Rubio is the fallback amnesty candidate.
Jebster is flaming out.
Nobody wants him to be President.

The Ministry of Propaganda, which includes Fox News, wants you to vote for amnesty, which is in my opinion, national suicide.

I rather think Walker may be the fallback Chamber of Commerce candidate.

I sure agree with you on that. What has happened is our culture and laws have been tgrashed beyond recognition by socialists.
Rubio made a mistake and he knows it. I thought he had relented of his sin but then he got on Mexican TV and babbled pro amnesty in espanie. But I like the kid personally and beginning to think he will be a great vice president.

My comment is that I don’t give a flip about what ANY of the pundits say. They (pundits) don’t hold a primary...so this is a nothing burger.

When Rubio schemed with Schumer against the citizens he burned his bridges as far as I am concerned. He knew what he was doing, he’s been an amnesty guy since he was in the FL legislature. He has been very good at deceiving people.
I will not vote for any ticket that he is on.

Initially I was thinking that, too. But he has now taken a position to the right of Cruz that will be hard to weasel out of if he’s elected. Plus, unless he has a backroom agreeement we don’t know about, The Cheap Labor Express is not going to fund him. It is possible that his new position is flim-flam to bamboozle the voters, but he’s talking like Jeff Sessions, the man I trust the most on this issue. I don’t trust Walker, yet.

Krauthammer is wrong about Cruz and he knows he’s wrong. He is still willing to try to influence the perception of Cruz in a negative way. Cruz has done far more legislatively than Rubio. Cruz will prevail because people see that he is of substance and is not all talk.

The pundit class is promoting Rubio to provide a quasi-conservative alternative to their man Jeb, just in case the conservative opposition to the Bushes catches fire in spite of all their money. They cannot afford to let the process run uncontrolled.

Stop this nonsense about Rubio being the only amnesty candidate.

Walker, Cruz, Paul, Huckabee, Bush, Christy, Santorum, Fiorina, Trump, Perry, Pence, King, and whoever else is making noise for running in 2016.....they all will NOT enforce immigration laws which require deportation of ALL law breaking illegal immigrants. When majority of illegals are allowed to stay in the country, who will say it is not amnesty with a straight face? Wink wink..they are all for amnesty AFAIAC.

The only candidate I am aware of who would have deported ALL illegals is Tom Tancredo.

Sessions is my Senator and he has been consistent on this issue for years. I am disappointed that it took a run-up to the presidential election for Walker to get it right.

Well I am torn. You are right. I may be wrong. His Schumer relationship was unforgivable. . Its too bad because he had a bright future but he is too naive.

I suspect once we get to the debates, Cruz mops up. Not because he is a debater, but because philosophically he is internally consistent.

You’re right about Paul, Huckabee, Bush, Christie, Rubio, Santorum, Fiorina, Perry, they have all told us they would not enforce the laws.

Not sure which King you’re talking about, must not be Steve King, because you’d be wrong so it must be Peter King who is an amnesty guy.

Walker and Cruz have stated they will oppose amnesty. Walker has additionally said illegals need to go home and apply like everybody else.

I'm with you. Cruz or lose!

As for me and my house, we will and do support Cruz with dollars and time.

I've never sent money like that for a politician before, but Cruz rates it.

Yes, first debate is barely 3 months away on Fox News. Cruz will be runaway favorite after first debate, and will out-poll all others by a dozen points.
