Just what the GOP needs, another Amnesty Queen like Rubio to really depress turnout.
Rubio seems to be a part of the skin tone cartel.
Yeah...he needs a pro-amnestry POS to help balance out his pro-gun control, pro-socialized medicine stances.
Who’s better? West isn’t running
Isn’t it worse if Repubs pander to a group simply due to their color? How about we pick the right Conservative no matter what group?
Pray for America
My top issues are DEFENSE and BUDGET... he’s Reaganite all the way there.
FWIW, Reagan had an amnesty too...
“I don’t care for his immigration talk, but his policy ideas on immigration are pretty good, coupled with border security and business hiring enforcement.”
Amen!
Rubio was born in MIAMI in 1971, where his LEGAL immigrant parents had settled
Whatever are you talking about, man
Nonsense. Rubio is being pushed as a VP by Jeb Bush and his ilk.
Yes. He is not natural born. Have they not been listening? I cannot knowingly vote/act to invalidate the Constitution. This is what I hate about the Dems and many Repugs--lawless.
No.
“...where his LEGAL immigrant parents had settled”
but not yet become citizens. As I’ve read, at the time of Marco’s birth, his parents had yet to become citizens. That would disqualify him from NBC status if interpreted as the term was understood at the time of the Constitution’s framing.
Hey, Mitt...
If you want to win you need to grow a pair and nominate a conservative female like Pam Bondi...
She, being one of the AGs suing Obammy on health care, would knock The issue as well as Biden out of the park...
Hello? Anyone listening? *crickets*
Well, they’re vetting him. Rubio was born in American, and IS a US citizen... but his dad was not a citizen in 1971, mom was. I understand the debate, and we’ll see what the vetting process brings.
This is not comparable to Obama at all, who wasn’t even born on US soil and used a fraudulent BC!
How you can you possible equate the two?
“What you need is a solid conservative to unify the base. It doesn’t have to be anybody flashy. “
I dunno about ‘flashy’, but if you pick a Rob Portman we’ll get clobbered... Romney is boring enough, and does not sell conservative economics to independents as well
WE NEED A COMMUNICATOR... the main reason I want Rubio is precisely that because he is a very good one.
Not only is he a RINO, an non NBC citizen, but he is too young. Sheesh didn’t the Republicans learn their lesson by picking that one young guy who destroyed the chances of Bush I? They will have Rubio in diapers with a rattle saying is this who you want one hearbeat way from the Presidency and most people will be wary. You need someone at least in their 50’s with lots of experience.
OK MY TOP “Issues” are the US Constitution and there, “Reaganite Republican” YOU, have been tried and found WANTING!

His parents did not become citizens until 1975....Rubio is NOT eligible for President and he knows it which is why he has been dodging the bullet on it. He knows but can’t get others to believe.
Article II, Section 1, para 5, describes the eligibility requirements for President. The US Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett defined what the term natural born means: to be born of parents who are both citizens. Rubio's parents were not US citizens at his birth.
It amazes me still how ignorant people are of the constitution and this issue in particular which has been discussed for 4+ years. Have you not attempted to understand the issue until now?
