Senator Rubio deserves the Republican nomination.

Just for this:

......and if it wasn t for those pesky votes that he isn t getting...., he would be getting it.


....and you can t say "period" then put an exclamation point. meade will be apoplectic ......

[RayThom]

Too little... too late. The Repugs should have rallied much sooner. The Great Schism is upon them.

To the victor belong the spoils.

Good bye Rubio, Tuesday. (Scott Pelley, CBS News)

I don't think there is one person running who deserves it. Not one of them by virtue of personality, or record.

[BoSoxGal]

He's the least of the remaining evils.

I didn't agree with what he said about President Obama in this clip, although I note that the tenor of those comments was critical but not hateful.

I found much of what he said to be very presidential; if I were a Republican he'd be my choice - but I agree with RayThom, this is too late, they ALL should have called him out months ago.

[BoSoxGal]

....and you can t say "period" then put an exclamation point. meade will be apoplectic ......

Fixed that; wouldn't want the Gen'l to have apoplexy on my account.

[wesw]

thank you.


eta- hey, it still has the exclamation in the title bar over raythom s post.....?

[BoSoxGal]

Yes, because he replied to the thread when the title was thus.

To the victor belong the spoils.

I like this better:
You keep what you kill.


name the movie that's from

8:20 p.m.

Republican Marco Rubio is ending his campaign for the Republican nomination for president after a humiliating loss in his home state of Florida.

Rubio told a crowd in Miami Tuesday that he knows that voters are angry and that there is a hunger for new faces and voices in government.

Rubio's decision was prompted by losses in all but three of the presidential nomination contests but Florida's winner-take-all primary proved the most devastating. Only six years earlier, he was a tea party favorite who crushed the GOP's "establishment" candidate to win a seat in the U.S. Senate.

But the political tables turned on the Florida senator as a 2016 presidential candidate who was lambasted as mainstream in a year when voters cried out for an outsider.

[RayThom]

Well, you gotta' hand it to good ol' Marco. He never gave up on the yellow brick road until just hours ago. The win was always just one primary or caucus away. Clicking his heels three times on the Rubio slippers and repeating the phrase, "There's no place like home state," has finally failed him.

Who knows, maybe the Wizard will pull a Dr. Frankenstein move shocking new life into his cold, bloated corpse in Cleveland on July 18th.

"It's alive! In the name of God, now I know what it feels like to be God!"

Another reasonable and acceptable Republican candidate bites the dust.

Thank goodness Kasich won Ohio and is committed to staying in the race; here's hoping something comes up between now and the convention to tank Drumpf's campaign.

That is my fervent prayer.

Oh come on!! The rest of the world wants you to vote in President Trump.

[dales]

the rest of the world..........................see, I'm wearing my Trump Cap.........

[Crackpot]

Oh come on!! The rest of the world wants you to vote in President Trump.

IIRC you had similar thoughts on W when he got elected.

[Gob]

Yup! I mean The USA must have a Pres, so we may as well get some fun out of it.

[Beer Sponge]

I would rather the US elect someone who is not Trump, we Canadians live next door, so to speak!!

[Joe Guy]

Don't worry, Mr Sponge. Trump is going to put a wall up there too just in case the Mexicans try to sneak in from the north.
