Politico: GOP Congcritters Think That Ryan Has Done An Awesome Job
Sad thing is, they're pro'lly right...

#1  Better than Boehner but what does that say? The folks in Washington are out of touch with their constituents. The Trump phenomena seems to indicate that. People of both parties are ticked off and view Congress as lower than a whale turd.

#2  Omnibus Funding Bill

nuff said.

#3  JQC, the folks in DC are NOT out of touch with their constituents, they ARE their own constituents (along with the rest of the joint insider party).

#4  There is your problem GOP. This is what created the beast that became Trump.

Marco Rubio wins Puerto Rico Republican primary
[Iran Press TV] Florida Senator Marco Rubio has won the US Republican primary election in Puerto Rico, where 23 delegates are at stake, according to US media projections.

With about 86 percent of the precincts reported on Sunday, Rubio had 74 percent of the vote, with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in second with about 13 percent.

Residents of Puerto Rico, a US territory located in the northeastern Caribbean, have American citizenship but cannot vote in the general election. However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
they can participate in the primary process.

#1  Rubio wins support of bankrupt state ?
Posted by: Besoeker || 03/07/2016 4:36 Comments || Top||

#2  They can vote in the primaries but not in the general election? By my reckoning, that doesn't count for much.
Posted by: JohnQC || 03/07/2016 7:30 Comments || Top||

#3  It counts a lot
1) Shows Rubio has the Hispanic vote
2) Rubio needs every delegate he can get

#4  Who else did they see as giving them a chance for Free Stuff a bailout?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 03/07/2016 8:32 Comments || Top||

#5  Congratulations Marco. You finally won one. Now go home.

#6  Rubio got his win, time to fold up the tent and get real about stopping Trump. And that means backing Cruz as much as people may not like the guy personally. Small government, constitutionalist. VP Rubio to be the attack dog, or VP Kasich to win Ohio, those are the decisions to make, stopping Trump from getting blown up by the progressiv press and handing it to Hillary in the general election.

#7  What makes you think the progressive press won't blow up Cruz?
Posted by: bman || 03/07/2016 12:43 Comments || Top||

#8  What makes you believe that Cruz will close even one alphabet agency (that just doesn't shift under another name or entity)? Who are the ones really fooling themselves?

#9  Rubio had 74 percent of the vote
"His people"

#10  Yay?
Posted by: DarthVader || 03/07/2016 16:49 Comments || Top||

#11  People that can't run an island think you would be good at running a country. File this one under "Damning with Faint Praise", Marco.
