Rubio? You mean as in Bush Lite? I am down on Cruz because he appeared, with Walker, to be the Last Best Hope. He collapsed in the glare of The Leader Hussein and then so did Walker. We have no on, now. Or rather, it simply does not matter. The next president will be a dictator. We will be, at best, trying to elect the dictator most compatible with our own interests, or such interests as do not include the Constitution. That would still seem to leave us Walker as the one who has made the least audible concession to unlimited immigration.
The Presidency has been endowed by Congress and the courts with the powers reserved by the Constitution for for Congress. What has been given up cannot be regained. This Congress will pile grant after grant of its residual powers to The Leader as rapidly as it is able. It looks rather like the transition of Rome from Republic to Empire, except that Rome did not dismantle its military in the process and that Empire was a success, as empires go, for several more centuries. This "Empire" appears to be destined to be at the mercy of several other imminent empires that are growing rapidly and have already attacked us with no response.
