You give Rubio far too much credit for being hoodwinked or fooled by the Democrats. No such thing happened. He was all in for amnesty from the very beginning. No one twisted his arm to do this.
The only people who were fooled, were those conservatives who trusted him, or who gave him their money and votes.
Rubio was supposed to be the 'right-wing' front man for the treasonous Gang of 8. They (and he) were surprised as hell when the base reacted to his all-too-obvious treason against our mutually held convictions. In my mind, they were all so disconnected from reality, that they really believed we could be led by the nose by this charlatan.
I guess I was being soft hearted trying to give him the benefit of the doubt....You point out some things that I have followed and forgotten about (information overload).
In that light, can’t disagree at all
