Our prayers were answered!!!!!!!! Rubio will have 'big announcement' April 13,

[dixiegrrrrl]

I find watching him endlessly fascinating.
He is like the love child of Donald Trump and Ricky Gervais.

As with other clueless people, he has no clue. But he does have this determined drive to push on, despite all feedback from an audience that he is failing big time.
His campaign, no matter how short, deserves to put forth as an Oscar contention, in the "Best Doc. based on real weird life"
or something.

Is it only me that sees him as a live art piece

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

1. No, I get it, very fun to watch

[KamaAina]

2. Cruz had his launch at Liberty University. Where will Rubio have his?

[jmowreader]

26. Pensacola Christian College is my bet

PCC makes Liberty University look like it's run by atheists.

Oh, I have to tell you: When Reagan was still in office, six MI soldiers stationed at Field Station Augsburg, Germany, who had formed their own religious cult, decided the Antichrist would appear on the beach at Pensacola, Florida on a date certain. They also decided they had to stop him. Fortunately they all had passports (most soldiers deploy overseas with their military ID cards). So...all six of them went "Knowledgeable AWOL*," flew back to the US, got a car somehow, and started driving to P'cola. About a hundred miles from their meeting with the Antichrist, the Florida state police stopped them for a traffic infraction, ran their licenses...it's not just anyone who makes the front page of Stars and Lies, but these jokers were more than up to the task.

* "Knowledgeable AWOL," or KAWOL, is their name for someone with a security clearance going over the hill. And believe you me, a KAWOL is a grade-A pain in the ass because you gotta investigate the hell out of them to be sure they didn't take any secrets with them when they left.

3. You're a funny one

My dear, dixiegrrrrl!

yay Rubio!

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. He was on the Daily Show a couple months ago

and I had the greatest admiration for Stewart's self control, cause Rubio had a message and would not/could not be spontaneous about anything.
Plus he still had his deer in the headlights look.
SOOO entertaining to watch.

[marym625]

14. I'll have to look it up

Thanks!

[msongs]

4. perhaps he will announce he is not running nt

[FSogol]

5. I think DUer Snarkoleptic summed Rubio up the best:

"It's like listening to a large clicking beetle.
He keeps clicking his tongue and smacking his lips.
Also sounds like he's whining and really nervous."

13. Funny...my dog does the same thing when HE hears a dog whistle.

[FSogol]

15. Please go to a Rubio town hall meeting and blow a dog whistle.

[gordianot]

6. I am truly afraid for 2015 that Republican Pres. candidates will cause me to have sensory overload.

I am considering upping my dosage of low dose aspirin. It used to be funny but any given Republican candidate who might be elected for me is like a life destroying asteroid.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

8. Yes, at a point the laughter ends, if they steal the election, we are all done.

[Politicalboi]

7. Call the Sparkletts guy

He's gonna need a lot of water for this one.

9. Every time a Republican announces I hear this song, I bet you know the words.

10. The Klown Kar is going to be bursting at the seams.

[LiberalElite]

21. They'll need a fleet nt

11. More clowns! More!

You can never have too many clowns.

16. Do. Not. Forget.

He is a fucking liar. Said his parents escaped Castro - BEFORE he was even in power. I am sure he would love to have this lie forgotten - we need to bring it up OFTEN and EVERYWHERE

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Was that Rubio? or was it Cruz?

Hard to keep the lying liars and the lies they tell straight.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. No,... Rubio. Bet C has some too. nt

[lpbk2713]

17. Good. This looks like his political career is over.

He will certainly lose a run for Prez or Veep and he will not be able to run for
the Senate again. Of course, he may have cooked up a deal with Rick Scott for
an appointment to the Florida Supreme Court.

[BainsBane]

18. What are you talking about?

My prayers don't involve any of these characters. He or any other of these Republican candidates could well become president. Do you not remember how people said the same thing when Reagan ran for office? How can you write something like that? Damn. If he's elected I'm going to hold you responsible for jinxing the country.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Honey, if lil old me is THAT powerful

I'm gonna run out and buy a lottery ticket!

[BainsBane]

22. I know. I just get superstitious about this sort of thing

I always think of Reagan. Never wish for something. You just might get it.

[Jim Lane]

25. Well, we know the Republicans will nominate *somebody*.

All we can realistically pray for -- or hope for, for those of us who aren't religious -- is that the campaign will decrease the eventual nominee's chance of winning the general election.

One obvious way is that it produces a weak nominee. My guess is that Rubio would have less chance of winning than would, say, Walker or Jeb (or, my dark-horse worry, Kasich).

You're right about the Reagan analogy, though. Rubio gets the nomination, mobilizes a big Hispanic vote, and wins the general election, and I'm left wishing that one of the Anglo candidates had won after all. That might happen. This far out, there's no way to be sure which leading Republican prospect would be the strongest in November, and which the weakest.

23. Awesome! Senator Weaknstupid McThirsty is In It To Win It!

This is going to be fun!
