Wow! I posted this on Twitter and he followed me. He has 1 million followers and only follows a little over 2000 people. I'm honored. |

He was so kind in his response. I wonder how others would have answered? I believe Cruz and Carson would have done well. |

An atheists asks a question, and he evangelizes him. _________________ Link |

What stood out to me was that he did not make the questioner feel excluded from the group even though the questioner had a different viewpoint from the majority in the room.
I can't see that happening with a candidate like Huckabee, for example. |

I don't know about that. I think Huckabee would have used a similar approach. Huckabee seems very personable, the type of person who makes other people feel comfortable talking with him.
I don't know if Cruz could have pulled off making the questioner feel excluded from the group.
I don't know that the questioner did not feel excluded from the Rubio group, either, no matter how well Rubio handled it.
Rubio is a Roman Catholic who has been influenced by evangelical preaching. He seems to have a good grasp of ethics and morality, IMO, for someone in his field. _________________ Link |

You are infatuated with a guy who followed you on Twitter. Move on. Rubio is a Washington thug. We need anti establishment fast. Either Cruz or trump. |

Infatuated? 😂😂😂
I like the guy. I don't even know if I'll vote for him. I would if it were today but I'm still doing research. I suspect every candidate has issues. They are people. But infatuated? That's weird, dude. |

It's an honor that one of his campaign volunteers clicked the follow button?
It could be him.
I posted that video on Facebook after you did. A Roman Catholic isn't my first pick, but I do like Rubio and wouldn't mind having him for president. _________________ Link |

Unfortunately I could not understand the response, but I do like Rubio. I like his stance. Not sure he has a chance, but establishment? Heck, You do not know that until after the inauguration, ANY OF THEM!
I just hope the GOP picks the one that CAN WIN!
Too many folks think Hillary is going down the tubes because of the e-mails, I hope that is true, but most likely that will not happen. I WOULD have happened if Biden had thrown in his hat.
Now I just want the one who can WIN. We may know something after the first two primary votes. My best is wished for Rubio.  _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

That's a very different circumstance from what Rubio was dealing with. I think I'd think most people would be insulted and angry if someone accused me of supporting the same thing. _________________ Link |

That was a good column.
We have in this race a practical messiah of fiscal conservatism, and people who claim they want fiscal conservatism are flocking to someone who is telling them what they want to hear, but has a record that clearly indicates strong support for tax and spend liberalism. It is mystifying and dismaying. |

What good does a fiscal conservative do if nothing gets passed?
Need someone to shake things up - status quo must change.
Trump is the only one with a chance of doing that.
Otherwise 4 more years of the same.
If he turns out to be Hillary Jr., what have we lost - nothing. If he fixes our money issues - we win.

It is an honor to me only because of the numbers. I have other famous people that follow me as well but their numbers are more equal followers/followed. In this case it's 1 million followers/2500 followed. And, I'm not stupid. I know that he has a social media assistant. It is interesting that an assistant wouldn't follow most people back. It seems like that would work in his favor.
I am fairly social media savvy for my age. I understand what's going on. |

I don't want to sidetrack this thread. That is just an example of Huckabee's passive aggressive demeanor. Rubio doesn't come across that way. It's a personality thing. Huckabee just recently threw evangelical leaders under the bus because they supported Cruz instead of him. Huckabee accused them of not wanting him to win because he would enact the things they are fighting for, thereby depriving them of their fundraising ability. Huckabee's pleasant enough IF you agree with him, but when you don't watch out for a mixture of scolding and whining.
That's my opinion, and it's not really related to policy, just personality.

Huckabee has no shot and should bow out along with most of the others. I get it. Nobody has voted yet but surely their inside polling shows them that there's no chance of winning, |

Pretty sure you can't say that about Cruz, the establishment hates him. Bob Dole came out and said that Cruz doesn't go along to get along (as if that's a bad thing, especially coming from the lame Bob Dole, we all know how he fared against a Clinton, lets just go with his guy!).
The establishment is so afraid of Ted Cruz that it appears they have embraced Donald Trump based on Bob Dole and Sarah Palin's support. Looks like the establishment has already chosen their "lesser of two evils", might as well pick the guy who gave them all money at one point or another. |
