I want to see Rubio a distant third.

I wouldn’t reply to such an odd comment, but I always defend Rush when needed.

He’s the good conservative guy he’s always been.

He’s just not campaigning for The Donald which has a lot of people fit to spit.

No - it’s his support for Rubio that has me wondering. You can’t honestly call Rubio a “full throated conservative” as Rush did.

Unless the word conservative has a new meaning now.

Gilmore could be the key to all of this...

Neither one are in Rubio mode. Levin favors Cruz which I like ... since I do also.

Rush ... well, I think Rush respects Cruz more than any other candidate but he plays it closer to the vest.

He did a brief segment today defending Rubio because Rubio said what Rush has always said... that Obama has not taken the country down because he’s incompetent, but because that’s what Obama planned to do from the time he was a baby at Daddy Kenyan’s knees.

He honed the plan during his community activist days and in a really odd happening became president where he could implement it.

Rush did say that only Rubio and Cruz had the guts to say that Obama intended to take the country down, it wasn’t just a blundering accident.

Rush also said today that he thought the votes Rubio lost because of the poor debate would go to Cruz.

You can’t really expect Rush to campaign for Trump for you .. Trump’s gonna have to do that himself.

That get out the vote machine of the Bush’s must be why the Jeb! events in NH are so well attended, right?

“Have people been questioned why they prefer Rubio? Is it because he is for amnesty and was part of Gang of 8? He has also supported some other aspects of Obama’s agenda but those are little known.”

Rush spent his whole show covering up what Rubio has supported. Rubio says that Obama knows exactly what he is doing — destroying the United States— and has all the while been helping Obama do just that.

Rush Limbaugh has either lost his mind or morphed into a snake.

Look. Rush’s stuff is on tape and can be documented.

He never spent his whole show covering up for Rubio on gang of eight stuff. The only thing he defended Rubio for was saying that Obama had a plan to take the country down and that it wasn’t an accident.

So, do you really need to lie about this?

I was hoping Rubio really did himself in at the debate...but apparently debates don’t count for all that much—at least in New Hampshire.

Oh, I think Rubio lost votes because of the debate.

I just don’t think the polls are that accurate or have not caught up with his falling popularity.

“He’s just not campaigning for The Donald which has a lot of people fit to spit.”

No, it is not his “not campaigning” for Trump; it is his deception — calling Rubio a “full-throated” conservative and a disciple of Reagan while glossing over Rubio’s full-throated support of the Obama agenda that has people outraged. And then has the audacity to praise Rubio for saying Obama’s actions to harm the nation are purposeful.

After how many debates already...the signifigance of each one is pretty small.

If Kasich and Bush do as well as I think they do this gets interesting.

My dream scenario is the “reverse Romney” scenario.
The Amnesty Rinos, Kasich, Rubio, Christie, Bush do well enough in the race to divide up the Anti Trump vote. You know the way Santorum, Gingrich, Cain, Paul did last time.

The Rinos get a taste of their medicine while the Tea Party Evangelicals, Reagan Dems, Anti Amnesty, candidates do well.

I hope you are right. I just read Phyllis Schlafly’s special report on Rubio, and it reignited my absolute loathing for the man.

I did not say he spent his whole show covering up Rubio’s Gang of Eight effort, an Obama agenda item.

He neglected to mention Rubio’s support of the rest of the Obama agenda - voted for TPA, voted for the Corker bill, voted for the budget, called for amnesty two weeks ago for “dreamers”. All these are Obama agenda initiatives, (and there are others), initiatives that Rubio says Obama is trying to destroy the country with and initiatives that Rubio voted for.

You know all this because........?

Did your Magic 8 ball tell you, a seashell you picked up while walking along the shore whisper this in your ear, or your broker give you this "hot tip."

Inquiring minds want to know so we'll be in on all of your wisdom.
