Rubio’s senior staff, particularly in Washington, is a bunch of establishment Republican insiders, with long-established ties to radical Hispanic organizations, not the boat-rocking Tea Partiers that provided the manpower for Rubio’s upstart campaign against Governor Charlie Crist.

Looks like he's not dancing with the ones that brung him.

Forget Reid and Schumer. How could any sensible conservative be sucked in by Juan McCain and Linseed Graham? When these two approached him, he should have fled as from Satan himself.

The co-option process begins when a newly elected member of Congress arrives in Washington. The party leaders are more than happy to provide her/him with the experienced staff members she/he will need to navigate the legislative process. Those who accept are like flies on flypaper.

...we've learned.

And I didn't even have time for a smoke afterwards.

Rubio you have about one more good chance.

Do not blow it.

Walk away from your immigration mess. Quit the “gang of eight’.

I’m series. You have turned on your BASE.

You have about one more good chance left. Your only chance lies, in quitting your establishment coddling of the leftwing which you are currently doing.

Completely.

I do not mean pull back. Walk away from it. Now.

America is under attack, from the right and the left.

The right wants to make stuff overseas - unfortunately that means selling out all America’s business to China, which does not hold anything back.

And has 4 or 5 times our population.

The left meanwhile wants to sell America out to immigrants and the latino culture.

If you want to support that, then do it. But you will not be conservative and will not be supported by conservatives.

America currently has the single most welcoming immigration on Earth.

Quit trying to make our immigration even more welcoming.

Rubio if you want to do what is right, then do this:

PROTECT AND DEFEND AMERICA.

Simple.

"Today, he isn’t even in the top ten"

In a few more years he won't even be a senator.

Marco quit dancing with the ones who brung him 2 weeks after the election. I remember one of his first interviews where he said he didn’t know if he was really a tea partier. I knew then that he was already distancing himself from conservatives. I hope Fl has the sense not to re-elect him to the Senate.

No, he doesn’t deserve one more chance. That was not a mere “mistake” or a minor error. He knew damned well what he was doing, and who he was working with. And he did it. And he lied about it, repeatedly.

He has proven that he CANNOT BE TRUSTED. HE HAS NO PRINCIPLES. He will say one thing in the campaign, and do the opposite once he has been elected. No way that he trusted not to do the same kind of thing again. Maybe next time it will be killing babies, or gay marriage, or who knows what?

You forgot the '/sarc' tag.

Stopped reading as soon as I hit the word "series", as it was obvious the rest would be only more tongue-in-cheek blatherings.

Absolutely agree! Besides that if he’s not smart enough to decide his own positions on issues and instead does what his staff decides then we don’t want him as President anyway!

That is nothing more than a FReeperism.

Try again.

Florida’s Republican Senator Marco Rubio has experienced one of the most precipitous falls from grace we can recall in our over 50-years of involvement in conservative politics at the national level.

Rush likes to remind his audience that the media didn't make him, so they can't break him. It's his audience that is responsible for Rush's success.

Rubio, on the other hand, is a creation, in many ways the same as obama is a creation.

With the GOPe's influence paving the way, Marco Rubio was injected into the national dialog with their pre-casting him in the role of young gun "GOP Conservative", including talk radio personalities' cred backing up that manufactured perception from the beginning.

Actions usually determine whether perception is fact or fiction.

Rubio's actions reveal his truth and the GOPe's truth. May his fall from grace continue until his character finally lands on something that can support his weight.

Marco remember, When Republicans start acting like Democrats they have to depend on Democrats to win their next election. Your base will stay home.

You would think that Ryan and all the other idiots in the house would learn from Rubio’s mistake.

I was supporting a candidate in OR who suddenly had a Hispanic from SEIU on his staff.
We asked him why and never got a believable response.
He cratered during the debates from poor prep.

It made you think afterwards....
