There is a very good reason that so many conservatives don't trust Marco Rubio. Some would have you believe it was youthful naivete and inexperience that allowed him to be compromised by the Gang of Eight. I don't think so. I think he was offered money and power and immediately caved. Donald Trump's Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, is telling a story about Marco Rubio and how he treated an ICE officer during the Gang of Eight's manipulations and it is revealing. Not in a good way either. Miller was the communications director for Sen. Jeff Sessions, so he was there and knows how it went down. Rubio's treatment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane, who represents thousands of ICE officers, was simply disgraceful. He was at a meeting where Schumer was speaking with Rubio at his side and Crane wanted to ask a question. He repeatedly asked to be recognized and Schumer wouldn't do so. He eventually had Crane, an ICE agent and a Marine, removed from the meeting. Rubio stood there, stone faced and did nothing. Nothing except break every promise he had made to Crane and America about border security and Amnesty.
From Breitbart:
On today's program of Breitbart News Daily, Donald Trump's Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, shared his never-before publicly discussed insights into Sen. Marco Rubio's duplicitous conduct during his push to get the Gang of Eight bill through the Senate.
At that time, Miller served as the communications director for the man who organized opposition to the bill, Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions. Miller recalled how throughout the Gang of Eight push, Sen. Rubio "directly deceived" immigration law enforcement and the American people.
Miller recounted one story in particular about Rubio's treatment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane, who represents thousands of ICE officers. At the time, Crane slammed Rubio for having “directly misled law enforcement." In his Congressional testimony, Crane said, "Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers as what I've seen from the Gang of Eight."
For the first time ever, Stephen Miller explained exactly what Rubio did to Chris Crane and how he had deceived the nation's ICE officers.
Before that infamous meeting, Crane secured a meeting with Rubio after numerous attempts. He wanted to bring a rep from Sessions' office who knew the legalities of the situation for backup, but Rubio wouldn't allow it. Rubio assured Crane that illegal aliens would not be legalized and would not get welfare and food stamps. He promised him resources for the 7,000 ICE agents Crane represented. Rubio lied and broke every one of those promises. He schmoozed with La Raza, the Chamber of Commerce, Barack Obama and every pro-immigration group out there. He still refers to a 'pathway to citizenship'. That's Amnesty. Rubio is adept in covering up what he really believes and what he really intends. He is an establishment shill. The only two who aren't are Trump and Cruz. So, you can see why I find the polls suddenly showing Rubio surging as suspect. You couldn't trust Rubio then, you can't trust him now.
Rubio is right about Obama (actually his staff and government appointees) having an agenda. I’ve been saying it for a long time. We all knew the current infiltrator is a communist and terrorist sympathizer from the get go. Didn’t figure he was a Muslim first. Not even Putin caught that one. The thing is, who would be promoting Rubio’s agenda and what is it?
Let’s just make this simple. We won’t try to even mess with convincing each other with arguments. At this point, any respect I had for Trump supporters is completely gone. There’s been way too much come out that should have blunted any conservative’s enthusiasm for him. If you claim to be a conservative, and you hate Cruz and love Trump, then you’re worse than the slobbering idiots who stand in line to watch Obama. You’re irrational and following a cult. You’re dangerous and I have no respect for you. If at some point you come to your senses, I’ll owe you an apology.

You have a serious case of TDS. You should see a doctor.
“There’s been way too much come out that should have blunted any conservative’s enthusiasm for him.”
Yeah. Building a wall... who wants that? All true conservatives want everything we buy made in China in sweatshops for $0.10 an hour! Pro-life. Bah. Pro 2nd Amendment. Double bah. Putting education back in the hands of the state, fighting political correctness, keeping terrorists out of the country - all things that TRUE conservatives (you know, like the ones who support shady Canadian lawyers) should frown on.

You know I don’t read your posts right?
We all know that Obama is deliberately trying to destroy the US economy and political structure as well as our social culture and faith. That’s a given and I have no problem with Rubio finding an acorn once in awhile.
Overall Rubio is not prepared or competent to become the Leader of the Free World. Its good that Chris Christie pointed it out.
Rubio’s youth did show but I am glad the statement got out so many times because it needs to shouted from the rooftops. Billboards would be good.
“You know I don’t read your posts right?”
Please don’t reply to them, then.
The rules require the title to be given verbatim. The word was in all caps at the source.
I just figured you’d be embarrassed to even post this thread.
No, I would be embarrassed to support Trump.
You can be embarrassed about more than one thing.
Thanks, Parley Baer.
Whatever it takes. That kid can’t even hack it in the Senate and now he wants to be the Prezodent. :-)

Marco “Weasel” Rubio
Well .. if you had read more than a couple of lines, you might have figured it out.
But, you keep supporting Rubio .. good luck with that.
Dude.
I’m a double maxed Cruz contributor. Ted’s MOM called me to thank me for my support.
My sign up date is nearly identical to yours: 16+ years.
My posting history is thick and easily referenced.
Several other posters in this string agree the author’s point was not discernable for the first SIX paragraphs.
I’m a CMC grad, Cum Laude.
My point stands. Your attack is baseless.
Wow .. I didn’t know two lines of text was “an attack”.
Okay .. I’m shaking in my boots now .. I’ll just go and hide in a corner.
