Rubio was/is a tea party Republican who is having trouble getting traction this year because he wrong-footed himself on immigration. But his record is conservative, certainly more conservative than Trump's.

Even Jeb Bush's record is far more conservative than Trump's, whose record up until very recently was that of a Manhattan liberal. Trump claims a very recent conversion to conservative principle and asks to be taken at face value. This would be far more persuasive if he reacted with anything other than anger and insults to anyone who questions him.

When someone who the day before yesterday was on the other side claims to have changed his mind, he should not demand a leadership role as a matter of right. He should be willing and able to discuss his new-found views rationally, and with civility to those who ask to be persuaded, not harangued.

You need to find out who owns Rubio...and they are NOT on our side.

Paul Ryan was hand picked for DC Politics by one Cesar Conda, open border, free traitor powerful lobbyist who happens to be chief of staff for....MARCO Rubio...one in the house, one in the senate...double Trojan horse! Conda,along with Grover Norquist, Steve Moore of Heritage destroyed prop 187 in Calif and every meaningful attempt to control our borders.

Your argument that Jeb and Marco is more conservative than .Trump depends on one’s definition of conservatism. I do not consider open borders and amnesty conservative. I do not consider free trade, as opposed to fair trade, conservative.

I consider putting America’s best interests first, having secured borders, improving the economy through smart business planning, protecting the elderly, infirm, and vets conservative.

I am sprinkling the following on many threads today hoping it does some good:

Cruz is my candidate, but I could vote for Trump because I am hoping he means what he says about protecting our borders.

I really wish the Trump and Cruz sniping would stop. It accomplishes nothing here on FR, and I am convinced that some of the bashers on both sides are just Rat trolls. Tearing down one candidate is not a way to convince someone to switch to the candidate you support. It merely causes animosity and gives the left ammunition for the general.
