At least half the Republicans are socialists too, so what is the difference?

At least Bernie is honest about what he is about.

AmnestyMarco’s problem is his pro-amnesty stand when speaking to Hispanics and his ‘I saw the light and am a reformed conservative — honest’ stand when speaking to non-Hispanics.

AmnestyMarco speaks with twisted tongue.

It is a matter of trust. If elected, would he be the AmnestyMarco or the ‘I saw the light’ Marco?

Odds are 100 to 1 that it would be AmnestyMarco.

He still has that stench from stepping in the Gang of 8.

“I want to support Marco Rubio, but today I can’t.”

I can’t today, tomorrow, or any day in the future! He’s a smarmy hispanic apologist. A more charming Luis Gutierrez. He and ¿YEB? can go run as a slate in Mexico.

He could try sticking his head in the toilet and giving himself a good soak...
...Na, probably wouldn’t help.

Crack down on illegal immigration. Except absolutely no one BELIEVES he would do it even if promised. So he’s toast.

How easily he was manipulated by the Gang of 8 is a prime example of how easily he would likely be manipulated as president.

Shumer and McCain didn’t even work up a sweat to make Rubio the face of their latest comprehensive immigration attempt.

Consider this quote:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor (read this as none other than Marco Rubio<\i>) moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he (Marco Rubio) speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he (Marco Rubio) wears their face and their arguments, he (Marco Rubio) appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He (Marco Rubio) rots the soul of a nation, he (Marco Rubio) works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he (Marco Rubio) infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor (Marco Rubio) is the plague.”

These incredibly prescient words were said by Marcus Tullius Cicero, the ancient Roman statesman … who lived from 106 B.C. to 43 B.C. Apparently some things never change.

Too late. Not happening. Rubio is dead to me as a political candidate.

LMAO!

Good one!

Maybe Marky should pick Ryan as his running mate too.

Senior Amnesty has a scarlet A burned on his forehead. He will NEVER be allowed back.

Say this: “I wanted to try and find a compromise to solve the illegal immigration problem. I was too trusting of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats – a mistake I won’t make again – and I let myself become a salesman for what was essentially amnesty. I was wrong.”

Nope. Rubio lied to get into office and immediately betrayed his voters. If he "evolves" on immigration again during this campaign, I'm not stupid enough to believe him. Rubio is dead to me. I will not under any circumstances vote for him. If Hillary wins, what's left of America after Obama will die quickly. If Rubio wins, what's left of America will die too, and only a little slower. Only someone who has opposed Amnesty, opposed gun grabbing, and opposed Obamacare since before this campaign cycle is even an option.

I will never support allowing any illegal alien who didn’t honorably serve in our military to become a U.S. citizen unless he goes home and reapplies to immigrate the right way – by respecting our laws

Illegal aliens are not allowed to serve in the US military. Does the author know this?

I do agree with Schlicter that I want to like Marco Rubio. He’s glib, articulate and well in command of facts, but like you, I can’t get past the fact that he allied with not only Schumer, but also McCain, Flake, Graham, Durbin, Menendez and Bennet - none of whom I’d ever accuse of being the least bit conservative. Together, they paved the way for Obama’s “executive amnesty”. Furthermore, his comments about the Russian incursion into Syria make him sound like the personification of NEOCON and all it entails. In my mind, Russia is backing an ally in Syria and filling a power vacuum that we used to occupy - for good or bad. I’m sure Israel and other [former?] allies in the Middle East wish we’d take a similar stand on their behalf.

It is illegal for illegals to join the military, but at least 80 ‘dreamers’, who are illegal aliens have joined. Even though, Congress sets the rules and regulations of the military.

Not me. He turned on his voters right after he took the oath.

Donald Trump is slowly but surely destroying Rubio just like he did Bush.

He points out Rubio has the worst attendance record, he sweats all the time and other things. That deal last week where trump sent him his own brand of Bottled Spring Water and the Towels was funny as all get out.

No Rubia cannot and will not get any traction, if he had any he would be doing better in his won state. Rubio woould do well to try and win re-election as a Senator, unless the guy who drank Goat Blood beats him.
