I don’t agree with that at all. Having dealt with his offices on a couple things, they are stalwart on several key conservative ideas. I don’t have any experience with him in the FL statehouse, but as a Senator, he’s been on the lead on many issues. I don’t doubt his ambition. He wouldn’t be running if it wasn’t through the roof.

I also challenge ‘any conservatives’ in Florida know who is dating back to the state house. In 2010, he captured the tea party ideals before the movement grew, and a lot of conservatives were all in. Many, including me, added a lot of distance after his immigration debacle in the Senate and for good reason. He sucks on that issue. He wasn’t good on the issue from day one, but his flim-flam sales job to conservatives was a disastrous effort. On that one item, he’s no better than Bush. On most conservative issues, he’s one of our best champions, whether it’s on the Senate floor, on TV or on the stump.

No problem, we can agree to disagree on him. If you check his FL record as a state legislator, you will see that he has alway supported illegals over citizens. The Gang of Eight was not an anomaly. As speaker he blocked over 30 bills to protect citizens vs. illegals.

I especially don’t like the fact that he thought the voters were stupid enough that he could say one thing on Spanish tv and another thing on English speaking tv.

Just as important....I have yet to see Rubio take a firm stand on anything (other than amnesty). Has he ever bucked McConnell and the current leadership? He is another status quo guy, who really does nothing but try to win the press conference.

Compare how he interacts with the rest of the GOP “leadership” with Cruz or Palin.

Likewise, he has alway been quick to endorse RINOs and get on board with the GOPe when they tell him to get in line. See the endorsement of McConnell, Romney.

I just think he is an empty suit that does whatever will benefit him the most.
