Understanding that Rubio is a Catholic and that his faith may occasionally come into conflict with reality, I found his comments on the Popea bit confusing. He states that, as "...the vicar of Christ" the Pope's theological opinions are infallible. While I'm sure the Pope has spoken on theological issues, very few of those opinions have been given any press. Instead, the pope tends to address primarily economic and political issues, which are, in my opinion, reflective of an adherent of Liberation Theology at the least and Marxism at the most. Rubio went on to comment that, on issues of the economy, the Pope is "...a person with an opinion." When asked about the Pope's views on global warming, Rubio stated that Francis is merely encouraging us "...to be good stewards of the earth."
Baier went on to ask Rubio about the fact that so many Republican voters are "mad" at the GOP for violating so many promises made to the electorate. Rubio's response (in apparent defense of McConnell and Boehner)? "What we need is a Republican president" and he went on to suggest that there's only so much "the Party" can do with control of the House and Senate." Rubio went on to suggest that, without a veto-proof majority, the House and Senate can't do a thing to stop Obama.
To his credit, when responding to a question about Obama's performance and the debacle that has resulted from electing a first-term senator, Rubio stated that Obama has seven years' experience as president and he would have been a failure if he had been a CEO, governor or had served 40 years in the Senate and concluded that a president must focus on "Free Enterprise, Limited Government and Strong National Security."
I find myself wondering what he and the Republican "leadership" have done to further any of those three principles in the last seven years. It seems that the only core principles to which the GOPe adheres are those of fundraising, reelection and staunch opposition to principled constitutional conservatives.

Who is Marco Rubio?
Good question.... Rubio is EITHER....
1) A Conservative trying to TRICK liberals into voting for him..
-OR-
2) A liberal trying to TRICK conservatives into voting for him..
*** he is either DISHONEST.. or extremely confused..
Apparently Fla doesn’t support either bush or rubio...their support is going to Trump...
That says a lot when your own state won’t support you....
First word that comes to mind?

“Rubio is a statist and a judicial supremacist. If this is the best the conservatives can do - they should just go home. Here are his pathetic comments regarding the SCOTUS homosex marriage opinion: “While I disagree with this decision, we live in a republic and must abide by the law. As we look ahead, it must be a priority of the next president to nominate judges and justices committed to applying the Constitution as written and originally understood.” He actually wants us to agree with the fiction that SCOTUS can make law. Then he puts people onto the hand wringing train of waiting for the next SC nominees who will uphold the Constitution (which of course never happens - the preborn have been waiting for these justices for over 40 years now). The man is a fraud.”

This scenario could happen under a Democrat or under a Republican. The citizenry really does not have much control of the actions and ambition of the president, no matter whom he be because the other two branches have ceded effectively all power to the Executive. The present Executive is increasingly a Dictator and the next one must necessarily be one. He may be a failed dictator who is overwhelmed by the established bureaucracy and the Democrats or he may be able to forcefully take charge.
That is why I think Trump is the only one who can turn it around. He has the force of personality to do it. So far he has not said that he will do some of the very necessary things like peremptorily abolishing EPA and the DOEs and totally reconstituting and restaffing DoJ but if he knows he has to do that, to return the Republic or to Rule, if he says that is what he means to do then he probably would not survive to be elected.
He has to kill the Agencies and he then has to induce the States to call that Convention. He cannot return power to the Congress without the Congress simply replacing him as the Dictator. He must induce the States to take power back unto themselves and shield the process from suppression by the Congress and the political parties.
It doesn’t matter who he is. the GOPe can’t elect him without conservatives.
A John McCain wannabe?
a proven, two faced, liar. a man who traded on conservatism to get elected and then abandoned it to champion rubio-schumer amnesty.
a man who has no problem saying one thing in english and the opposite in spanish.
in otherwords, an alinskite, pretend-conservative politician.
he’ll never get my vote under any circumstances.
He’s a Gang member.
