Rubio isn't all that popular with the rest of us either. Another sellout.

Here's one... hispanics will rally aound white Uncle Teddy's mouldering corpse before they'll be impressed enough by a republican of any shade to go GOP.
Besides the fact Rubio smells like a phony to anyone with a nose.

I was done with Rubio when he gave Obama cover for his illegal war in Libya.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
...and 40% didnt know him. Hmmm... I wonder why?
Maybe the lame-stream media are afraid he might become popular with Hispanics, if they were to get to know him, so they report as little as possible about/on Rubio. Can't take a chance on anyone leaving the Plantation, you know!!

Barry and the ‘RATS have separated the people living in this country into their different tribes. Rubio is a Cuban not a Mexican. Mexicans won’t vote for him. JMO.

"Hispanic" is a liberal concoction that attempts to lump all the Western Hemisphere's descendants of Spaniards together. Most liberals [and the GOPe] would probably even try to include the Brazilians in that heap.
But Mexicans, for example, don't feel any more solidarity with Cubans than most Americans do with white South Africans. They sort of speak the same language, but that's about it.
Throw in Rubio's alleged conservatism and it's a lost cause altogether. The guy will sink or swim on his merits. Liberal "Hispanics" will not be swayed by his ability to throw out campaign slogans in Cuban-accented Spanish.

GOP have no clue what Hispanics stand for
A lily white Cuban does not play well with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Central Americans, etc...
Even if Rubio comes with Amnesty, money, government checks, unicorns.... it does not change the fact he looks more gringo than your average white guy

- ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]
- One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

How did it come to pass that every person bearing a surname of Spanish origins is assumed to share the same
portfolio of socio-political beliefs and attitudes?
The mother of George Zimmerman (self-defender against Treyvon Martin’s assault) is of South American native (Indian?) origins but has a Spanish family name, as do many Spouth and Central Americans with not a drop of Spanish blood or cultural ancestry.
Yet for some arcane reason George is labelled “Hispanic,” and is lumped together (but not by his own personal choice) with people having ancestral roots in Cuba, Haiti, Guatemala, Mexico, etc, etc,etc,; all presumed to share like political beliefs and sympathies.
WHY?

I have heard enough from Marco Rubio.
I can’t wait to vote for his opponent.

It doesn’t matter what the GOP does. Large swaths of the US population will vote for a pile of cow manure just because it is a @#$!’n Democrat.

Now accepting wagers.....
How long before Rubio attacks Conservatives, then becomes a Democrat?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Because he’s a white Cuban, and brown Mexicans and Central Americans don’t see him as one of their own any more than Mitt Romney is.
<p.
It’s about much more than a common language.
