX News Channel’s favorite son seems to have peaked too soon.
Rubio reached a polling high mark at 19% in New Hampshire two days ago.
Now he’s back town do 16%.
rubio surge over

Despite the nonstop glowing reports on Marco Rubio by the FOX News establishment hacks, Rubio is sinking.

Maybe it’s the Phyllis Schlafly effect?

The more you get to know most of these candidates the less you like them. :-)

Funny thing is, my second choice is now Christie. All the others can kiss my grits.

People coming to their senses?

Rubio will be just another establishment 'flavor of the month'.

Rubio gets on your nerves after you listen to him a few times. Same with Fiorina. I used to like her and it got to where something about her delivery grates on your nerves. Rubio comes across as whiney.

I hope you are right. I cannot find a single reason to vote for Bubble Boy. Of all the candidates, he has the worst record of having done anything that would qualify him. Besides, I do not consider him a nbc. There already is a lawsuit challenging him. As Christie said, Rubio is a boy in a bubble.

“The head of Fox News, Mr. Wall Street, aka billionaire Rupert Murdoch (not an American) is one of the strongest advocates for mass immigration into the U.S. to fundamentally change the dynamics of the U.S. economy.”

The “dynamics” will be that of Democratic power monopoly with 90% top tax rates and millions of smirking Republicans who tried to warn you and your fellow money-crazed morons.

Open your financial accounts widely Mr. Murdoch, the Democrats want to extract money. It will be painful, Mr. Murdoch.

Even leftist Germans are coming around to the realization that they can’t take on the world’s poor.

A Mexican can lay ~30% more bricks in Mexico than he can in New York, the weather is better. We do the world’s poor no favor by letting them live here.

A person living in New York needs to emit far more CO2 than a person living in Mexico City.

So this is what Christie was talking about. “Rubio as the boy in the bubble”.

The official term is “furging” as in “formerly surging” . . .

Not a Rubio supporter but this was college and it was probably after a few beverages or on a dare. Unless more comes out then I chalk it up as just college years. Bet many of us have had moments where we would not want it made public and would be embarrassing today.

Yeah, but nothing as gay as that.

Hard to say after only one State’s vote, especially a caucus. NH and SC should establish more of a trend.

Not me but I had a couple of friends who went to a gay bar on a dare many years ago and acted the part. They were definitely not gay and I still know one today and he has not changed. I have been threatened if I ever tell people who they were.....

That was real. We dropped them off about a block from the bar. Another rider took a picture both they made us give them the film out of the camera later. Those were the film days.

You have to be ready to assume the job, not just want it. Is it just me or does Rubio not look like a president.

Rubio doesn’t, he looks like an overgrown kid. But, Cruz doesn’t either, for some reason I can’t put my finger on. If looking Presidential is all it took, though, Romney would have beaten Obama handily, but he didn’t. So, looks come into play, but they’re not always the deciding factor. For all his flamboyance and the hair, Trump looks more the part than anyone who has been in contention this go round.
