That’s why they call her pantsuit Ole Crusty!
I believe has Rubio learned his lesson and am willing to give him a look. And I’m a very strong supporter of first securing the border and guest worker permits for illegals second with strong enforcement for both. A path to citizenship? Get to the back of the line.
As the primary campaign goes on, I hope that every thread doesn’t turn into a mini-bugzapper thread. I would reserve that treatment for Jeb Bush who is already pandering to illegals and pushing common-core education for all.
I thought it was a poor speech. Nothing but boilerplate. He did everything but come out with a baseball, a hot dog and an apple pie.
Rubio is weak. Not presidential material. Plus he’s a backstabber.
We can say that here on FR, but if you think any major party candidate is going to say that in front of a camera, you're unfortunately dreaming.
Jeff Sessions will. Of course I’m convinced he’s the last American patriot left in Congress.
California keeps them because they are so juicy
what, no Chevrolet?
I’m not supporting him... I’m for Cruz, but so far no one said that they are deportation. If someone does...then I’ll say I’m impressed.
OK... I wasn’t around for much of Ike’s term (I was less than 1 1/2 years old when he left), so I stand corrected. We need another Ike.
Lol...funny...
How do you ‘secure the border’ if you do not deport foreign nationals who are here illegally?
40% of the illegals in the United States came here on visitor visas and never returned home. How exactly would ‘securing the border’ touch them?
The only thing most illegals want is for the situation to remain just as it is. They live here, work here, get all sorts of welfare benefits here, and they don’t have to bother with all sorts of laws and regulations that we do.
If you want to ‘secure the border’ and effectively lock the door behind them they are all for it. They may even throw a party in your favor.
Oh we don’t keep our illegals. We share them with the rest of the country. And we import more to replace the ones we send you.
Would you prefer MS-13, Surenos, Nortenos, White Fence Gang? We have them all and so will you.
If you’re quick you can tie up the spray paint franchise, because graffiti is a major part of the new culture we will be sending you. Enjoy.
I will say this about Rubio, he is the best speaker both in speeches and in interviews.
One thing that Cruz (who is a very good speechifier over all ) should lose, is that little “tee-hee” giggle he puts out every time he gets some applause. Lots of times it comes out when speaking of deadly serious issues, and it just seems inappropriate.
Illegals will get no breaks under Cruz. And I have no doubt that he will stop the flow. Can’t say the same for any of the others.
Being sardonic of course... the swarm can and does stray. It looks for anywhere that’s lefty and settles in.
YAWN
Traitorous Empty Suit
It's worse than that actually. They enjoy being a protected class….But you're right. The last thing they want is more competition coming from behind them.
Everything I've read on Rubio -other that the standard bashing hyperbole- is that Rubio supports a border security first approach. That is as good as we are going to get and if it's done correctly we should see a larger version of an AZ SB1070 style exodus.
Agreed. I don't like his experience level compared to some of the others who are running, but he is a good speaker and expresses conservative economic principles as well as anyone. His "American Dream" story is a big plus. I also liked the way he made fun of himself after taking heat for drinking water during the SOTU rebuttal a few years back. I would think young people, especially Latinos, would find him compelling.
Presidential material - maybe not, but VP definitely. I'd still like to see him run and win the Florida governorship.
