Marco Rubio Campaign Donor Behind Anti-Trump Sky Writing at Rose Bowl

It turns out that the millionaire GOP establishment donor who bankrolled the anti-Donald Trump skywriting at the Rose Bowl parade on New Year’s Day isn’t just any ordinary donor-class millionaire. He’s backing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the man who is emerging as the anti-conservative establishment and donor-class candidate for president in 2016.

Sad Clown: Desperate Jeb! Demands One-on-One Throwdown with The Donald

Bush, who’s lagging down in the polls and has been for months, has been replaced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)—his protege—and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as the new frontrunners in the establishment lane for the GOP nomination. Trump, meanwhile, has dominated polling GOP-wide for more than five months, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)—who’s leading in the conservative lane for the GOP nomination—is beating not just Bush but Rubio and Christie as well in most polling.

Exclusive — ‘Egg On Their Face’: Team Rand Mocks Mainstream Media For False Predictions He Would Not Make Debate Stage

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The presidential campaign of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is mocking the mainstream media after several inside-the-beltway reporters falsely predicted that Paul wouldn’t make the debate stage here on Tuesday evening.

Carly Fiorina’s Unique Skills Can Fix the Dysfunction in Washington, Revive the Economy

I served as the Technology Policy Manager at Hewlett-Packard while Carly was the CEO. While I have held several positions both before working at HP and after leaving, including with Intel Corporation and as a staffer on Capitol Hill, my job working with Carly Fiorina was by far the most gratifying. At the time I was there, Carly and HP were at the forefront of efforts by New Economy companies to create a global marketplace that was safe for consumers, open for business, and beneficial for everyone involved.

EXCLUSIVE — The Long War: GOP Campaigns Brace For Potential Brokered Convention After Protracted Delegate Fight

Several GOP presidential campaigns are openly contemplating the increasingly likely possibility that a 2016 nominee won’t be selected before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in late July. If no candidate secures enough delegates by the time of the convention, then what would happen is what’s called a “brokered convention”—at which time things could get truly interesting.

Ted Cruz Boxes in Marco Rubio on Immigration

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has boxed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) into a corner on immigration. Cruz has come out guns-a-blazing against Rubio all week, firing first and escalating the battle every time Rubio has responded. Now he’s taken the fight to a place where Rubio is caught in a glaring contradiction the likes of which haven’t been seen since his involvement in his landmark legislative achievement—a more-than-thousand-page immigration bill—in his short time serving in the U.S. Senate.

Dr. Ben Carson Signals Openness To Obamatrade’s Pacific Rim Trade Deal

This is the first time Carson himself has weighed in on Obamatrade, and the move comes after his spokesman Doug Watts previously told the Wall Street Journal he was open to it. Watts told the WSJ the day after President Barack Obama’s White House released the 5,544-page, 100-pound, several-feet-high-when-printed-out trade deal that Carson “believes the agreement does help to level the playing field in key markets and is important to improve our ties to trading partners in Asia as a counterbalance to China’s influence in the region.”
