There's no discernible ideological consistency to what he's doing, he believes he can approach every problem like a real estate deal and I think that was one of the shocking things for him.

The numbers are going to be very close and there’s going to be a lot of outreach from Cruz or Kasich or any potential outsider.

Marco Rubio has a certain fluency, and ability to connect with voters, and this will be one of the first times a wider audience has seen it.

To put the referenced e-mail correspondence into context, the dispute surrounding Havana Club rum has been going on for more than 20 years, then-Gov. Bush was responding to inquiries by Mr. Rodriguez and Bacardi to determine what was taking so long in what Bacardi believed to be rather routine measures after the company purchased the legitimate global rights to the Havana Club trademark from the creators and original owners, Jose Arechabala S.A. and the Arechabala family.

Marco Rubio hopes to distinguish Marco Rubio in the Donald Trump wars that have ensnared some Republicans by punching and pivoting — strike clean, precision blows and then immediately pivot back to Marco Rubio agenda and Marco Rubio view of what the race should be about. He does n’t play Trump’s game the way many of the candidates have.

He's an existential risk, not only to the conservative movement, but to the Republican Party, we have reached a point now where we could abandon or lose limited-government conservatives for a generation if we replace it for this statist nationalism and Trumpism as a doctrine for our party.

I love a good negative ad. I'm never going to shy from them, i don't take any of the, 'Oh, you're so negative' stuff to heart. Yeah, you bet. It's still a tool that works.

There's an awful lot of interest now in making certain that Donald Trump doesn't lead to the inevitable election of either Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden by a number of interested conservative outside parties, this has to be like shark attacks. Nip. Nip. Blood. Nip. Blood. Blood. Blood. A feeding frenzy.

Donald Trump is basically conning conservatives. I underestimated how powerfully they want to be conned by this guy, they want to be told they're still going to be loved and respected in the morning. They want the big alpha male to sweep them off their feet and treat them roughly. They want that out of this guy.

He's revealing in this that he's going to be transparent, it's an invitation to the Clintons to open the books.

Dismiss it, walk past it, ignore it. by Rick Wilson

Dismiss it, walk past it, ignore it.

If you are one of the other candidates, particularly one that has a window to victory, it's hard to ignore The Donald ... but that is your best bet.

There is a certain power of an indictment that had not been present in the equation, at this point, it's hard to see what the predicate is for a Chris Christie presidential run.

All the way across the board he was the guy you could count on yesterday to correctly assess the situation. He became the counterweight against the the president, bush handled it, but it was later in the news cycle.
