I ask because I stopped paying attention to him after his immigration debacle.
Rino? Absolutely, but Liar ranks even higher on my hit list of Establishment whores.
Rubio wears a bulls eye.
RINO enough, beyond his anti-Common Core stance. But tolerable, I guess, if he ends-up being our nominee. Seems to me, he's a featherweight. That's not good.

I see Jeb's backers are moving to Rubio. The upside is, all the money in the world won't get the kid elected.
The downside? There is none, they're abandoning Bush. :lol:
I see Rubio as timid, almost wuss like in his demeanor, he is not the type of guy who is gonna get up in someones face during a debate, to undo the considerable harm to this nation over the past six years is gonna take a fight, and Rbio doesn't srtike me as a fighter.

Billy, you have hit the nail on the head. That is exactly the problem with Rubio!

"Not only did Senator Marco Rubio break his solemn pledge to our organization and Florida Tea Party leaders that he would oppose amnesty and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants when he ran for Senate, but he abandoned his promise to make sure the border is secure before considering what to do with illegal immigrants already here," said Floridians for Immigration Enforcement Legislative Director Jack Oliver.

And this from Florida politics
WHERE THEY STAND: MARCO RUBIO ON KEY ISSUES OF 2016 CAMPAIGN
Rubio, whose parents emigrated from Cuba, was a co-author of a bipartisan immigration overhaul that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Rubio backed off the issue, though, after the measure came under fire from conservatives, saying it could not win enough support in Congress.
Rubio now says that border security must be improved first, followed by revamping the process now used to allow people to immigrate. Rubio has been sharply critical of the Barack Obama administration's executive actions on immigration, saying that the president has exceeded his constitutional power.

I think that's why the GOP likes him. They know they can use him, under the guise of a conservative. Rubio is a GOP plant, and we're not falling for it.

I agree. The Rubio clemency was the last straw!
I wrote them an email expressing my disgust and anger. I also told them they should recognize the reality that they are no longer a force within the movement. They have been totally ineffective. We have outgrown our training wheels. They were merely a foundational organization and the building is now built and occupied. We have matured as a movement. It is time for them to fold their tent and go home where they might be useful.
I did this because I just received an email this morning from Jenny Beth saying they had not heard from me in quite a while.....
...... I thought they deserved to know why!

Wow, nothing like ignoring the elephant in the room.
He knows quite well the problem is the Marxist and their ability for creating victims.
Rubio, by making this statement, does one of two things. Either exposes his youthful ignorance, or his blatant pandering for votes. Which is Marco?

I just find it a fascinating display of arrogance on the part of the Establishment, to assume we're as stupid and gullible as libs are to the Dim party's tactics.

I'm very confident that he'll literally fade-away. We'll not hear about him in a meaningful, news-breaking way until the debates. Even then, I doubt he'll prominent in many
headlines. Why? Because the person that
Rubio's creators thought they were offering at the time (2010-2011)
already existed... in Susana Martinez; Governor of New Mexico. Rubio can't be form-fitted to champion Mexican-American causes. His only 'go-to' abilities (for pertinent comments on breaking news) are in the Cuban-American sphere.

I agree, and despite the rino attempts to keep him alive via leftist media help, he and Bush won't even place in the end.
