Source: Today, the Establishment Officially Chose Marco Rubio

Reblogged on kommonsentsjane.

I am not surprised that the Establishment chose Marco Rubio, one of the members of the Gang of 8 in the immigration bill, as their fair-haired boy. In the Senate, he has voted with the  Obama Democrats and the Elite Republicans.

But New Hampshire certainly will be remembered as the humbling hour of  Senator Marco Rubio of Florida,  who in an unforgettable weekend debate confrontation with Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, was  revealed to have a political persona as thin as the glaze on a Coos Country windshield on a frosty February morning.

Eight days earlier, Rubio, after delivering a remarkable Iowa speech that somehow transformed a third place finish into a near triumph, was regarded as the candidate with the highest ceiling.  From the start, Rubio was an awkward if not a bad fit for the Granite State. Earlier in the campaign, listening to Rubio was like “watching a computer algorithm designed to cover talking points.”  “He said a lot, but at the same time said nothing.  It was like someone wound him up, pointed him towards the door and pushed play. ”

We all know that Rubio has an establishment profile and  he is a dues-paying member to this political and economic establishment.  So why wouldn’t they chose Rubio to carry their torch – since they  earlier lost the Bush establishment horse.
