Trump Hammers Rubio: ‘Zero Credibility,’ ‘Outright Lies’ to Sell Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | July 4, 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 07/05/2015 11:00:46 AM PDT by conservative98

In addition, Trump’s adviser told Breitbart News that his boss can’t wait to expose Rubio’s weakness on immigration:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 80% has zero credibility on securing our border. Nothing has been more “divisive” than the outright lies Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 80% used to try and sell his amnesty for illegal immigrants to the American people. Hard working Americans cannot depend on Senator Rubio to protect their jobs. Senator Rubio’s “Gang of Eight” bill, which was such an epic failure it never even came up for a vote in the House, would have given President Obama the immediate power to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

Trump’s team seems ready to hone in on Rubio’s biggest weakness: That he worked with senior Democrats like Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and the now-indicted Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to put forward an amnesty bill last Congress. Rubio eventually backed away from his own bill after he tanked in the polls.

“Rubio flip flopped on the bill for political expediency with the explanation that he could not expect President Obama to enforce it. Why would Rubio have given Obama this authority in the first place?” Trump’s adviser said.

Just this past weekend in New Hampshire, Rubio used several of the same talking points he used to sell the Gang of Eight bill to push a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. When asked if he supports a pathway to citizenship for those who broke America’s immigration laws, Rubio said: “I do.”

No wonder Rubio ran to Romney for help.

Trump just helped finish him off.

Trump isn’t one of my choices, but if he makes a RINO weasel like Rubio squirm, then good on him!

Attack Trump at one’s peril. He is liable to come out and say true things about you. Can’t wait till he calls Hucksbee a fem-sounding sissy. That will be the highlight of the cycle.

I love what Trump said the other day, illegals are a “national security issue” BINGO!! Finally someone states what our border situation is really all about instead of it being twisted and warped by the usual liberals and RINOs. It absolutely is a national security issue and these pukes have been trying to make it something that it is not. It has NOTHING to do with “immigration” or “workers”, it IS a THREAT against national security and it has to be STOPPED!! END OF STORY.

Ricky Ricardo is not ready for prime time. Best he remain a Senator and take a few more lessons on what makes a true conservative. Sorry Mark Levin— your pet boy is too flim flam for the job.

I see Trump as the shock troops for the Cruz campaign. While I don’t take the guy seriously, and fully expect him to flame out eventually, he is doing a great job softening the resistance. In his position as gadfly, he can say things others can’t.

Trump is doing a fine job of smoking out the Rino’s and displaying them for who they really are, Quisling Bastards.
But if anyone here truly believes the Southern Border will EVER be Sealed and Secure, you are just plain crazy. The War on Drugs is far too important and lucrative for our government, it will never be won by securing the border where over 85% of ALL DRUGS come into the USA.

We need the War on Drugs more than you will ever believe or know. The Border will Remain OPEN, no matter what anyone tells you.

He is also taking the heat the MSM would be directing at Cruz.

As all the Republicans attack Trump simultaneously, they all know that, eventually, it will be their turn to experience the Wrath of Trump.

Of course, it's Rubio's job to stay in the race until at least Florida, so you can expect him to be one of the most reviled men in America by the time we get there.

I don't know if Trump will expend much energy on Perry as nobody cares what he has to say except leftist media trying to run cover for the commie race baiters in the Democrat party.

I predict Chris Christie will come out, guns a blazing, starting tomorrow or Tuesday.

His job is to be tough and keep pounding Trump.

And, he'll be the next casualty of the GOPe.

The more Rubio talks, the worse he looks. I’m not saying a would vote for Trump (not good on social issues) but I respect how he stands up to ridiculous pressure.

Trump nailed it on Rubio. When Rubio announced, he said he had learned his lesson on amnesty. Now he is telling New Hampshire voters that he supports amnesty. He hasn’t changed his position. he just lies about it depending on the crowd.

I’m just surprised Jeb was not at the Mitt mansion with Rubio and Christie plotting on how to punch back at Trump. Three losers who the sooner gone the better.

I saw Trump’s interview with Howard Kurtz this morning and IMO Trump acquitted himself very well. He was toned down and very serious. He is a very credible candidate. All this talk about Trump is a clown and Trump is a Liberal in the news and on FR is just a lot of crap.

"I see Trump as the shock troops for the Cruz campaign. "

I believe Trump is in it to win it.

If Cruz and Trump are the only two left standing in Aug, 2016...Cruz would do well to accept VP nomination.

But, if the GOP takes Trump out before that, or if he goes crazy as he is want to do, then the GOP will take out Cruz.
