re: #69 Testy Toad T

“Establishment” really doesn’t mean shit at this point from a craziness-of-policy standpoint, but it’s accurate and important to note that Rubio is not openly reviled by the average GOP elected official the way Cruz and Trump are.

Cruz is reviled because he uses self-serving tactics to paint his colleagues as RINOs and himself as the only trooo conservative in the Senate, not because of his extreme politics. Rubio is virtually as conservative as Cruz, but he isn’t as big an asshole about it. Though one reason the establishment hasn’t rushed to anoint him as the GOP savior is that he is a self-entitled prick.
