Six paragraphs in, I have no idea what the writer is talking about.

Jeez.

Marco Rubio has always impressed me of being too good to be true. He should not be POTUS.

Watch out, Rubio, The don is coming after you.

With a lot more substance than his attacks on Cruz.

Thank you. I thought it was just me. You should send your post to the author, it is richly deserved.

It did not take long for the luster to wear off of Rubio, for me anyway. He immediately came across as someone who could not be trusted.

Where is the bombshell story about Ted Cruz that Breitbart is allegedly sitting on?
Or was it just clickbait- like the Blaze?

“Donald Trump’s Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, is telling...”

Nothing after that should be believed.

Ditto.

It actually takes a lot of smarts to write that incoherently. I was blaming myself for being dense..

Rubio will not be elected.

"The Gang of Eight" disqualified him, and, in addition, he represents the Republican Establishment who gave us Boehner, McConnell, RINO Ryan, and the rest of the Double-Crossers.

But even if he were not a RINO, he's not up to the job. In times as dangerous and crucial as these, we need a man of the stature of Donald Trump. We need intelligence, aggressiveness, decisiveness. We need a Fighter. We need someone with clarity, who understands strategy. We need someone who can--AND WILL--defeat America's enemies abroad and--of even greater importance--her domestic enemies.

We need someone who understands the Decadence of Western Civilization, who is himself ascendant, who will reverse it, and who will restore America to ascendancy.

We don't need a milquetoast like Rubio.

We need Trump. And we're gonna get him!

Good to see I'm not the only one.

Seems pretty clear to me. Rubio and Schumer held a meeting where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane was present and tried to ask a question and was rebuffed and eventually removed from the meeting. Rubio allowed it to happen despite the fact that he had met with Crane before after numerous attempts by Crane to meet with him. Rubio knew what Crane's views were and did not want to hear them at an open meeting.

Chris Crane is the head of the ICE Union and has been an outspoken critic of the Obama administration's for tying the hands of ICE officers in enforcing the law.

ICE Union employees: ICE Director won't let us enforce U.S. immigration laws

On June 11, 2010, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council and its constituent local representatives from around the nation, acting on behalf of approximately 7,000 ICE officers and employees from the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), cast a unanimous "Vote of No Confidence" in the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, and the Assistant Director of the ICE Office of Detention Policy and Planning, (ODPP), Phyllis Coven.

While ICE reports internally that more than 90 percent of ICE detainees are first encountered in jails after they are arrested by local police for criminal charges, ICE senior leadership misrepresents this information publicly in order to portray ICE detainees as being non-criminal in nature to support the Administration’s position on amnesty and relaxed security at ICE detention facilities.

The majority of ICE ERO Officers are prohibited from making street arrests or enforcing United States immigration laws outside of the institutional (jail) setting. This has effectively created “amnesty through policy” for anyone illegally in the United States who has not been arrested by another agency for a criminal violation.

The fact that Rubio tacitly allowed Schumer to oust Crane and even to call on him, shows that Rubio wanted to stifle all debate on the Gang of 8 bill. He didn't want any facts that could stand in the way of passing the bill, which was passed by the Senate 68-32 with 14 Reps including Rubio voting for it.

As someone who has worked 36 years for the federal government, it is almost unheard of for a group like the ICE agent union to unanimously issue a vote of no confidence against a sitting federal official, i/e. their boss.

I remember hearing this too- It wasn't just Rubio stabbing voters in the back by voting for Amnesty a very short time after he was elected-He was also totally obnoxious about it- Zero regard for the promises he made.

And what about tabloid stories of mistress who is a lobbiest? How many favors did she get?

Stephen Miller is a former Sessions staffer who just recently moved over to the Trump campaign staff. Miller helped write the Trump and Cruz immigration position papers while working as a member of Sessions' staff.

I believe him completely. As someone who works for a grassroots immigration group that lobbies on the Hill, I am intimately familiar with the dirty tactics used by the Gang of 8 bill to stifle dissent.

Are you a Rubio supporter?

Why elect somebody as inexperienced as Marco Rubio? We cannot afford to have this amateur be in charge of our nation.

I would like to know more about Rubio's donors and staff. I know FOX is involved.

Anyone who would work for Trump’s campaign is a liar. No, I don’t support Rubio at all.

I think he was offered money and power and immediately caved.

That would seem to hold for most of the Tea Party candidates that went to Washington. They discover immediately that if they go along with the gopes they will be wealthy for life whether or not they ever win another election but if they retain their asserted principles they will be limited to their salaries and whatever they can make on their own initiatives with investment and such. In the campaigns their constituents are the voters in their districts. Once they get to DC their constituents are the lobbyists. The voters have no more influence on them.
