Rubio hopes to recover by focusing on Obama, treason

Not The Onion!

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/rubio-hopes-recover-focusing-obama-treason

As recently as last week, things couldn’t have been much better for Marco Rubio. The media celebrated his third-place finish in Iowa as if it were a victory; endorsements came rushing in; mega-donors starting lining up; and polls showed him on track for a strong, second-place finish in New Hampshire....

Last week, however, suddenly seems like a long time ago. Rubio choked in Saturday night’s debate, embarrassed himself at the worst possible moment, and appears to have come in fifth in New Hampshire. No GOP candidate has ever finished worse than second and gone on to win the nomination. Rubio’s chances appear to have been shattered....

For any adult looking at reality, it obviously is not the truth, but let’s not brush past the specifics of this pitch too quickly. Rubio believes he sees a secret plan, hatched by the president of the United States, “to weaken America” deliberately.

In other words, Rubio’s comeback plan involves telling voters that President Obama is somehow guilty of treason.

Robotorubio doesn't even do that. He's part of the problem and not a part of the solution!

pandering to the paranoid nutjobs that make up the base of the republican party and decided to try and get in on the action.

That's all I can make out from this. Maybe he's also looking for an endorsement from the oh so level headed Glenn Beck.
