The Neocons Return
The neocons are back. That is, at least in Marco Rubio’s world. The Florida senator and potential 2016 presidential candidate has, since his election in 2010, regularly consulted with and sought the advice of top neoconservative writers and policymakers, several of whom served in the administration of George W. Bush. His loose circle of advisers includes former national-security adviser Stephen Hadley, former deputy national-security adviser Elliott Abrams, Brookings Institution scholar and former Reagan-administration aide Robert Kagan, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, and former Missouri senator Jim Talent.
To this group, beating back the rising tide of non-interventionism in the Republican party is a top priority, and they consider Rubio a candidate, if not the candidate, capable of doing so. “I think it’s very important that any isolationist arguments be defeated well and be defeated early,” says a neoconservative foreign-policy expert who talks with Rubio frequently.

I am super happy he's running again, too. But for different reasons. In 2008, I predicted there would never be a Republican president again. In 2012, I felt even more sure with a group of candidates who were completely out of touch. And now, in 2016, the GOP line-up has made being a delightfully racist boor totally hip again. Trump set up the pins and the other republican candidates and conservative media knocked them down, exposing their base for what they are.
I really really really don't think they will ever get over half of our nation's support ever again. Ironically, I agree that Trump is the best GOP candidate up there right now. Thanks Trump!

Rubio or Cruz have no experience at running a Country.
I will vote Trump over Cruz and Rubio anyday. They're both Neocons and those guys are dangerous. Trump told the truth about Iraq and the advisors around Bush and they were livid. Here's more on Cruz:

The Neocons are a dangerous and sneaky bunch. When Reagan picked Bush as a running mate, this opened the door to these clowns. Trump will destroy and finally end the era of Bush.

Im not sayng that Cruz or Rubio is any better, but hey, what is wrong with Carson and Kasich ?
They uttered intelligence and thougt. Carson even asked to be attacked, so he could speak! Amazing!
Trump, Cruz and Rubio was just slinging mud all the time. Trump telling fairytales, Rubio and Cruz killing the fairytales. Those 3 have nothing to put on the table!
One gotta think 4 years ahead?

The Era of Bush is over. Bush withdrew. I would say, one dynasty down, one more to go... [clintons]
But hell, Trump is the worst choice. and then again, all you got is bad choices, so i understand your frustration. Sad thing is that you have to choose between pest, cholera or anthrax!
People will say he's not a true Conservative but neither was Reagan. Reagan has been turned into a myth.
. Having been a lifelong liberal Democrat, his views changed. He became a conservative and in 1962 switched to the Republican Party. In 1964

Obama, Hillary and Bernie have done the same for the Dems.
The left better step back and see what the repubs are doing or they won't see the WH for a longer time.
