Ouch! Half of Florida Voters Think Bush and Rubio Should Drop Out of Race
Shocking!
Half of Floridians think Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush should quit the presidential race.
This had to hurt.
The Hill reported:Almost 50 percent of Florida voters say that former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio should end their respective bids for the Republican presidential nomination, according to a new poll.
A survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) finds that 47 percent of voters in the Sunshine State say Bush should drop out, while 40 percent say he should stick with it.
Forty-eight percent also say Rubio should drop out, while 42 percent say the senator, who has opted to run for president instead of seeking a second term in the Senate, should not drop out of the race.A similar survey from the polling outfit released last week found that 78 percent of Republicans in South Carolina thought Sen. Lindsey Graham should end his 2016 GOP bid.
Bush and Rubio are thought to be top contenders for the GOP nomination, but are polling in single digits nationally behind billionaire businessman Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
In the latest poll of Florida, which holds its primaries in mid-March, Trump is supported by 28 percent of GOP primary voters, followed by Carson (17 percent), Bush (13 percent) and Rubio (10 percent).

WHAT MEDIA BIAS? USA Today Headline Asks: “If Donald Trump Wins, What Country Would You Flee to?”
It’s hard to imagine a national news outlet like USA Today asking this question about Obama in 2008, isn’t it? That’s because it never would have happened. Even today, substitute Trump’s name with Hillary in the headline below and you’ll hear cries of sexism from the left.
Yet somehow, this is acceptable…
If Donald Trump wins, what country would you flee to?
This might be one solution to the nation’s immigration problem: Donald Trump haters on Twitter say they will flee the country if he becomes president.
In our favorite social media analysis so far this year, the digital analytics firm Luminoso scoured 4.5 million Trump-related tweets from Aug. 7 through Sept. 9 and found about 4% of them were people promising to leave the country if Trump wins the White House.
Here are the top destinations in those 200,000 “intent to move” tweets:
- Mexico: 75,000
- General: 69,000 (“I’m moving if Trump is elected” but no location specified)
- Canada: 25,000
- United Kingdom: 11,000
- Australia: 6,000
- Alaska: 5,800
- France: 2,000
- Hawaii: 1,500
- Jamaica: 1,200
- Ireland: 1,100
- Sweden: 1,000
- Brazil: 1,000
Certainly the folks moving to Hawaii and Alaska may be surprised to arrive and discover that Trump is still their president because those places are actually part of the United States.
Here’s a screen capture in case USA Today decides to delete this:
Our media is as corrupt as the Democratic Party and is working in collusion with them.

Bobby Jindal Unloads on Trump – 16 Insults in One Op-Ed
Bobby Jindal Thinks a Pile of Insults Will Save His Flailing Campaign
This latest editorial on Trump is really beneath him.It’s clear Governor Jindal has given up on anything that would resemble a high road, Christian intellectual’s campaign, highlighting his accomplishments and conservative credentials. It looks like he’s decided to hurl insult after insult instead.
In a CNN op-ed today Bobby Jindal unloaded, once again, on Donald Trump.
In today’s screed he piles on both Trump and Cruz with all the seriousness and intellectual heft, not to mention Christian charity, of a drunken sailor.
We’ve saved you the trouble of wading through Bobby’s string of insults, masquerading as a CNN op-ed today, by listing them here:
** Shallow
** Unserious
** Substance-free
** Narcissistic
** Egomaniac (2)
** Not intellectually curious
** (Self-serving atheist – implied)
** Narcissist
** Insecure
** Weak
** Afraid
** Kid
** Terrible statesman
** A madman who must be stopped (has Bobby ever applied this label to our lawless president?)
** A walking punchlineHe also likens Ted Cruz to a reality show contestant and a “limpet [clinging] to an oil tanker”. Nuff said. To Bobby, bye Felicia.
It is telling that Republican candidates and GOP elites have never put up this much resistance to Obama.

Cruz: 'I will rip to shreds' the Iran deal
By Julian Hattem - 09/16/15 08:53 PM EDT
Sen. Ted Cruz pledged on Wednesday that he would “rip to shreds” President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, and questioned the credentials of those who disagreed.
“If I am elected president, on the very first day in office I will rip to shreds this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal,” the Texas Republican said during the second GOP presidential debate.
“If there’s anyone up here who would be bound by this catastrophic deal with Iran, they’re giving up their core responsibility as commander in chief.”
Cruz’s comments, which were echoed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), appeared to be a swipe at Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who have been more reluctant to pledge to tear up the deal.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen in 18 months,” Kasich said at the main-stage debate, while adding that he opposed the deal in the first place.
“We are stronger when we work with the Western civilization — our friends in Europe,” he added. “Just doing it on our own, I don’t think, is the right policy.”
“It’s not a strategy to tear up an agreement,” echoed Bush. “A strategy would be how do we confront Iran?”
The candidates’ sparring over the path forward on the Iran deal points to a growing divide in strategy about how to confront a nuclear Iran. The split has played itself out on Capitol Hill, where Republicans have debated among themselves about the best strategy to undermine the pact.

