Nikki Haley Takes Over For Broken Marco “Rubio Bot”

“GIRL YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE …” We’ve often referred to U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as the “Milli Vanilli” candidate.  Everything sounds great … until the tape skips.

“GIRL YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE …”

We’ve often referred to U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as the “Milli Vanilli” candidate.  Everything sounds great … until the tape skips.

Unfamiliar with our pop culture reference?  Don’t worry … it’s been more than a quarter century since Milli Vanilli, a West German pop duo, was stripped of their 1990 Grammy Award for best new artist after they were busted lip syncing to other musicians’ work.

Earlier this week the voice processor on the “Rubio-bot” – the GOP establishment’s last, best hope to keep Donald Trump from capturing the “Republican” presidential nomination – gave out during a campaign stop at the swanky Intercontinental Hotel in the upscale Buckhead suburb of Atlanta.

So Rubio got S.C. governor Nikki Haley to take over for him …

“When you work hard and you fight hard these things happen,” Haley said of Rubio’s voice failure.

Wait … work hard?

Last we checked, Rubio was hardly working.

Nonetheless, Haley downloaded the GOP talking points intended for the “hard-working” Rubio and carried on in his stead – attacking Trump for his past bankruptcies.

“Donald Trump is one who goes after project after project after project,” Haley said. “Every single one of them has failed and now he wants to run for president? This is not a game. We’re not a project.”

Haley went on to assail Trump for his refusal to repudiate an endorsement from a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

“I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the KKK,” she said.  “That is not a part of our party. That is not who we want as president.”

Sheesh … talk about yesterday’s “nontroversy.”

Why not hit Trump on something he should be criticized for?  Like this?  Or this?

Anyway, after regaining his voice, Rubio praised his establishment stand-in for her ability to deliver the attacks he was apparently too hoarse to deliver.

“If you ever need to be pumped up … you call Nikki Haley and she’ll get you going, it’ll be unreal,” he said.

Wow.

That’s true on more levels than he knows …

Rubio’s closing argument to Georgia voters?

“I don’t say this with any glee, but a vote for Donald Trump tomorrow is a vote for Hillary Clinton in November,” Rubio said, adding that if Trump were to win the nomination “the Democrats (and) the press will decent on him like the hounds of hell and they will rip him apart.”

Really?  Like they won’t do the same to Rubio?

Seriously: If that’s his raison d’être, then his campaign is in even worse shape than we thought.

Voters in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming go to the polls on Tuesday – with more than 600 delegates to the 2016 GOP convention up for grabs.  In most of those states, Trump is leading Rubio by healthy margins.

Absolutely true. Trump and FitsNews are working to guarantee a Democrat wins the White House in November….and they’re doing a very good job.

Obama won in 2012 by rallying angry blacks, and there are still more white people in this country than blacks. If Trump can capture 65% of the white vote, Democrats are TOAST.

Rocky Verdad March 1, 2016 at 9:29 am

No Obama won by rallying a diverse set of the electorate including Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, Whites (partucularly educated) gays, straights, Muslims, Catholics…….. get the idea?

Rocky Verdad March 1, 2016 at 9:29 am

Got to 538.com and check out their flip states interactive, be truthfull. Not only does he need 65% of whites, he needs them to turn out at like 75%. Good luck.

Felix Keverich March 1, 2016 at 10:46 am

This guy said Trump had like 2% chance of winning the nomination. He doesn’t have a clue.

Nate Silver has already said Donald Trump would doom the Republican party no matter if Hillary or Bernie won. He was pretty spot on in 2012 and 2014 so yeah I’d listen to him.

If Trump is the nominee none of that will matter.

In fact Eckstrom’s squeeze Payne was running point for the Gypsy Queen that morning moving through the crowd smiling, waving and squeezing everything she could get her hands on

Yep, the establishment will take care of Miss Nikki very well.

Nikki Haley stood there clapping and did not repudiate when Marco Rubio was poking fun of people with little hands. Rubio asked her, you know what they say about men with small hands? yes we know Rubio it’s called dwarfism, we were born this way. The media is really disgusting not to put a stop to them and request they apologize to the millions of Little People Haley and Rubio have insulted . We didn’t do anything to these politicians for them to drag us into their fight, but its on now and we will be asking for both of their resignation for insulting the American People.
