Marco Rubio’s embarrassing loss in Florida last night demonstrates once again that Republican voters are rejecting establishment candidates in favor of extreme outsiders like Donald Trump.
The same story is playing out in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. The once-favored Republican establishment politician Michael Roberson was recently yelled at by a rowdy debate audience for a record not deemed conservative enough. Roberson’s top opponent outsider Danny Tarkanian suggested Roberson might not be brave enough to debate again.
“Marco Rubio’s failure last night foreshadows the fate of establishment politician Michael Roberson,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC. “Just like Rubio, Nevada’s anti-insider mood means Roberson may well end up going from leader of the pack to electoral roadkill.”
