That was radio host Glenn Beck’s assessment Friday of Marco Rubio’s continued presence in the Republican presidential race.
The Florida senator is following what Beck called “marching orders” from Republican leaders to create a brokered convention in which deals must be made to give any candidate the 1,237 delegates needed to win.
“There’s no pathway for him to win, there’s only a pathway for a brokered convention. And that leads to civil war. And that leads to more disenfranchisement,” he said, noting that Rubio has said his campaign is about amassing delegates, not winning states.
“If Marco Rubio had, let’s say, 300 and Trump had 1,000, you would then have Rubio go to Trump and say, ‘Put me on the ticket, and I’ll get — I’ll put you over the top,’” Beck said, giving an example of how a brokered convention could play out. “I believe that Marco Rubio is playing for vice president now or a brokered convention to where he can wield that kind of power, because there’s no winning” . . .
Beck said that if neither Rubio or Cruz do well Tuesday, “neither … can win the presidency and take the nomination from Donald Trump.” (Read more from “Glenn Beck Just Revealed the One Reason He Thinks Marco Rubio Is Staying in the Race” HERE)

Hillary Clinton received a small victory on Monday when the State Department announced that the Intelligence Community’s office of the inspector general “was not correct” in its initial assessment that an email she received in 2009 contained “Top Secret” information.
The email in question — which Clinton received on July 3, 2009 and discusses North Korea’s nuclear program — will be re-classified as “Secret,” according to State Department spokesman John Kirby.
He said it will be published on the agency’s website Monday evening, along with 3,800 new pages of Clinton’s emails. The release marks the 14th and final production of Clinton’s emails in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Vice News’ Jason Leopold.
“The document does not contain ‘Top Secret’ information,” Kirby told reporters Monday. “At the request of the Intelligence Community a limited amount of information in this document has been provisionally upgraded to ‘Secret’” . . .
The State Department and Clinton first disputed the email’s classification in July, when Intelligence Community inspector general I. Charles McCullough III informed the State Department of its assessment. (Read more from “State Department Just Made a Huge Claim About Clinton Email Scandal” HERE)

Nearly 20,000 Bay State Democrats have fled the party this winter, with thousands doing so to join the Republican ranks, according to the state’s top elections official.
Secretary of State William Galvin said more than 16,300 Democrats have shed their party affiliation and become independent voters since Jan. 1, while nearly 3,500 more shifted to the MassGOP ahead of tomorrow’s “Super Tuesday” presidential primary.
Galvin called both “significant” changes that dwarf similar shifts ahead of other primary votes, including in 2000, when some Democrats flocked from the party in order to cast a vote for Sen. John McCain in the GOP primary.
The primary reason? Galvin said his “guess” is simple: “The Trump phenomenon,” a reference to GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, who polls show enjoying a massive lead over rivals Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and others among Massachusetts Republican voters.
“The tenor of the Republican campaign has been completely different from what we’ve seen in prior Republican presidential campaigns,” Galvin said. “You have to look no farther than the viewership for some of the televised debates.

