It just hit me...Marco Rubio will be the GOP nominee

[Dusty Bake Activate]

It has to be.

I've been wondering for a while now who the nominee will be because the whole field is garbage and I couldn't see any of the poll frontrunners as presidential material. It's gonna be the guy who's least garbage but who everyone's been ignoring.

Donald Trump and Ben Carson are clowns. Their buzzes will die down soon. Neither of them is remotely presidential material and the GOP establishment knows it. Cruz televangelist looking ass is a joke too.

The base has decided Jeb is too establishment and they just don't fukk with him in general.

Scott Walker had a chance to be that dude but he imploded.

Christie is fukked because of bridgegate...and because he's a fat blowhard a$$hole who nobody wants to see or hear.

Fiorina is a nice novelty but they won't take her too seriously. She has no resume and the base has a problem with voting for a woman.

Rubio is in the cut chilling. He lowkey performed well in the last debate and moved ahead of Jeb in the polls. The establishment power brokers can live with him. He's hispanic, but most first generation Floridian Cubans pretty much see themselves as white. He has the luxury of being hispanic enough to say "Look at me I'm hispanic!" through visuals only. He won't pander like Bush, who brags about his hispanic wife and does interviews in spanish which only pisses off the base. Rubio's only allusions to his hispanic heritage will be to tell lame bootstraps stories about his poor immigrant father.

He's going to be the nominee. He might even win, though I doubt it at this point.

I still think Jeb Bush is the most likely at the moment. For basically the same reasons Romney got the nomination last time.

The base is one thing, but when it comes down to it they still want somebody they think could win the general election.

What about Piyush @Mephistopheles ?

Romney was never polling in the single digits. Bush just isn't moving people. His last campaign event was in half empty rec room. Donors are pulling away from him. He's losing steam everyday. I don't think there's anything he can do to turn it around. He's a known entity.

Rubio is like a better, fresher version of Bush. He just moved ahead of him in the polls. All he has to do is be patient and not fukk up while the rest of those buffoons cannibalize themselves and each other and he's in.

He's as safe a pick as anyone at the moment. Trump has defied political gravity to an almost comical extent, but it's still hard to imagine him being the nominee. Carson is in the same boat. Fiorina is a ridiculous option as well.

I think Rubio and Cruz are the two most likely picks at the moment. Everyone, myself included, assumes against evidence that trump and Carson will implode. Cruz stands to benefit the most from their supporters. Rubio is the most palatable establishment candidate.

I'd actually say all the reasons the party opted for Romney are the exact reasons they're rejecting Jeb Bush. It's important to remember that at no time during 2012 was Mitt ever as low in the polls or as unpopular as Jeb has consistently been. You can argue that's due to a stronger field, and you'd be right, but it speaks very ill of Jeb that he's been incapable of locking down moderates and business types like Romney did.

This Republican field and race has been so crazy so far that it's tough to make a prediction.

With that said, I kind of agree, people are not feeling Jeb. The only other alternative for the establishment is Rubio.



But I still have a heard time picturing Rubio as the nominee.

This race won't make sense until it's whittled down to maybe four or five candidates.

Kaisch gets no respect, like dudes don't even bother to shyt on him

Is that what happens to moderates in the GOP?

Kasich almost makes too much sense and that's the problem. Unfortunately for him, looks and body language also play a big part and he just doesn't have it.

Rubio is playing it smart, but I think when it comes down to it he's still going to lose to Jeb. The older GOP base that actually come out to vote in large numbers are still Bush loyalists even if they don't want to admit it.

sad thing is Kasich is only a moderate by the nutty standards of today.

@JahFocus CS, you are a tremendous poster. World class. We are going to make Ameica great again. #Trumpset. I get great support from the blacks. By the way, I was in SC today meeting with the black chamber of commerce. Great people. Just fantastic. I'm going to win with the blacks.

Lightweight @Mephistopheles has been very negative on Trump. Very negative. I'm leading in the polls but he brings up Rubio....Rubio is a nice guy, but he isn't going to win.

Why doesn't pathetic @Mephistopheles, bring up my poll numbers vs Rubio or Bush? Because he likes to support low energy candidates like he supports low energy Tim Duncan.
