Rubio is the chosen one

[dismal]

A Hispanic man who can survive 17* interactions with Florida police is just the sort of man we want as President.

The New York Times should be applauded for bringing this important news to light.

Technically 13 were his wife's, but by NYT logic they also count as his.

Ya, a non-white guy who can manage to survive multiple encounters with the police for minor violations. You don't see that often. Odds are that he's a Jedi and the mind trick he used to keep the police from "accidentally" shooting him would also be valuable in overcoming procedural blocks in Congress and getting things done.

Fine, tell the others to go home.

I was rooting for Paul, but you can't have everything.

 

[Nice Squirrel]

I'm glad we were able to decide this election without the normal bloodbath and one zillion commercials.

 

[fromderinside]

Another dreamer?

 

[untermensche]

He's just stupid enough to win the Republican nomination.

He reminds me of GW.

A complete, but possibly useful, idiot.

Evidence Rubio is indeed the Chosen One continues to mount. He is now the anointed hero of the Struggling Middle Class.

The NY Times Just Made Rubio the Hero of the Struggling Middle Class

...

In other words, the Rubios had gone through many of the same struggles that younger professionals had endured. Neither of them came from wealthy families, and while their twenties and thirties were financially challenging, they had managed to modestly prosper and settle down not far from where Rubio grew up.

While the Clintons deal with their massive fortune earned by exploiting their connections to power and public trust, the Rubios seem more accessible to mainstream America than ever

Yeah, because Bill Clinton was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Wrong thread? I don't see what any of this has to do with Bill Clinton.

I, too, hope Rubio gets *sip* the nomination.

Just noticing the cognitive disconnect in the Fiscal Times.

Still not sure I get it. Is there some journalistic code that says all articles must talk about Bill Clinton?

When you are a right wing media outlet, you must criticize Hillary in every article. That is the code.

Tip: This is mostly a story about the NY Times.

I would speculate that perhaps mocking the NY Times about its scathing Rubio pieces has not crossed the bridge into the lefto-sphere but I can see that it has:

Trigger warning: Bill Clinton is not mentioned in stories linked.

That's what I was gonna say.

Headline: Typhoon hits Bangladesh, thousands dead.

Response: Whatever, hypocrite; we still haven't found out what Hillary knew about Benghazi.

Well he is at least not as bad as Hillary who was "dead broke" in her five bedroom house or her seven bedroom house in DC.
