The Presidential Election in Simple, Easy to Understand Terms

From Laura Ingraham:

The Suicide of the GOP Establishment 

Despite the Trump juggernaut, they refuse to rethink Bushism in their support for Rubio 

Here is something to think about as we approach Super Tuesday. 

If Marco Rubio becomes president, we can expect: 

1.) That he will work with Democrats and the GOP leadership in Congress to pass something that looks like the Gang of Eight amnesty bill. 

2.) That he will urge Congress to pass any trade agreements that Obama has signed. 

3.) That he will send significant numbers of U.S. troops to the Middle East. 

4.) That his foreign policy will be developed by many of the same people who advised George W. Bush. 

5.) That his economic policy will reflect the views of those who were in power when the United States was hit by the economic crisis of 2008. 

Now, I don’t think any of these points are truly controversial. Somewhere, there may be naïve people who actually believe that Rubio will put border enforcement first. But all sophisticated analysts of politics — including the folks at National Review — certainly expect that a President Rubio will support the same type of amnesty that was supported by Sen. Rubio. And on the other issues, Rubio has not even pretended that he will break with the Obama/Bush trade policy, the Bush foreign policy, or the Bush economic policy. 

For almost eight years, it has been increasingly clear that many, many Republicans — probably a majority of the party — do not agree with any of the five principles outlined above. Time and time again, grassroots and movement conservatives have expressed their opposition to all five of the key planks in Rubio’s platform. These Republicans do not support the Gang of Eight bill. They do not support Obama’s trade deals. They do not want to spend huge amounts of blood and treasure again in the Middle East. And they most certainly do not want the economy to look like it did in the fall of 2008. 

These voters have tried, through every means available, to make their opposition felt. They are the reason that Eric Cantor is no longer in the House. They are the reason that the Gang of Eight bill didn't pass. They are the reason that John Boehner is no longer speaker. And they are the reason that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have dominated the polls for months.
