1. Took the focus off the economy and jobs; and,
2. Knocked the legs out from Rubio's (and others') proposal for their version of the "Dream Act;" and,
3. Put Mittens in a box; if he openly supports the Fascist, Neo-Commie's Unconstitutional move, it will depress even more--if possible--the lukewarm support he has among Cons and if he strongly opposes it, O'Bummer, the RATS and MSM will hammer him and hurt him even more with the Latino vote.
Best thing Mittens could have done (and still could) is simply hammer Barry over and over as to the "Unconstitutionality" of his Diktat and simply say it should be up to Congress to decide what laws re: Immigration Reform should be.
Mittens doesn’t worry about the Constitution much more than Obama does!
But the Dims sure are using their ammo very early in the campaign. Already they've about beaten Bain Capital to death for little gain, and they might well be doing the same with amnesty for illegal aliens.
And Rubio shouldn't have had any Dream Act scheme of his own. All that will accomplish is the alienation of many conservatives and the gain of few if any Latino votes.
But the economy will still be here in October and nothing is likely to improve it much to help Obama. And that's why Republicans should not get into a pandering to Latinos contest with the Dims. Make it the economy...
Straw man argument. Legal American Latinos are as opposed to amnesty for illegals as you or I.
Mittens failed to enunciate the constitutional conservative position (which 70% of the American people agree with). Clue: he's not as "severely" conservative as you want him to be.
