However, I think his loyal friendship causes some problems in that at some point, when that snake he befriended started biting, he needed to do more than just dress the wound.
He verbally beat Paul Ryan like a rented mule. And really trashed Greg Gutfeld for daring to say that his friend Eric Bolling on The Five was being hypocritical about the NSA spying.
But Rubio is a sacred cow. He has even said that people want him to trash Rubio but he won't do it. I think the frustration is the very same as when people were pleading with McCain to go after Obama and he wouldn't. For crying out loud just admit that Rubio is a liar. That would be enough for me. "Like, gosh he says he didn't take my car, but I saw him in it, have a traffic light camera ticket with him driving it, security footage of him getting out and back in...but I just can't admit that he lied to me."
It's very disheartening when those that have a voice won't say what needs to be said (specific to Rubio, I acknowledge the tremendous things he says and the work he does every day). Rubio is a Trojan Horse in the conservative movement and Mark can't bring himself to admit that he got hustled.
Like I said, they have ALL done great things. But there is no excuse, no matter who or what, friend or not, to put anything over the country that has given them the opportunities they have. They of all people.
NONE.
