I think he is a total light weight, has zero accomplishments, and is actually quite dim witted. He's being propped up by cucks because he's hispanic. Sorry, we need more than that.
He's lazy, he doesn't show up for votes in the senate, and rarely shows up on the campaign trail. No one knows what he is doing with his time.
The only things he's done as a senator are absolutely on the wrong side of what most of us stand for. He cosponsored some mattress girl loving - no due process for young men - campus sexual assault legislation. His other "accomplishment" is aligning with Cuck Schumer to give amnesty to the illegals.
Study his "debate" performances. He repeats the same rehearsed lines every "debate." He doesn't even answer the questions give to him. He just launches into his rehearsed shit. He is not smart enough to think on his feet, so his staff has him memorize about a half dozen little speeches. It's all platitudes too "...America is the greatest country on earth...my father was a bartender, and now look at me..."
Liberals are now showing support for Trump, rationalizing it in odd ways. Last night I went out with my friend and his girlfriend, both have been bashing Trump since the summer. Now both are showing tepid support, admitting they'd vote Trump over Hillary. They rationalized it by saying "With Hillary we know what we'll get. Trump will probably royally fuck things up but maybe that'll wake the country up." Right.
Quote:When you talk about the Tea Party and the brewing civil war within the Republican Party, it’s a Tea Partier—Ted Cruz—who’s the one nipping at Donald Trump’s heels.
Ted Cruz is scarier than Donald Trump. Because I think Donald Trump, despite some of the crazy things he says and some of the disgusting things he says, he also says some things that a liberal can love. His stance on getting out of the Middle East and being against the Iraq War is stuff that was pretty consistent with what Obama was saying last night. And also, taking on hedge-fund managers. It just shows that people in this country are so out of it politically that ideology doesn’t really matter anymore. When Putin was praising Trump and Joe Scarborough said to him, “You know, Putin murders journalists,” Trump’s response was, “Yeah, we kill people, too.” That’s the kind of thing Noam Chomsky says, you know? So look, Trump would be a disaster as president, don’t get me wrong, but I think he could actually be turned around on some issues.
Leftists now saying "Trump would be a disaster, but he's got some good points."

Cruz apparently think so, too - all of his negative ads are aimed at Rubio, not Trump, although Trump is the frontrunner. I think his calculus is, if he comes in No 2, he has a chance to outlast Trump in the southern states (and, of course, his home state of Texas). But third place would be a disappointment.
He'll surge as the new establishment sweetheart until Trump decides to take aim and kill shot him. Just like Bush, Fiorina, Carson, Cruz...

Mmmm...I don't completely agree. Sure, he's not Obama. Who is? And yes, he is overly "coached". But he does connect with people, more than most candidates. Women love him. I'm not sure how latino's respond to him (he's Cuban, whereas as most Latino's in the US are Mexican and Puerto Rican), but my guess is he can up vote share there. I think he has a shot.
Also, he's smart! He's no lightweight. He's weighed in on foreign policy issues in a way that has been respected by his peers and the DC establishment. Much more so than Cruz or Obama in their first terms. He bungled the immigration thing, was overly political about that. But so were many others.
Anyway, I think he has a chance, and if he doesn't get the nomination, he'll be on someone's short list for VP. If he gets neither, he should run for Governor of Florida in a few years, earn some executive chops, and he may eventually be our first Latino president.

I disagree with much of what you've said, but appreciate the thought you put into it. You're knowledgeable.
It does seem like Marco Rubio is really just another faggot politician that the powers that be can own entirely due to his sexuality.
It seems quite obvious now that many high level politicians probably are pedos or fags.
Hordes of people here in my town get busted for sex in cars. There is a lack of short time cheap hotels to keep things discreet and legal. Problem is if they were built, the druggies would wreck everything. Young people have a gauntlet to run until they get established. What Rubio did could have been stupid kid stuff but who is really going to know?

The frequency with which she repeats the word "caucus," along with the emphasis she places upon the word while opening her glottis slightly wider on the first syllable in comparison to most people, suggests to me that this is no accident. This, along with the ambiguously slutty but still respectable display of cleavage is designed to cause excitement in both male and female viewers.

If he does everything he alludes to, he's probably gonna get himself killed either way, but this one ups his chances quite a bit. He's a good character, he wants to do what is right. But there are people in this world who are very opposed to that and I'm not sure he's aware who he's up against. JFK met them. Trump will too. Let's hope it ends better for him.
I wonder how the 9/11 believers will react when Trump lifts the veil. Are they gonna regret they voted for him? Or will they finally see the light? Time will tell.
An attempt on his life is something I've been seriously worrying about since Trump has made this run for president. He is under SS protection now, and when I read that I thought about time.
