‘Take a pill’: Joe Scarborough decries ‘offensive,’ ‘full-on nativist’ Rubio ad [video]

Joe Scarborough is pretty pissed about this Rubio ad: Did you hear anything offensive there? Joe sure did: Here are Rubio’s exact words: “This election is about the essence of America, about all of us who feel out of place in our own country. A government incredibly out of touch and millions with traditional values branded ‘bigots’ and ‘haters.’ This is about wages growing slower than the cost of living. A generation drowning in debt. And a president humiliated by Putin, Iran, and Islamic jihadists. I’m Marco […]

Rubio’s biggest fan screams enough to wake Ben Carson

There was a general consensus among reporters and media types that the Marco Rubio who showed up to debate Thursday night on CNN was a different candidate than seen in previous contests. Maybe his motivationwas theoverexcitedcheerleader in the audience, whose piercing screams followed every comment and wereliterally loud enough to drown out the rest of the audience’s applause. Somebelieve she was a Trump super-fan, but we’re pretty sure she was shrieking whenever Rubio landed a blow on the front-runner. We suspect the screamer was either hushed or […]

‘Lots of love for the welders’ at GOP presidential debate

After seeing the behavior of the students (and certain faculty members) at the University of Missouri this week, it’s not surprising that college is becoming less attractive as a road to prosperity and more like a highway to ridiculous debt, both in terms of money and common sense. Tuesday night’s GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee kicked off with a question about the minimum wage, and Sen. Marco Rubio firmly declared that American needs more welders and fewer philosophers. Uh oh. It looks like a philosophy major who […]

Chris Hayes: Marco Rubio says climate has always changed

Liberals usually find themselves frustrated when they encounter climate change doubters who just won’t accept that the planet is warming (or cooling) and refuse to accept that the science is settled. (The Associated Press has even advised its reporters to use the term, “those who reject mainstream climate science.”) MSNBC host Christopher Hayes admits that he just doesn’t know what to do with Sen. Marco Rubio’s outrageous claim that the climate has always been changing. So you could call Rubio a believer in climate change. That’s a […]

Trump touts poll showing Rubio and Kasich doing the best against Clinton

There’s a new USA Today poll out with some head-to-head matchups that Donald Trump wants you to know about. OK … let’s take a look at that poll, shall we? Yes, Trump does lead both Clinton and Sanders, but Marco Rubio and John Kasich (!) do even better than Trump.

That’s a weaker […]

‘I eat nails when I wake up,’ resilient Jeb! Bush insists

Jeb Bush was among the candidates who gave 15-minute speeches today at the Growth and Opportunity Party in Iowa, and he reprised his attack on Sen. Marco Rubio employed during the third GOP debate, despite the opening it gave Rubio to lay into any number of senators who missed votes while on the campaign trail and to accuse Bush of following the advice of his advisors to target him specifically. His debate performance didn’t help Bush in the polls, and news yesterday that he had senthiscampaigns chief […]

How original! Out of ideas, @TheDemocrats attack Rubio as ‘anti-climate science’ – twitchy.com

The Democrats really need to come up with a new routine. This one is getting tiresome: Aside from “anti-climate science” being a thoroughly asinine term, is a self-important, fact-bending clown like Neil deGrasse Tyson really the guy you want toparade to make a point? You might as well have gone with Bill Nye. Ouch. Party of Science? Not even close. Go on, Democrats. We dare you.
