I used to think very highly of him before I found out about how he really views our illegal alien problem.
My personal view is that he won’t ever change that stance because he’s like many of our other RINOs and have given up on doing anything substantive about the millions we have here illegally - at a very dear financial and social cost, IMO.
The more and more he goes on in this run for office, the more to the left he will wander. This dalliance with the gay side is one. He is listening to his consultants, probably the same ones who consulted for past losers, too.
Unlike at least one of the others, he prefers to move left and poach votes from there when he could just as well double down on conservatism and get back some of those votes that stayed home in 2012. He also is turning his back on millions of legal immigrants who aren’t Hispanic and who might just have a big problem with amnesty and pathways.
I personally don’t think it’s wrong to listen to any group if you’re in the business of politics. It is when you let that group (a demographically very small but vocal one at that) dictate your significant platform policies on the QT that I have a problem. In the end, he loses conservatives, the Dem-hearted will still vote for Hillary, and he’ll have drop out when he can’t pay those consultants anymore. But look on the bright side, his consultants will still have gotten paid and will slither on off to the next gullible RINO.
I guess that is what you do if you are into identity politics. But when you go that route with the homosexual lobby, then you have granted them a certain legitimacy.
And, bottom line, mainlining sexual perversion is their reason for being. And THAT is what they want to talk about, whether Rubio realizes it or not.
