"We're Finished With Rubio" (UPDATED)



The Republican establishment's hope and future spokesperson for Aquafina Sen. Marco "Roboto" Rubio is developing a penchant for finishing behind Messrs. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz and Donald "Rump" Trump.  In fact, on Super Tuesday, young Roboto finished 3rd in 8 of the 11 contests, winning only the caucus in Minnesota (Bachmannland). His recent spinning of his losses as "momentum" are risible and pathetic.

If his track record wasn't bad enough, young Roboto is losing the support of the Fux "News" right-wing bs generator.  According to a report in New York magazine, head Fuxer Roger "Jabba The Nut" Ailes has passed the word to his on-air propagandists to cool it on the Roboto-love. The report notes that three sources have confirmed that Jabba has lost confidence in Roboto's ability to win, and told one of his hosts, "We're finished with Rubio. We can't do the Rubio thing anymore."

A lot of Rethuglican voters are coming to the same conclusion.

UPDATE:  It certainly looks like the Fuxers, led by the execrable Rupert "Aargh!" Murdoch -- arguably the outfit most responsible for the rise of fascistic Trumpism -- are getting ready to line up behind Rump, starting with tonight's Fux- hosted "debate."
