But with his third place finish in Iowa and subsequent upward moves in polls, everyone is trying to understand him. You have the lovers and the haters.

Haters - The Rubio Menace | Mickey Kaus

Expect to see a lot more of this as the MSM and bloggers on the left and right try to peg him or bring him down. I like Rubio and would like to see him have a strong showing in NH. I don't expect him to beat Trump, but a solid thumping of Cruz would put him squarely in line for SC.

Rubio is the Republican Party establishment last hope unless Kasich or Jeb pull a rabbit out of a hat in NH. If he finishes ahead of those two in NH you are going to see the establishment push for the other two and Christie to drop off so their supporters can back Marco.

Rubio is a establishment candidate.

Keep in mind that in Iowa, 60% of the GOP vote went to the the 3 anti-establishment candidates. i.e. Cruz, Trump & Carson.

I'll bet the Rubio campaign team was amused at Rubio being labeled the "establishment candidate".

Well, to rephrase on Rubio some people 'love' him and then some people know him as a politician.

Rubio is the most Dubious candidate, aside from Nut case, Bush. Both are Establishment choices.

Obvisiously, Rubio had little traction from the start, a few months ago, because he is the least Trusted candidate of them all, aside from Bush.

And that's the key reason Rubio stalled at the gate....and stumbled.

Like Paul Ryan (and Jeb), Marco Rubio is a Rockefeller Republican, a neocon (aka leftist Republican).

Rubio is the safe choice for political insiders who are corrupt to the core.. they want it to continue...

If Trump gets in , which they are very very afraid of, life in Washington will be looked at very carefully by the Trump administration and Trump will lower the boom on the corruption and excess spending.

Of course they want Rubio. They are so comfortable with him already in Washington and they feel they can control the young guy on the block. So it will be corrupt politics as usual if their puppet boy gets in.

Rubio is Sheldon Adelson. Not Rubio. We dont know who Rubio is, except he wants all abortions banned, which Sheldon Adelson doesnt care about at all.
