RUSH LIMBAUGH: Rubio Is Not an Establishment Moderate

Trump supporters just cannot stomach any compliments paid to any candidates other than the donald.

Absolutely correct. Limbaugh under the bus now because he correctly pointed out that Rubio is actually fairly conservative on all but a handful of issues.

I am sure Trumpsters were perfectly happy with Rush when he has defended Trump for quite some time.

I think the nonsensical birther slop Trump tried to tar Cruz with has backfired. Seems like a lot of the radio folks are taking a second look at Trump and not liking what they see.

Rubio used to be. In fact, he was a conservative hero, the next coming of Reagan. Did he change? I don't know but I'll wager that you give Cruz the same amount of time in the Senate and posters here will be dumping all over him, too. It's inevitable.

Problem is, Conservatives are always inventing heroes because conservatives, in general, are easily dazzled by talking points and a few core issues. Just because someone is a "minority" and claims to be a conservative doesn't mean they're really any good. Carson, Cruz et al. are preferred by the GOP because they will give us TPP. That's trillions of dollars of money on the line, and their donors and the GOPe want it, they want it bad, as well as the cheap labor provided by a dysfunctional border.

Rubio was born on US soil but not of citizen parents. I know that doesn't seem to matter any more.

Just sayin

Agree on all points.

The whole debate by FOX is for them to attack each other while paving the way for their guy Rubio.

I stopped watching FOX some time ago and conservatives should send a message to FOX and their guy Rubio we have had enough of your crap , we are not all stupid.

Rush jumped the shark officially today.

“Rush Limbaugh remarked that three of the top four finishers in Mondayâ€™s Iowa caucuses were Reagan disciples, to which he included Sen. Ted Cruz, Rubio and Carson. The oxyMoron, $500 dollar cigar puffing piggie, left out Trump.
Screw Rush.

Last time I checked, the GOP Establishment candidate was spending tens of millions of dollars attacking Rubio -and getting nowhere for it.

Amen to that.

I agree with Rush. Rubio was wrong on the Gang of 8, but on just about every other issue heâ€™s solid.

He was a new guy who thought he could actually work with the democrats. He was so inexperienced (but a potential threat down the road) , the democrats took him out early - before he wised up. They knew no conservative would forgive him for what he did. It would harm him for the rest of his career.

Candidate Marco Rubio Tells Jorge Ramos, in Spanish, That Obama’s Unilateral Amnesty Is A Good Thing and Should Be Part of Permanent Amnesty Solution…

Posted on February 2, 2016 by sundance

Originally Written in April 2015 – Re posted exactly as previous outlined:

Until substantive and factual information reveals something divergent I’m sticking to my initial researched opinion that Marco Rubio’s campaign bid is purely a decepticon maneuver to plow through the field, and aid his mentor Jeb Bush.
(Via Allan Wall) Republican candidate Marco Rubio, in a chat with Jorge Ramos, in Spanish, made it clear that, on this issue, any differences between a President Rubio and President Obama would be insubstantial.
Matthew Boyle of Breitbart (a valuable source on immigration issues) has written up a report on the interview:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said he believes that President Barack Obama’s first executive amnesty for so-called DREAMers—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)—is “important” and he won’t reverse it himself if elected president. He delivered these remarks in a Spanish-language interview he gave to Univision’s Jorge Ramos.

So here is Rubio, speaking in Spanish to Jorge Ramos, a principal proponent of the Hispanicization of the U.S., telling him this.

“I believe DACA is important. It can’t be terminated from one moment to the next, because there are already people benefiting from it,” Rubio said in Spanish on Ramos’s television program, according to an English translation provided by the media service Grabien. “But yes, it is going to have to end. It can’t be the permanent policy of the United States, and I don’t think that’s what they’re asking either. I think everyone prefers immigration reform.”
Ramos followed up, according to the translation, by asking: “But then, to clarify, you would put an end to DACA once immigration reform is approved, but what would happen, Senator, if there is no immigration reform; would you cancel DACA anyway?”
Rubio answered that DACA will end only when a legislative substitute with the exact same or similar policy prescriptions—a legislative amnesty for illegal alien minors—is implemented. He also said in Spanish that, if elected president, he believes that America cannot deport illegal aliens here in the country right now, and he expects a legislative solution will be implemented that essentially has all the parts of the massively controversial “Gang of Eight” bill that he would pass piece-by-piece.

So there is no substantive difference between the amnesty goals of Rubio and the Obama administration. Basically, he wants to make it permanent. (read more)
Republican contingent from the “Gang of Ocho”

He takes money,and he therefore takes orders.

It hurt my opinion of Rubio severely when he pulled the gang of 8 gambit.

I have put him on my back shelf. But beside this one (and a big one at that) I have seen him do anything else that was counter conservatism. Will wait and see which way the wind blows. I am a Cruz guy who would accept Trump. But thinking of it, Rubio would be more conservative than Trump except for the one flaw of amnesty

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a person give a great speech and hordes of people anoint him or her the next president. People turn it on and off pretty easily. Today’s hero is tomorrows goat.

We had three genuine Reaganites triumph last night,

my post was in reference to the above comment by Rush. I was pointing out that Trump is no Reaganite. In fact, he is FAR FROM IT.

So, you’ll vote for Hillary or Bernie? Our last nominees are Romney, McCain, Bush, which one of those is more C than Rubio?

Amnesty is a terrible idea, and hopefully Rubio has learned from it.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Rush has a blind spot for his friends.

I am sure Trumpsters were perfectly happy with Rush when he has defended Trump for quite some time.

Not really, Rush doesn't get Trump or his appeal. Screw Rush. He doesn't get it because he is not really a pro American Nationalist and immigration not his thing.

LOL Of course Bush is getting no where attacking Rubio who both are establishment types. Bush is an idiot and their dynasty has ended.
Rubio has family connections to FOX, check it out , so of course FOX pushes him while the establishment is in cahoots against Trump and Cruz.

Awwwww. Won’t be long and ole tippy toes will be out campaigning with the Rube. Both bad actors have some chamber of commerce butt to kiss and make up too for all the money spent with almost a year to go.
