The moderates plus the crossover Dems in open primary states that gave us Romney will do their best to get Rubberio nominated. He will then give a nod to the insurgency by selecting Carson as VP. That’s how the Establishment does it, they absorb splinter movements by embracing them - the better to suffocate.
Rubberio thought he saw the train leaving the station on the Gang of 8 bill and jumped on board. Political opportunism is almost worse than supporting the bill on its substance.
Rubberio also failed to repudiate the claims of other supporters of amnesty that opposition was racist. For that alone, I would never vote for the bastard. He can go to Hell.
We agree completely. I don't demand perfect, and Rubio talks as if he were pretty good by my standards. If he had not lied on Amnesty, he'd be very close to Cruz on my list. I'll take differences on trade in stride, differences on abortion (not all-out democrat support for killing babies, but anything from pro-life to states rights), and even differences on drug legalization. The only areas where I will not compromise are (1) Gun rights, (2) repealing Obamacare, and (3) stopping Amnesty and deporting illegals.
