Yeh I’ll bet he’s trying to bail out. Good luck Marco. You have screwed the pooch for president. You will be lucky to win another term as senator. Paging Allen West.

So rubio is figurative in advancing this anti-American BS and now wants an exit? Why don’t we deport him....an apt “exit”? What a feckless poltroon...intellectual and moral integrity he lacks.

RE :”I don’t agree with the bill, not even the framework, but I wish people would not trash Rubio.”

Chris Hayes started out tonight on the subject saying Rubio is jumping ship on ‘his own immigration bill’, his emphasis.

Personally I am taking issue with Rubio’s actions and especially words on this bill. He's been playing Kerby salesman making wild claims about it but maybe now realizes its not selling, or maybe that was his plan all along, to tease and bail.

The one single thing he says he objects to is border enforcement stuff but if you think about it any bill they pass will depend on an POTUS appointee loyalist to enforce it, which would be an Obama Holder type guy. So what's his point? To tease and say that immigration reform will only work if he is POTUS?

The way I figure it is that Bush/McCain started an ‘immigration reform’ fire in 2006 to 2007 and it tore the GOP apart in civil war and alienated Hispanics and helped accelerate the disaster, because it was a disaster, so 8 years later Rubio joins Schumer and Durbin in trying the same thing....expecting..

So the angry not very thoughtful ‘comments’ about him don’t surprise me.

So lets say his whole game plan is to tease and bolt on this,
then I guess the ONLY aspect he is critical of is border enforcement because that is completely independent of the actual illegals themselves,
so the illegals themselves are OK, its Obama’s enforcement that is at fault here.

How else to explain his talking points?

I don’t know. He wasn’t good on it when he was in the statehouse, either. Part is his heritage. Part is his history as a Jeb protege. He can still get beyond this if he makes some good decisions and backs out. If he keeps trying to sell this garbage, he’s going to be done polically.

He hasn't just stepped on 'it', he ran in place all over 'it', in track shoes, no less...

“... I wish people would not trash Rubio.”
*******************************************************************

Rubio KNOWINGLY flew directly onto the flypaper and reveled in his position. NOW he’s trying to escape? Good luck with that.

Marco Rubio is not being trashed here — he is simply recognized now for what he is and for his complete lack of integrity. He’s going to have great difficulty successfully putting his “conservative mask” back on now.

Rubio ‘Trying to Get Out of the Gang of Eight’ LOL

Reagan eventually admitted that the 1986 amnesty was a mistake. Will Rubio ever admit he is wrong? It’s not just that there are a few problems here; the whole idea is a scam.

I been studying rubio’s sales pitches and he makes only two main points over and over:

1) That this bill will bring them out of shadows and get them paying taxes and keep them of public dole, heck, so we need this to cut the deficit and to pay our SS and medicare while they cut our lawns too (we know this is a lie now)

2)That Once conservatives believe we have a bill that WILL secure the border then they will support it NO MATTER what else is in the bill (even if #1 is a lie AND the illegals get to vote)

What are we going to do with crap like this?

Good observation. Mine as well.

This clown has the same 2 lies he spews over and over. Run the reprobate out of town!

Why not? He deserves it. He knew what he was getting into, and defended the result until the feedback was too strong to ignore.

There are still a bunch of FReepers who back this guy, thanks to Rush and Levin. I suppose they never bothered to get Jim Rob’s opinion of Rubio : )

Rubio’s ‘plan’ is rubbish.

If the GOP’s designated latino front man was serious about the illegal alien problem he would demand that they be deported, like Eisenhower did during his Presidency.

Deportation is the law, after all.

Not that a girly man like Rubio has the cojones to enforce the law; no, he wants to apologize to the illegals for scaring them, change the law, and invite them to stay in the United States for as long as they like.

To hell with the Treason Lobby.

” This immigration bill is checkmate for our Republic. Rubio clearly knows the result of passing this bill.

Rubio is an absolute fraud. Never again should Rubio have the support of any Conservative.

Rubio is NOT a Conservative. You cannot be a Conservative and even entertain the thought of supporting such a destructive bill.

Who cares is smooth talking Rubio can “sound” Conservative on other issues. He is a liar.

There are millions of other citizens who would never make the mistake that Rubio made.

None of these slimy politicians should be given a second chance.

We are too close to losing our Republic to allow ourselves to rationalize some way to excuse the Fraud known as Rubio. “

BEST JOB ON THIS SUBJECT YET.
