Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., thinks a new bill implementing a merit-based point system for foreigners seeking legal permanent status will never pass the Senate, even though it has President Trump's backing. "That bill's not going to pass," told CBS 4 in an interview Sunday. "I think the White House knows that you don't have 60 votes for that in the Senate."

Only half?
It does seem that way...
One of the main reasons that Rubio did NOT get the Republican nomination was that we all knew he was an “amnesty” advocate.
Marco “the Rube”.. just another small turd in the punch bowl.
We can be pissed that Marco feels this way but grateful that he has pretty much told us how the RINOs that decide Senate votes feel and act....
Hi ltos, I am also a displaced Floridian who remembers Marco’s perfidy very well. He had over 70% approval rating when he first ran. He sounded perfect. Then he started spouting amnesty garbage and his rating fell into the toilet. He began promising he would never vote for amnesty if we would just vote for him.
I know these type RINOs. They grow them huge down in Florida. Once I heard his pro-amnesty nonsense, I refused to donate to him, work for him or in any way support him. It wasn’t until I walked into the voting booth that I decided to vote for him because Charlie Crist was worse.
Then the lying scum betrayed us all and joined the gang of eight. That was it for Marco with me.
Sorry you ended up in Taxachusetts, the state of gay marriage. I’m down here in Alabama, where the globalist RINOs wish they could drag us all to gay marriage status too.
God bless you and may the Lord give us all strength to stand.
Thank you for your kind and understanding words.
I remember when I went into the voting booth and was faced with that choice.
It was either Charlie or the Anti-Crist.
(I actually remember that thought going through my mind!)
It was because I am originally from MA, that when I lived in FL, I had an awful time voting for Romney. It’s why I “left that other site” which was so in the bag for him than it turned my stomach.
Does the GOP in Maine have a solid Trump Republican to run against King?
Why not?
Time’s a-wastin’!

These douche bags in the GOP(Globalist Oligarch Party) think Americans are invisible powerless serfs. He may be right.
Because of cloture in the Senate.
There are three political forces at play in the USA. Globalist, Socialists and Nationalists. Only the first two, which have but tiny constituencies, have political representation. The Nationalists, which comprise the lion’s share majority of the electorate, is out in the cold.
You are starting to make sense, what happened?
I didn't vote for Marco Rubio.
So you are against free trade now? Your post seems to indicate that.
I am not in a business where it really matters one way or another, so I've always understood that others have a much bigger stake in it than I do.
The only thing I insist is that those who advocate one way or another demonstrate to me that they really know what they're talking about.
You are a taxpayer right? You care about America remaining an industrial power? You pay taxes? You care about blue collar people, the new Republican base, and the destruction of small towns in red states that offshoring begets? Right?
Industrial output in the U.S. is higher than it's ever been. That doesn't mean we still need every factory and industrial facility that was built after 1940.
And guess what ... almost every one of these industries in the U.S. is dead-set against protectionism for their own reasons. For one thing, they all rely on foreign materials for their production processes to some degree.
P.S. -- Those "blue collar people" aren't the new Republican base at all. They are the TRUMP base.
How much higher would industrial output be if the USA had not foolishly off shored huge swaths of its industrial base? If you adjust for inflation the out put is not that much greater.
What would industrial output be if we still had an electronics industry, a furniture industry, a textile industry, a replacement car parts industry, an air conditioning industry? I could go on and on.
You go on to say most of the places would be shrinking for other reasons but you fail to state any of those reasons. What the hell kind of argument is that?
The scum in Congress have very nearly lost all consent of the governed, across the political spectrum. The only ones happy with them are the neocon, neolib and globalist elite.
