re: #78 HappyWarrior

I think that self entitlement is why Rubio has flopped. I’ve felt the establishment while many were lining up their bets on him wasn’t totally sold. I think Rubio’s probably played himself out of a chance to be on the ticket this year if ever. I remember it was assumed that Romney would pick him and he chose Ryan. Perhaps his guys found something on Rubio that they thought would really screw them. I mean Ryan did have the obnoxious Ayn Rand love for sure but nothing that stank the Romney campaign. Ryan didn’t sink Camp Romney like Palin did Camp McCain. I don’t think he helped mind you but I don’t think Ryan was a huge liability for Romney.

I think that the party leadership has private polls in which they see that the redneck, racist GOP base in states like Texas will NEVER, EVER vote for a dirty Messican like Rubio.

And if the GOP can’t hold Texas, it is Game Over for them on a national level.
