David Letterman: “Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, they’re all running for president… And now, the Republicans will have to decide which one of these men can lead the Republicans to another crushing defeat.” Republicans receive a bit of good-natured ribbing (or taunting) from Dave, who – like all of us, is predicting the outcome of the 2016 election. It can’t be helped if the indications lean toward Hillary. But to be fair, Dave looks at two of the contenders.
Letterman ran an interview between Sen. Rand Paul and Chuck Todd, who referred to a Washington Times article from 2012 which stated: “Maybe, just maybe, the Ron Paul Revolution is the last best hope for saving the GOP from Oblivion.” That is weighty stuff! Not a little responsibility rides on Rand Paul’s shoulders. Todd asked Paul:
“If you run a good campaign and you’re not the candidate, is the GOP headed for oblivion?” Just then, a bird swoops in, and spotting what appears to be a luxuriant nest – does what any self-respecting bird would do.
Dave observes, that is what you get for doing the show outside.” Experience counts.
Next, Letterman performs a public service. Frankly, the public is not very familiar with Marco Rubio…Largely because of Rubio’s confusing rhetoric. To shine some light on the dark horse, Letterman ran a new segment titled “Get to Know Marco Rubio,” and what a revelation it is! I thought the guy was a a loser, but the video is highly informative and entertaining. Rubio is a true Renaissance man. Others may only know him as “the name of a hide and seek game commonly played in the swimming pool.” Don’t pretend you haven’t thought of it.
Onward to Hillary, who doesn’t get a free pass..So stop right now, if you were going to pen a scathing critique of ‘biased Hollywood liberals.’ Speaking of Hillary’s recent announcement, Dave remarks: “This time she promises to be warm and approachable – like me.” Speaking of the now famous van trip, Dave remarked: “Hillary Clinton is traveling the country in a van, from New York all the way to Iowa. And she’s not driving the van. No, she’s sitting in the back telling Bill what to do. It’s like when he was president.”
In Dave’s Top Ten List, we get the inside scoop on that van trip.
