Today is a disappointing day for true conservatives in the GOP.
After waiting for him to announce his choice for the party’s nod in 2016, Republicans were shocked to hear that Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) endorsed Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Effusive in his praise for the senator, Gowdy hailed him as a “rock solid conservative” deserving of the GOP’s support and loyalty.
This is the part were actual rock solid conservatives say, “I’m sorry, what?”
Rubio is a lot of things. A rock solid conservative is not one of them.

♦ Marco Rubio – Establishment elite cartel footsoldier.
Marco Rubio is a one term junior Senator from Florida who was the protege’ to Jeb while Rubio was a leader in the Florida legislature (Speaker of the Florida House) and Jeb Bush was governor.
Through the five years of his DC tenure Rubio has been increasingly aligned with the establishment class of GOPe DC insiders. His fundamental ideological alignments are in synergy with his mentor Jeb, and most are aware his overall favorability within the conservative base, ie. Tea Party electorate, has diminished greatly. In the past two years he has been in lock-step with the party bosses.
Rubio’s goal on behalf of the RNC/GOPe plan was/is to split the Florida electorate away from a more conservative ‘non-jeb’ candidate. Florida polling has shown this strategy is largely successful, sans the unanticipated popularity of Donald Trump.
As a one-term senator with no accumulated wealth, a family and two small children, Rubio cannot run for re-election and also run as a presidential candidate. This highlights one of the ‘tells’. Why would a young, one-term senator give up losing his political career with a long-shot presidential bid? The answer is a Jeb Bush/Tom Donohue golden parachute.
I do not like that deal. I’m very disappointed in Trey.
Rubio is not a conservative…Trey shame on you thought you were smarter than this
rubio is a hillary wantabe..bought and paid for…vote Trump
Another story used by media, politicians, and international corporations to keep you from thinking about Gerrymandering, an 11% congressional approval rate, an 85% re-election rate, and less that 100 people owning half the PLANET’S wealth… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYLbPoj3fRY
r u kidding me, come on trey
TRUMP 2016
Rubio turned into or always was establishment gaebage
John Boehner did not pick Trey Gowdy for the Benghazi committee for nothing. And nothing was what we got. Trey, who I like, was either downright dishonest or honestly misled us. The result was the same.