Paul backs Trump on birthright citizenship
By Ben Kamisar
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) jumped to the defense of Donald Trump's call to end birthright citizenship just an hour after the GOP front-runner called the senator unfit to be on the debate stage Wednesday night.
"I hate to say it, but Donald Trump has a bit of a point here," Paul said at the California event, adding that the Supreme Court case that interprets the 14th Amendment to include birthright citizenship happened in the early 1900s and discussed someone with a green card.
"There's never been a direct Supreme Court case on people who are here illegally, whether their kids are citizens. It hasn't been completely adjudicated."
The issue of birthright citizenship dominated the GOP field last month after Trump released his immigration platform that called to end the policy.
"The 14th Amendment says very, very clearly to a lot of scholars, not television scholars, legal scholars, that it is wrong," Trump said of the interpretation that allows birthright citizenship.
"Mexico and almost every other country in the world doesn’t have that. We are the only ones dumb enough, stupid enough.”
Fellow 2016 hopeful Carly Fiorina pushed back against the idea of changing that interpretation, noting that it would take a long time to either push a case through to the Supreme Court or to work a constitutional amendment through Congress.
“Meanwhile what will continue to go on is what's been going on for 25 years — nothing," she said.
Fiorina blamed President Obama for not dealing with the issue despite running on it during his campaign for the presidency, adding that "Democrats don't want this issue solved, they want it to be an issue that they can use."

Top Dems blast call for special counsel on Clinton emails
Greg NashBy Julian Hattem - 09/16/15 05:04 PM EDT
The top Democrats on the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees are railing against a Republican's call for the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
In separate statements on Wednesday, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said that the proposal from No. 2 Senate Republican John Cornyn (Texas) would be a politically motivated waste of taxpayer dollars.
“The State Department — in coordination with the intelligence community — is already reviewing Secretary Clinton’s emails for public release,” Feinstein said in her statement.
“Instead of wasting more taxpayer dollars, the process in place to review and release Secretary Clinton’s emails, which she has welcomed, should be allowed to continue,” she added. “Calls for a special counsel are purely political and completely unnecessary.”
Leahy, meanwhile pointed out that the department has yet to indicate whether it launched a criminal investigation, even though the FBI has taken control of her server.
“I do not question the integrity or ability of Attorney General [Loretta] Lynch or FBI Director [James] Comey — and certainly do not see any conflict or extraordinary circumstances that would warrant a special counsel,” he said in a statement shared with The Hill. “Such a suggestion is nothing more than yet another political ploy that would compound the growing pile of taxpayer dollars that already has been wasted on this politically motivated quest.”
Feinstein is the vice chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, and Leahy is the ranking member of the Judiciary panel.
The statements follow Cornyn’s request Tuesday that Lynch appoint a special counsel for Clinton’s emails, given the “extraordinary circumstances” surrounding her use of a personal email address and private server while serving as secretary of State.
“Americans deserve the assurance that justice — and justice alone — is being pursued,” Cornyn wrote in his letter.
An aide to Cornyn suggested that Leahy and Feinstein were being hypocritical, since they have previously called for special counsels to be brought in on previous cases.
“Despite both senators seeking the appointment of a special counsel on multiple occasions in the past, when it comes to Secretary Clinton purposely hiding information from the American people only then is it a waste of taxpayer dollars,” the aide said.
The bickering is part of a larger change in tune for Senate Republicans, who had mostly been silent on the growing scrutiny on Clinton’s email use.GOP members of the House Committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, had previously been the Capitol’s main attack dogs on Clinton, but Senate Republicans have started to elbow their way into the debate. In addition to Cornyn, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Homeland Security Committee chief Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have also waded into the firestorm over Clinton’s emails.
The jostling is only likely to intensify in coming weeks and months as the race for the White House enters a higher gear.

Trump calls North Korean leader a 'maniac'
By Jesse Byrnes
Donald Trump said the U.S. should pay more attention to North Korea's nuclear program, calling its leader a "maniac" during the second main-stage GOP presidential debate on Wednesday night.
"We're talking about Iran. The agreement was terrible, it was incompetent. I've never seen anything like it. One of the worst contracts I've ever seen," said Trump, the Republican front-runner.
"Nobody ever mentions North Korea, where you have this maniac, sitting there, and he actually has nuclear weapons," he added of leader Kim Jong Un.
Pyongyang announced this week that it had restarted the reactor at its main nuclear complex and could use nuclear weapons against the U.S. or others at "any time."
That announcement from the isolated communist government came shortly after the country said it had plans in the works to launch a long-range rocket.
During the debate, several candidates blasted President Obama for brokering a nuclear accord with Iran over its nuclear program.
Trump has blasted the Iranian deal, but lamented the lack of attention on North Korea, a declared nuclear-weapons state.
"You have somebody right now, in North Korea, who's got nuclear weapons and who is saying almost every other week, 'I'm ready to use them.' And we don't even mention it," he said.
