The Bush camp keeps threatening to attack Marco Rubio … then sitting back while Rubio effectively counter-punches before the threatened attack even materializes.

“There is a third of the Republican electorate-not two-thirds, not a half-that is nativistic and anti-Hispanic and is pushing the party to the right on these issues”, said Simon Rosenberg, a veteran of both of Bill Clinton’s runs for the White House.
Besides, the French do not vote in our campaigns, as Bush nemesis Donald Trump mockingly pointed out.
