Why is Marco Rubio sliding in the polls?
Washington Examiner ^ | August 4, 2015 | Byron York

The verdict was clear when Marco Rubio announced his presidential run with a well-received speech in Miami last April: There was a new member of the top tier in the Republican race. "The official 2016 GOP field gets its first real contender," wrote fivethirtyeight. "Marco Rubio is now a first-tier candidate," said Bloomberg's Mark Halperin. Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson placed Rubio, along with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, in "the first tier of plausibility."

It got even better from there. In June, the Washington Post declared, "Marco Rubio is now at the top of the Republican presidential field."

You need to scroll to the bottom to get to the real reason Rubio is crashing and burning. He is the False Bush. Why support a pretender when you can get the real thing.

I don’t really need to do that. He’s an amnesty troll.

Are there really enough retarded “republicans” out there supporting Jebbie to keep him this high in the polls? I can’t believe this idiot is getting more than 2%.

He jumped the political shark when he joined forces with McLaim on immigration... Either he showed a great lack of wisdom or worse showed himself to be a liberal in conservative clothing, with big ears I might ad.

He’s a sneak and a liar. He thinks he can say one thing in english, and the opposite in Spanish. He joined with the despicable schumer — and we conservatives aren’t too dumb to notice.

I would love for Rubio to take a shot at Trump. I have no respect for Rubio the Boobio, he says his support for Amnesty has changed, at least Jeb tell the same story as bad as it is. Rubio wants us to think he has Trumps position. Rubio said “ I am still in favor of Amnesty I realize I don’t have the votes, and I won’t bring it up until we do.

Rubio is a deceiver. Trump, Cruz, even Jeb say what they mean if you don’t like it don’t vote for them. I don’t like Guys like McConnell, Boner who promise and lie to the base.

Because in a poll for being wishy washy he would even lead Charlie Brown. So would about 80% of the other GOP candidates running for POTUS with him.

Observe just who it is that was extolling him at the beginning.

Liars are prone to telling falsehoods.
Liers are just prone.