There is more than one con man in this race for president.
Most certainly we can say that Trump’s supporters erroneously think he is Jeff Sessions on immigration and a conservative on some other issues, but even most of Rubio’s supporters have no idea how committed their candidate is to open borders. Rubio gets up at every debate and feigns outrage over the border and completely lies about his past. He has even said that his amnesty bill was never designed to pass.
Anyone who fought this issue at the time remembers that Rubio promoted this bill with a presidential campaign-style media battle. The notion that he didn’t fight for open borders is as false as the notion that Rubio was responsible for getting rid of the “risk corridors” bailout in Obamacare. Now the New York Times is reporting that Rubio and Schumer collaborated with Fox News to lie to conservatives about the immigration bill in a full-throttle effort to get the bill passed:
A few weeks after Senator Marco Rubio joined a bipartisan push for an immigration overhaul in 2013, he arrived alongside Senator Chuck Schumer at the executive dining room of News Corporation’s Manhattan headquarters for dinner.
Their mission was to persuade Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the media empire, and Roger Ailes, the chairman and chief executive of its Fox News division, to keep the network’s on-air personalities from savaging the legislation and give it a fighting chance at survival.
Mr. Murdoch, an advocate of immigration reform, and Mr. Ailes, his top lieutenant and the most powerful man in conservative television, agreed at the Jan. 17, 2013, meeting to give the senators some breathing room.
Rubio left no stone unturned in trying to champion Obama’s immigration agenda and register 20 million new Democratic voters at a time when Obama was inviting the newest border crisis.
Unfortunately, the one man who actually fought amnesty is now sandwiched between two con men that refuse to follow the honorable example of Jeb Bush and run on the veracity of their true convictions.
Let’s remember, no candidate will ever run in a primary openly supporting amnesty, lest they suffer the fate of Jeb Bush.
Well, who better than the owner of Fox News himself to reveal to us who he trusts to implement their agenda, the agenda revealed in the New York Times article.
Both "establishment" Republicans and Trump need to cool it and close ranks to fight real enemy. Trump, Rubio, Kasich could all win general.
It comes as no surprise that Murdoch would cheer on Rubio and Kasich. But notice how he added Trump to the list of those he deems acceptable in a general election. Guess who was left off that list? The one man the entire establishment hates and views as an existential threat to their existence: Ted Cruz.
It’s up to conservatives to be discerning as to which candidate will actually remain faithful to the conservative message the day after the primaries are over. Anyone who is tired of the political establishment and its puppet masters should look carefully at the actions of Fox leadership; it won’t be too hard to ascertain whom they really fear.
Pro tip: If the people we are fighting don’t really fear your candidate, they probably have good reason. (For more from the author of “Rubio/Fox News Axis Exposed” please click HERE)
By Julia Hahn. Sen. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama is warning that the 2016 election could determine whether the Gang of Eight, a group of senators who pushed for allowing greater immigration, runs the White House.
Presidential contender Sen. Marco Rubio was a key member of the Gang. Sessions is emphasizing that powerful forces behind the Gang of Eight are only getting started, and the same special interest coalition is already planning its next push for open borders.
Sessions began his remarks with an effort to correct the record on claims from Senator Rubio about Senator Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Every step of the way Ted Cruz was on my side and fought this legislation all the way through,” Sessions declared. “People need to remember this because this election is going to decide– did the crowd who pushed that bill, are they in the White House? And will they be able to continue their agenda? Or will somebody else be there who will say, ‘No.’”
Sessions explained that despite the American people’s clear repudiation of their plan, the Gang of Eight remains determined to implement their border-opening immigration agenda as soon as they have another chance. “I will say one more time,” Sessions proclaimed, “They are not through. They are determined. They’ve got money, interest groups, power, media that support this agenda and the next president who gets elected is going to determine what kind of immigration system we have.” (Read more from “Jeff Sessions Just Issued a Major Warning About Marco Rubio – People Need to Realize This” HERE)

FLASHBACK: Sean Hannity Supported a ‘Pathway to Citizenship’ Before ‘Gang of 8’ Bill
By Derek Hunter. Talk radio and Fox News host Sean Hannity is one of the biggest opponents of amnesty for illegal immigrants, but that wasn’t always the case.
Hannity, who has anti-immigration candidate Donald Trump on his shows more frequently than any other presidential hopeful and has been a staunch critic of Florida Senator Marco Rubio‘s past on the issue, supported a pathway to full citizenship for illegals in late as 2012 — months before the “Gang of 8” amnesty bill was written and when the New York Times says Rubio “pushed for immigration reform with conservative media.”
On his radio show, Hannity regularly talks of how he’s asked Rubio if his involvement with the “Gang of 8” immigration bill was a mistake, something Rubio won’t directly admit. But Hannity himself supported amnesty in the bill long before then. (Read more from “FLASHBACK: Sean Hannity Supported a ‘Pathway to Citizenship’ Before ‘Gang of 8’ Bill” HERE)

By Greg Richter. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump for president on Sunday afternoon just two days before that state participates in the first multi-state primary day.
“Wow, what a crowd this is!” Sessions shouted to a crowd of more than 30,000 in a high school football stadium in Madison, Alabama.
“I told Donald Trump, this isn’t a campaign, this is a movement,” said the four-term Republican, who is one of the leading conservative voices in the Senate. “Look at what’s happening. The American people are not happy with their government. So some say, you know, you just need to let the people calm down a little bit and they’ll forget it and let it all go. Should we forget it? No we should not.”
This year may be the last opportunity to fix illegal immigration, Sessions said.
“You have asked for 30 years, and politicians have promised for 30 years to fix illegal immigration. Have they done it?” he asked. (Read more from “Trump Just Landed yet Another Massive Endorsement” HERE)

Chris Christie Slammed for Donald Trump Endorsement
By Fredreka Schouten. Meg Whitman, the CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and a top supporter of Chris Christie’s failed presidential bid, on Sunday sharply criticized the New Jersey governor’s endorsement of Donald Trump as “an astonishing display of political opportunism.”
“Donald Trump is unfit to be president,” Whitman, who served as Christie’s national finance co-chair, said in a statement to NBC. “He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears.” Whitman called on Christie’s donors and supporters to “reject the governor and Donald Trump outright” . . .
Christie’s surprise endorsement Friday of Trump roiled Republican political circles, and the New Jersey governor faced intense questioning Sunday about that decision on ABC’s This Week. Christie acknowledged that he still disagrees with Trump on an array of policy issues, such as whether to overhaul Social Security.

