He's got a lock on the liberal Republican crowd.
Heh!
I will not vote for ANYONE who spouts the “ U.S. is racist” crap.
I’m sick to death of it.
If they don’t like it they should leave, as many of our ancestors did when they felt wronged by their old countries.

America is racist crap, as it is known, is becoming widely accepted in some localities
He was deluded, as many were, that the Hispanic vote is more significant than it ever will be, short of a full invasion which is still a working possibility
It is a ruse of the chamber of commerce
Rubio is four years too late for his schtick. It’s over. People are sick of it trumps proving that. Rubio is a has been in his forties out classed by the Donald. He should just give up and go home. Get an ice cream and hang with his kids
