re: #71 Big Beautiful Door

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.

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.
