In its infinite wisdom, the republican establishment, now that Marco Rubio is its only viable candidate, is announcing that Bob Dole and Mitt Romney are endorsing Rubio in his bid for the republican nomination.  Because nothing--I mean absolutely nothing--fires up the republican base quite like the endorsements of two moderate republicans who lost imminently winnable elections to candidates (Clinton in '96 and Obama in '12) that the base absolutely despised.

Who, outside of the clueless national media, do they think these men are going to influence?  Because it's really hard to see supporters of either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz suddenly changing their votes based on the words of two men they think are twits that lost to the womanizer and the black guy.

Jeez, I should have been a republican adviser--if only I'd known when I was young that they were more than happy to pay fortunes for bad advice.  

I could have given them plenty of that.

Peace,
