Sorry..

Repealing obamacare, shrinking the size and scope of government and securing our borders must be top priorities – Rubio is a nonstarter.

The man has no resume – none.

He’s never had any real job outside of being a legislator … and he’s working now to destroy the Rule of Law. Kinda funny when you think about it. Pathetic and dangerous … but funny.

I wish Rubio would just GTFA, already. He annoys the hell out of me.

minus the intellectual heft intimated by two Ivy League degrees and a law-school faculty post.

ROFLMAO!

Barky’s a brain-dead idiot of the highest order. He’s an idiot who I wouldn’t trust to tutor 8 year olds in math … or anything else, for that matter. Barky was a token at the Ivies. He certainly didn’t break 920 on his SATs and surely did even worse on his LSATs. The guy is a total joke. Anyone who calls the Indonesian Imbecile an “intellectual” of any sort is just showing their own stupidity.

The guy who spoke about “profit AND earnings ratios” and promised that his health scare would “reduce premiums by 3000%!!” and tried to make fun of conservatives by laughingly stating, “What do they think stimulus is? Spending IS stimulus!!!” is anything but an intellectual. Barky operates at around the level of a SLOW 8th grader. His math skills are barely up to that.

Rubio’s an idiot and a worm but to compare his intellect (even the idiot that he is) to the Indonesian is as low as it gets, especially to imply that he comes up short. Frogs are deeper thinkers than Barky. And nicer, too.

Rubio is the GOP’s Barack Obama, minus the intellectual heft intimated by two Ivy League degrees and a law-school faculty post.

The right credentials, as opposed to accomplishments (intellectual or otherwise), passes for success within the Democrat nomenklatura. And that is why the country has been in decline for so long, sadly.

What we need are new elites like Scott Walker, Ryan, and even Rand Paul at the helm. This obsession with electing unqualified Ivy grads who spent their entire lives running for Class President has got to stop for the sake of our country.

So you’re a Martinez fan?

No, Susanna Martinez would be “hispandering” and they never ever ever vote GOP.
He means Jan Brewer.

Only Rubio has going for him is that the GOP establishment and conservative media in the tank for him… so he’ll be the candidate.

Rubio has certain advantages that the others mentioned don’t. (And not just ethnicity.) Charisma and charm matter alot along with the really appealing backstory.
