Part of me is not sure what else he could have done here.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka kelly) Feb 28 '16, 08:31

Just like the entire GOP, he laid in wait for Trump to implode so it's not like he was alone in this strategic blunder...

He's just a lousy candidate. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:34 1
- Not true. The Marcobot was a lousy candidtae but now he is the Termina... okay, I just can't. -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 09:10

- GOP by a long shot. This business is getting out of control. It's out of control and the party will be lucky to live through the night. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:49
- Hillary not seeing Obama coming. The difference is politics has 'rules'. Obama followed the 'rules' whereas Trump hasn't - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:40
- GOP, because there is clearly enough ammo on Trump for someone to have taken him down in the past 8 months - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:36
- GOP by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. Obama's selection didn't hurt the party. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:35 6
  - This. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 08:43
  - This. Trump might end up destroying the GOP - TWuG Feb 28, 08:37 3
    - outright cultivation of these things. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 28, 09:21
    - Or unifying it as Slytherin incarnate. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:38 1
      - No Trump in this race is a fascinating counter-factual. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 09:03

he's just a terrible candidate who the Beltway media wants to delude themselves into believing is GOP Latino Obama -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:34 23
- We ain't going to see another Obama in the near-term. They just don't happen. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:37 22
  - and that pesky issue of not winning anything yet -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:43 6
    - For the only stat that matters, he's won 16 delegates. Cruz 17 and Trump 82. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 08:52 2
      - Yay? -- nm - David Feb 28, 09:01
      - he needs to win something. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:59
    - Even Cruz won one and people hate him. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:44 2
      - Iowa doesn't mean squat. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:44 1
        
        The vagaries of Iowa aside, Rubio still hasn't won anything. -- nm* - Diva Feb 28, 08:47
  - he can't convince half the "sane" part of the GOP that he's any better than Ted Cruz. Ted. Cruz. -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:40 8
    - We have no idea what exists of the sane part of the GOP. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:43 7
      - Rubio was elected to the senate as a Tea Party darling -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:45 6
        
        So? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 09:59 1
        
        So you would think he has as much claim to the Tea Party vote as Ted -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 10:09
        
        And isn't one now. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:46 3
        
        Then he's also dumb for not wanting votes -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:01 2
        
        The GOP establishment has won every time for 50 years...why would you not want that? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:07 1
        
        Cause they're the ones running the party now -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:17
  - I honestly don't understand what you see in him that's positive. He's pyrite. - David Feb 28, 08:39 5
    - So far, he's the only GOPer with a shot I've seen articulate anything in the cesspool of Trump. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:42 4
      - I've seen you say this several times, and I view it as like arguing 50 Shades for Best Picture. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:45 3
        
        No, that'd be arguing Trump or Cruz. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:49 2
        
        Yeah, I think you're mostly right about Rubio. And he's not media concocted, he's party-concocted. - Beryllium Feb 28, 08:53
        
        I'm sure some people passionately defend 50 Shades, too. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:52
