Rubio is only getting away with his lies because he is playing for Team Amnesty. If he tries this willfully dishonest crap against the Dems he will get ripped to shreds by the MSM/Dems. His buddies Reid & Schumer will be happy to lead the charge against him later.
Let me try to rephrase that in SOL terms.
Rubio is just another GOP tool of the Dems like McCain is. While Rubio beats on Obama on TV over Benghazi and IRS to try to convince us that he is OK, the Dems will say nothing about him in return(unlike weapon Cruz). Why??
This is because an bi-partision immigration reform bill is the big prize for Obama. Its a total win-win for Dems.
So like McCain when Rubio’s worth to Dems goes negative they will try to destroy him, just like they did to McCain 2008.
Is that what you were getting at?
