Donald Trump seems to want in on the escalating feud between Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R).
In an early-Sunday morning tweet-storm, a tactic that's become a hallmark of his campaign for president, Trump weighed in Rubio and Bush's relationship.

“That’s exectly what we should be looking for in a president, because putin and the mullahs are totally going to be intimidated by that.”
Exactly- he is unpredictable and unconventional. Rather like the ‘bombing begins in 5 minutes’ comment.
How is backing someone who won’t say their position on amnesty (Rubio or Cruz) better than one who will deport them all and make them get back in line - BEHIND those trying to get in legally?
It only is if you want amnesty.
I take it that he’s talking about Hillary, not himself. He doesn’t consider himself a politician, so that’s what I’m basing it on.
I’m wondering if he’s talking about something about Hellary that’s getting ready to surface? Or, something she sent out about him? Not sure.
Amen.
Won’t vote for him.
Go Trump.
Man, I better apologize to all of you.
I was being snarky with my post number 4 which asked: Ben Carson anyone?.
Sorry.
I have been a Trump fan ever since he publically toyed with being a candidate 4 years ago.
Has Trump been drinking?
LOL
Where he would be able to use his magnificent mind to prosecute and convict the hundreds of traitors currently ruining the country, and convict them.
then onto the Supreme Court!
Where he would be able to slap down and ridicule the anti-Constitutional "enemies domestic" on the bench, and reverse decades of outrageous anti-American judicial activism.
I found this in the comments at Conservative Treehouse:
When Rubio was Speaker of Florida House he blocked 6 illegal immigration enforcement bills:

He also co sponsored a DREAM Act bill:

Actually, FreeReign, you are putting words in Trump's mouth.
It is obvious you are the one who is not smart enough.
Rubio wanted a citizenship amnesty. That should disqualify him.
I previously documented Cruz's position. Cruz's last stated position was against a legalization amnesty. Since then he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
...make them get back in line - BEHIND those trying to get in legally?
"Make them get in line behind those trying to get in legally" are your words, not Trump's. If you can find Trump's quoted words saying that you should document it. That would change everything in my opinion.
At this point we haveTrump who has said more than a few times that he wants to expedite the good ones back in.
That is a definite legalization amnesty. It's an over-and-back amnesty.
If you want that, then you want amnesty.
I believe he posted an apology earlier upthread, saying that the post you were replying to was sarcasm and that he’s not actually a Carson supporter.
A guy says he wants to expedite the good ones back and you think he doesn't want to expedite the good ones back in.
LOL.
Anything you say "smart" guy.
“Times are tough for Americans.....and this is why immigration and jobs are at the top of the most-important-issues lists.”
As long as Ann Coulter doesn’t turn on Trump, we’re fine. She hasn’t. Ann is the canary in the coal mine. With the fence up, that’s the bottom line. Trump’s beautiful door is for legal entries, not illegal ones. I trust Trump. He’s no dummy and he’s going to do more than all of the other Pub candidates combined to stem illegal immigration. Name one who would do more than Trump. There aren’t any.
Did you mean Xanax?
;D
Truth!
This is a war for the soul/future of the nation.
No more Mr Nice Guys, please!
Yep, I posted before I read that. I had to tease him that I thought he’d gotten hold of some of Carson’s supplements. :)
I think it's too soon for that...The minute he comes out with specifics, the smooth talkers are going to be all over his plan...Besides, the details likely are no where near being worked out...
We know he wants to move out the illegals and give as many of those jobs to Americans as possible...
The H1-b visa foreign workers, who dominate competition for American workers, are overwhelmingly in IT field, as programmers.
If I understand correctly, Trump is talking about Foreign students who graduate with post-graduate degrees (Masters & PhD) in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math).
The smartest American students prefer to go in Medicine & Law & Business fields. That is where the big bucks are in America. That creates a shortage of talented graduates with advanced degrees in STEM. Those foreign students have skills to start their own businesses. When we kick them out after graduation, they compete with our corporations from abroad.
I saw a report saying we allowed 1.8 Million legal immigrants in 2013. 97% of them were sponsored by a close relative. Majority are either under-educated, unskilled, or seniors over age 65. Those people become a burden on our safety net. A close relative of my own, immigrated at age 70, collected Supplemental social security for 22 years before passing. Never paid a dime in social security taxes.
The advanced degree STEM graduates are an asset to our economy. Trump is exactly right in giving them preference over relatives based immigrants.
