Why should Rubio get out now? Lobbying pays more than the presidency.

Rubio is disputing this. Cruz will be blamed by Trump for lying about it.

“Rubio is disputing this. Cruz will be blamed by Trump for lying about it. “

But Donald will be telling the truth.

Marco Rubio has just about run his course. If he doesn’t win Florida, he’s done. Oh, wait, Marco took Puerto Rico. How silly of me.

Sure thing. Hb-1, hate em, like em, hate em, like em.

Affirmative action - don't need to read Scalia’s dissent, he's wrong.

Progressive tax system, love it.

Universal health care - for it, somewhat for it, for it if we expand part D, no one dies in the street so for it.

Sister would be a great SC justice. Just kidding but she's great. I like Sykes, know nothing about her but I'm told she's great.

Yep - that's truth right in your face.
