Rubio was apparently in the cross hairs of the Fla. GOPee. Just goes to show how far left the Col. West hatin’ Fla. GOPee are.

RUBIO: I think that we have to deal with immigration. We have a broken enforcement system on immigration. We have a legal immigration system that's outdated and needs to be modernized so we can win the global competition for talent. We have millions of people living in this country illegally, many of whom have been here for a decade or longer. We need to find a reasonable but responsible way of incorporating them into American life. Last year we tried to do that through a one-size-fits-all comprehensive approach; it didn't work. We don't have the support for that. The only way we're going to be able to address it--and I believe we should--is through a sequence of bills that begins by proving to people that illegal immigration is under control, modernizing our legal immigration system and then dealing with those who are here illegally.

Would you prefer the NYT?

In a campaign stop here in Northern Nevada on Tuesday, Mr. Rubio insisted that Mr. Trumps claim implied that America wasnt great, when he said nothing could be further from the truth.
Theres one other candidate running, he says hes going to make America great again, Mr. Rubio told a crowd of about 200 people at a community center here. I understand what he means by that. I dont mean that as a slight.
I would remind everyone America is great, Mr. Rubio continued. Theres no nation on earth I would trade places with. Theres no other country I would rather be. The issue is not that were not great. The issue is whether we will remain great. The issue is, we can be even greater than we are now. We can be even more prosperous, more powerful.

Have you actually looked around at the America of the last 10 years Marco? Especially the last seven have sucked and the traitor in chief and his minions have been doing everything in their power to make America mediocre so as to not make the rest of the world feel bad about themselves. Go home Marco, just go home.

Not really. You just admitted that America is not as great as it once was.
Which everybody knows to be the case, including Donald Trump. Why else would he have a campaign slogan like “make America great AGAIN”?

I get that he wants to run a positive campaign...
But
Have you seen the labor participation rate?
Are you aware of the national debt?

America has been dragged far down by the liberals, statists and social engineers.
We aren’t in the basement yet but it isn’t far away.

Mush from Rubio that doesn’t mesh with what a clear majority of Americans feel and know—just to try to contradict Trump.
To: EternalVigilance
Thank God that He calls people that you (or I) often don't think fit the "moral mold" they should. Peter was a liar and an egotist. Paul authorized murder. Moses was a murderer. David an adulterer. And on and on. God deliberately chooses His vessels to confound the "rational" mind you or I might have.
Abraham Lincoln, a man of extremely limited national political experience, virtually no military experience (he joked about it),so unlikely to be his party's nominee that they didn't even have him in the program. Lincoln was not (in 1860) just a "lukewarm Christian," but he had as a younger man written a tract that raked Christianity over the coals.
Every time God raises someone up who doesn't conform to the "pious" people's expectation, He laughs. At some point, you'd think we'd learn.
