Well said, but Im not as hard on Rubio as many here. The huckster will never be pres and Carson seems to be a nice guy but no way presidential. I totally agree if they cared for their country they would get behind Cruz...or Walker. IMHO.
Paul will never be pres NEVER but will stay in to hurt Cruz and Rubio. Graham is a HUGE problem for Walker/Cruz/Rubio because of the votes he will siphon off in SC.
Right now its just a guessing game and a lot can happen in the next few months.
Look at the GOPe darling Christie LOL
I liked Rubio so much several yeas ago. The gang of eight thing of course hurt him bad.
My fear is, he is willing to do a little too much to be president, like give up a republican Senate seat (for whatever Republicans are worth these days :(, and not sure about his amnesty position.
That being said, I cannot say yet that I wouldn't pull the lever for him on election day, if it came to that. He's messed up, but he is a small step, right now, above those others. He has much to do to win trust again. But crazier things have happened.
I am extremely hard on Rubio to the point that even in a GE, I would abstain for the first time ever. As I’ve posted before, at the 2010 FL 4th kickoff event in Lake City, he lied when asked specifically about immigration. He said secure the border before anything else happens and when it does, no amnesty of any kind.
The as soon as he gets to DC, he chums it up with a piece of legislation, with his name as the author, with McCain, Graham, Schumer, Durbin and whoever the other losers were as the Gang of 8. Did anyone ever notice that McCain is always part of a gang? Gang of 14 reference.
“Well said, but Im not as hard on Rubio as many here.”
Perhaps if Rubio led the charge to increase funding for the School Lunch Program a lot of us would consider forgiving him now. But Amnesty, like gun control, is a LITMUS TEST issue, and Rubio failed it BIG TIME:
1) He said he was against it as a candidate
2) He immediately supported it once in office
3) He LED THE CHARGE for it and nearly got it into law
4) He gave dozens of Republicans political cover on the issue
It will be a LONG TIME before he recovers from the above...his best bet is to lay low and be a good conservative, which he has been on just about every other issue. And then, maybe in 12 years, look again at running for office. I would certainly consider him then.
