Haley Barbour, Rob Jesmer (ex-NRSC director), Dan Senor (foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney) have recruited Mark Zuckerberg to send friend requests for Rubio’s immigration plan to conservatives. Zuckerberg is funding a “conservative” that is running ads praising Lindsey Graham and Rubio for being real conservatives.

Rubio has gone from a political hack to a full blown media whore, hasn’t he?

But Limbaugh, Levin, and Hannity still respect him.
Wow.

The only reason that the clueless totalitarian Zuckerberg is standing is because the propaganda press still needs this moron.

Zuckerberg = useful idiot 101.

All I have in response to that is a series of expletives.
