It is a slur that would make most conservatives wince: You're a Republican Barack Obama.

And for most of his presidential campaign, Marco Rubio - first-term senator, former state legislator, onetime college professor and fresh face for a party with a fusty image - has always had an answer for why the comparison was unfair.

By selling out America.

I can see the comparison though. Both have egos as big as their ears. Both are globalists.

That’s funny, but I could see Rubio being just like 0bama, too.

NYT blows their dog whistle to send 'Rat cataphracts stampeding into GOP primaries to vote for Rubio.

Playing games again. Operation Chaos II.

Rubio is far from being a clone of Obama on most issues.

On the other hand, he DELIVERED THE VOTES to Obama for Amnesty - and for that HE WILL NEVER have a chance in this Primary season...and his now-declining poll numbers are showing exactly that.

Rubio delivered the votes for Obama on amnesty.

And Cruz delivered the votes for Obama on the first TPA.

And Rand Paul delivered the votes McConnell needed at one point.

And Lindsey Graham delivers the votes for McCain's terrorists, every time.

It's the size of ego and level of compromise it takes to get to the US Senate. Definitely Jeff Sessions, and maybe Mike Lee, are the ONLY two who do not think they can change things through their political skills.
