Unfortunately, those 200 are not in the US Senate and potentially able to get multi-millions in financial backing.

I listened to Rubio state a number of times that he has always supported security first, and that he repudiated the gang of 8 when it became evident they weren’t living up to their word on border security first.

See: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/05/Senate-aide-Rubio-trying-to-get-out-of-the-Gang-of-Eight

FWIW, I listened to him 2 weeks ago repeat the same thing. Rubio was OK with me before the gang of 8. He got in a bit over his head for a newbie Senator, and now he regrets it. I don’t like that he was snookered, but he was.

On the other hand, if we don’t start picking a few to forgive some things, we’re going to end up with zero on our side. Maybe that’s just the chaplain in me coming out, but at some point it’s counter-productive to refuse to believe that a person can make mistakes, apologize, and still be on your side.

Why would I back a Marco Rubio when I have a Ted Cruz, though?
