I don’t agree with the bill, not even the framework, but I wish people would not trash Rubio.
Chris Hayes started out tonight on the subject saying Rubio is jumping ship on ‘his own immigration bill’, his emphasis.
Personally I am taking issue with Rubio’s actions and especially words on this bill. He's been playing Kerby salesman making wild claims about it but maybe now realizes its not selling, or maybe that was his plan all along, to tease and bail.
The one single thing he says he objects to is border enforcement stuff but if you think about it any bill they pass will depend on an POTUS appointee loyalist to enforce it, which would be an Obama Holder type guy. So what's his point? To tease and say that immigration reform will only work if he is POTUS?
“... I wish people would not trash Rubio.”

Rubio KNOWINGLY flew directly onto the flypaper and reveled in his position. NOW he’s trying to escape? Good luck with that.
Marco Rubio is not being trashed here — he is simply recognized now for what he is and for his complete lack of integrity. He’s going to have great difficulty successfully putting his “conservative mask” back on now.
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit, Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
Why not? He deserves it. He knew what he was getting into, and defended the result until the feedback was too strong to ignore.