The State Department turned over 1,600 pages of previously undisclosed documents related to Hillary Clinton and Libya to the House Benghazi committee on Friday, a month after it revealed the existence of the documents in an unrelated court case.
The House Select Committee on Benghazi announced it received the records on Friday, adding that the State Department has yet to fully comply with document requests the committee made nearly a year ago.
“Today the State Department turned over more than 1,600 pages of new documents related to former Secretary Clinton and Libya,” the committee said. “The State [Department] claimed in a January 8th court filing that it only recently discovered these new documents from the Office of the Secretary.”
In January, the State Department disclosed in a court filing that it had recently discovered “thousands” of new documents related to Clinton’s tenure and the Benghazi attack. The filing was in response to a lawsuit by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which has been seeking records from Clinton’s time at the State Department.

Almost 77,000 refugees came to communities all across America in the last federal fiscal year, with more on the way if the Obama administration gets its way.
“Islam is coming to America in full force thanks to the Obama administration’s willingness to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees over the next couple of years,” wrote John S. Roberts on Young Conservatives in response to refugee data posted on Weasel Zippers that provides a breakdown of the cities and states where 76,922 refugees were resettled.
At a rally Monday in Helena, Mont., which according to the federal list had no refugees settled in 2015, showed the feeling stirred by the refugee issue and the administration’s plans to resettle Syrian refugees.
“I would love to be able to open the doors and let everyone in. But we’ve already got lots of people out of work and stuff,” said Jim Buterbaugh, the rally’s organizer. “We’ve got people living on the streets that we need to take care of. To throw the doors open and just bring everybody in here, we’ll have everybody on the streets.”
“They’re not the true refugees, the Christian Muslims are the true refugees,” Buterbaugh said. “The Muslims, the Islamic Muslims, they can stay where they are.” (Read more from “Here’s How Many Refugees Have Been Settled Across America – Your City Could Be on the List” HERE)

“We have a system of taxation in this country that is horribly wrong,” Dr. Ben Carson said at Thursday night’s debate. He wants to “ret rid of” the Internal Revenue Service.
“You know, I never had an audit until I spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast, and then all of a sudden, they came in, they said we just want to look at your real estate dealings.” (Carson’s well-received speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013 launched his political career.)
“And then they didn’t find anything, so they said let’s look at the whole year. And they didn’t find anything, so they said let’s look at the next year and the next year. They didn’t find anything and they won’t find anything because I’m a very honest person.
“But the fact of the matter is, the IRS is not hones, and we need to get rid of them” . . .
With most of the debate centering on Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, Carson drew laughter at one point when he begged someone to insult him, so he could get a word in edgewise. (Read more from “Carson: ‘The IRS Is Not Honest'” HERE)
By Jack Davis. In one of the latest strategies from a Republican establishment trying to find the right combination of factors to stop presidential candidate Donald Trump, subtle and public pressure is being applied to convince Ohio Gov. John Kasich to drop out of the race.
The concept is that with fewer candidates, Trump foes will outnumber his loyalists and Trump will not win the nomination
There’s one problem: Kasich isn’t going away.
“I’m going to stay in for a long time,” Kasich said. “I’m going all the way” . . .
Polls in the upcoming Super Tuesday voting show Kasich trailing. However, Kasich’s home state of Ohio votes March 15. If Kasich were to win the winner-take-all contest, he would amass 66 delegates.
“They thought we would have a nominee by some point in March. This is going to be a race that’s going to go much deeper into the calendar,” Kasich strategist John Weaver told reporters Saturday. “The Kasich brand of being uplifting and inclusive, of having a conservative reform agenda that can be enacted and can be positive is a growing force in national politics.

Kasich: ‘Nobody’s Gonna Win but Trump’ Next Week
By The Daily Beast. Shortly after Thursday night’s debate, Gov. John Kasich said that “Nobody’s gonna win but Trump” in the Republican presidential candidates’ battle on Super Tuesday. He qualified that estimate when asked about Ted Cruz’s chances in his home state of Texas—one of the 12 states voting in primaries next week.
