Here it comes: Attacks on Rubio by the left-wing media

[Sanlmar]

Well congrats are due, Druff.

The Adelson Primary is almost over.



You gonna attend?

Your boy gotta earn his keep. Will be real interesting if Rubio stays mum this week when the congressional hearing on the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (bill that if enacted would prohibit online gambling in the United States) kick off.

You can't fault a politician for wanting the Adelson $.

Hopefully he doesn't sell us down the river for the online poker thing, but honestly no President (including Hillary) is going to support it anyway, so unless Rubio is a rabid online poker opponent, this probably won't matter.

RAWA doesn't have much of a chance of passing.

Marco Rubio has positioned himself as a young, fresh-faced champion of limited-government conservatism. You are niave enough to buy it.

He represents the same bought and sold, quid pro quo politics that is commonly available on any street corner.

Again, he has long been courting Adelson. He agreed to be co sponsor of the RAWA bill. He's doing the work as directed.

The Wall Street Journal has written him up and called him out for his fine work with the sugar lobby and government subsidies for his (Florida) state's industry. He takes the money and does the work.

Taking money and suckling at the tit of the lobbies and PAC's .... no, I can't fault him for that. It's politics as usual. What I object to is the RAWA sellout. Stop imposing restrictions on my freedom under the guise of morality. I am not a rabid poker supporter but I demand the freedom to choose.

So in the end you have a fresh face with a relatively clean record - only because he's new. He plays in the same sandbox and his limited government stance is just fashionable. He can be bought just like anyone else.

He has no other compelling story. Zero.zero Just a guy.

I admit Trump is PT Barnum. But the circus was wildly successful. I read the Time magazine piece on Trump University. He's slick. American politics is oily & slick. You and I agree any politician would take Adelson's money. Now that we agree Rubio and the rest are corrupt & biz as usual, embrace the "in your face" challenge to the whole status quo of Presidential politics that is Trump or Sanders.

Anything but the status quo.

Edit:
The freshman congressman. It dawns on me that as with the Dodgers you love the unproven prospects.
