The “crazy little brother” approach in negotiations. Here, Rubio is China and Obama is North Korea.
Good cop Rubio: Look. I'm going to give amnesty...er, a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. But I'll pay some lip service to border security. Believe me, you DON'T want Obama creating a path to citizenship for these 11 million illegal immigrants, he's crazy! So let me do it the right way before he does it his way, the wrong way!
US Citizen: What's the difference, we wind up with 11 million illegals as citizens either way.
Good Cop Rubio: Didn't you hear me? You don't want OBAMA making them all legal, now do you?
