Like Protege, like Mentor: Rubio and Bush are BOTH Running from their Miserable Records
It's not just Jeb Bush who is feeling the heat for his unprincipled positions this week. Marco Rubio backed up his mentor in a deja vu - inducing swing on whether he would have invaded Iraq in 2003. This is reminiscent of Rubio's immigration reform flip-flop and it's raising questions about his preparedness for the presidency. Rubio's panicked sprint from his own immigration bill continues to haunt him after he tied his political fate to the bill's success. Rubio and Bush -- protege and mentor -- can't hide from their past positions.
GOP busted in immigration doublespeak days before 2016 hopefuls kiss King’s ring
After American Bridge busted Republicans speaking out of both sides of their mouths on immigration reform last night, the Washington press corps is taking note of one of the most cynical political ploys you’ll ever see. And remember-- this is just days before 2016 hopefuls fly to Iowa to kiss Steve King’s ring. King, for his part, didn’t mix messages last night, sticking to calling one of the president’s guests “a deportable.”

VIDEO/MEMO: Christie's State of Controversy
Chris Christie’s reelection last November was supposed to propel him into the pole position for the race to the White House. However, the timing of his victory coincided with the release of a damning excerpt from Double Down: Game Change 2012 by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. Unwittingly transcribing the prologue for 2016, Halperin and Heilemann recounted the incredulity with which Romney’s VP selection committee discovered the preponderance of scandals in Christie’s wake.
The verdict is in: Virginia GOP ticket is a disaster
Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli did not get to choose his running mate. But E.W. Jackson is everything – short of experience, competency, and electability – Cuccinelli could have hoped for in a Lieutenant Governor.
With the spate of recent headlines, one might question why Cuccinelli would say of Jackson “I’m glad he’s on this ticket”:
Todd Akin, Virginia Style (Roll Call)
Virginia Republicans Panicking Over Their Choice for Lieutenant Governor (National Journal)
Bill Bolling: GOP pick E.W. Jackson's remarks ‘indefensible’ (POLITICO)
Virginia Republicans Aren’t Flocking To Anti-Gay Lieutenant Governor Hopeful (BuzzFeed)
But Cuccinelli and Jackson share a radical conservative worldview that is too extreme for Virginia. Jackson’s sudden emergence has caused his comments to draw the majority of the attention of late. Don’t forget that the man Republicans have nominated at the top of the ticket has his own history of outrageous comments that make Cuccinelli and Jackson a perfect match.
