Ted Cruz Shows Marco Rubio Speaking Obama’s Language
nytimes.com ^ | February 20

Posted on 02/21/2016 4:13:09 AM PST by Helicondelta

First he mocked the similarities in their biographies, calling Senator Marco Rubio "the Republican Obama." Now, in an ad called "Sales Pitch," Senator Ted Cruz is hammering Mr. Rubio for serving up the same talking points as President Obama's.

After calling Mr. Rubio "the Republican Obama" at the end of an ad in Iowa, Mr. Cruz has spliced together clips of Mr. Obama and Mr. Rubio to make them sound like a skipping CD, repeating each other's lines, during the legislative battle over a comprehensive immigration overhaul in 2013.

"They still have to qualify for it," Mr. Rubio says, "meaning --"

"Passing a background check," Mr. Obama says, seeming to finish the sentence. "Passed a background check," Mr. Rubio echoes.

"Paying a penalty," says the president. "Pay a fine," adds Mr. Rubio.

And so on.

So Trump calling Dr. Carson a pedophile is a positive in the Trump cult.

Obviously if it’s a positive to call someone a pedophile in the trump cult then it’s also a positive to call cult leader Trump a pedophile right?

If you want to argue about the cult label, tell me any other group than a cult that believes pedophilia is a positive as you have said it is.

In this video report from CBSN before the South Carolina results came in, the reporter says that they have been hearing allegations that the Marco Rubio campaign was calling voters to tell them Jeb had suspended his campaign and to vote for Rubio instead.

The reporter asks Lindsey Graham to comment on the allegations in an interview before results came in.

When Hillary is elected Trumpsters will blame the stay at home voters for not electing Trump.

The fact that there was more republican voters in the NH primary than dems is pretty telling.

When did that happen last?

A whole lot of Hillary supporters/dems are voting Trump.

General election, they will go right back to being dem voters.

I’m not saying that many things Trump has said are anything but provocative and apt to keep people focused on the nomination process. I am saying that they weren’t sneaky behind-the-back accusations and dirty campaigning. It seems Cruz crossed a line that Trump can’t accept.

Go Ted go!

Thanks for posting that link.

Considering that it was Rubio’s camp that was spreading rumors about Carson in Iowa, having Rubio’s people talking about Bush dropping out surprises me not at all.

Just glad Cruz’s people aren’t getting the blame this time for spreading the “dropping out” rumor like in Iowa.

An Open Message to All Marco Rubio Supporters:



I am a Florida Tea Party Evangelical Christian who was DUPED in 2010 (along with perhaps 5 million Florida conservatives) by that "lying bastard" Marco Rubio.

Hence, we have earned (the very hard way) learning the TRUE duplicity of Marco "Gang of Eight" Rubio.



Did Marco speak eloquently on ABC today ? Probably so.

Marco Rubio is "extremely talented" at being a backstabbing "lying bastard" public speaker.

Was Hitler a GREAT orator ? Absolutely.

Is Obama a GREAT orator ? Absolutely (with a teleprompter).

So I don't give a hoot in hell over Marco Rubio's "pretty Dondi cabana gay-boy" IMPERSONATIONS of a Conservative AMERICAN Patriot.



Rubio LIED THRU-HIS-BEAUTIFUL-SMILING-TEETH for YEARS on end to Florida Conservatives about NEVER supporting Illegal Amnesty.

Now, if you live in Wisconsin, Texas or New York, all that probably doesn't that much to you.

But to US Floridians ... it "actually" does.



I have no idea of where the Florida primary will go (15 March 2016) ...

BUT I will do everything I can to STOP that "lying bastard" Marco Rubio from victory in Florida's 99-delegate Winner-Take-All primary.



Even as far as, as a Ted Cruz Florida campaigner,

to vote for Donald Trump (Blessed be his name, /sarcasm-off) ... IF the election is close ...

if that's what it takes to DESTROY Marco Rubio's political future.




Marco "Gang of Eight" Rubio is simply a (much) younger version of Juan McCain and Mitch "The Bastard" McConnell.

By the Way .... the political "dirty little secret" that you'll NEVER hear Fox News ask Rubio to talk about ...

is exactly WHY would a (handsome, Hispanic) first-term U.S. Senator from a "Hispanic state" ...

STRANGELY RETREAT from seeking an otherwise "easy" re-ection ?


WHY ?

Because as MOST experienced Florida political observers KNOW ...

Marco Rubio would be DEFEATED (in Primary) because Rubio "shafted" his Florida Conservative Base SO BADLY after his 2010 election.

Maybe Rush Limbaugh (as a Florida voter) will discuss this FACT someday ...

What do You think ?
