Trump: Rubio is Big Tech’s ‘Puppet’
Life Zette ^ | Laura Ingraham

Posted on 11/01/2015 1:18:32 AM PST by GonzoII

"Senator Rubio works for the lobbyists, not for Americans,” Donald Trump said in a post-debate print interview. "That is why he is receiving more money than anybody from Silicon Valley."

After a confusing answer on H-1B visas (for so-called "high-skilled" workers), in which he claimed he had not been critical in the past of pro-amnesty Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Trump moved to clarify his position in comments published on the website Breitbart.com.

Regarding the familiar claims that the technology industry has a dearth of exceptional talent, Trump shot back: "We are graduating two times more students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) than find jobs in those fields every year. We have a surplus of talented Americans and we need them to get jobs first."

Rubio is the worst one of the bunch. I don’t really understand the big surge in popularity all of a sudden.

Trump is so far ahead he does not need to talk about the other candidates- it only elevates them above their status

Billionaire Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has given $3 million to Rubio’s Super PAC and Mr. Ellison is a passionate advocate for “immigration reform,” (expanded legal immigration and expanded allowances for foreign workers), which are right up Rubio’s alley.

You don’t?

Jeb’s all but dead. His campaign, that is.

It is no more real than is Carson or was Fiorina. He is a lackey for big business and the donor's that own him. Rubio is nothing but a pretty face, quick tongue, and walking disaster.

His past cannot be completely hid and will lead to his undoing. Stands for amnesty as point one. His corrupt real estate and other deals in Florida, his affairs, his and family drugs, and more. These might be in the shadows now, but they have not be seriously vetted yet and will eventually do him in.

Because he is bought and paid for by somebodies a long time ago. ‘10, to be specific when moneyboys finally understood what the TEA Party meant and was chartered to achieve.

So Rubio is getting Jeb’s votes? Probably, but there has to be something to his appeal. Cute face could be the whole thing. He won the straw poll at a debate-watching party I went to, and seemed to have a lot of women friends from the audience response.

The money backing is part of the surge. I think I just read of another big donor. I hope your prediction pans out and people realize what a snake he is.

It’s funny to watch the stupidity and ignorance of the Trump worshippers over and over again.

Do you people have no shame contradicting yourselves to falsely prop-up the charlatan that is Trump?

Intellectual dishonesty at its finest. Trump gave a HORRIBLE answer in the debate on this issue. It wasn’t “confusing”. It was Trump talking out his ass again forgetting for a moment what his talking points were given by his people. Then he “rights” the ship by doing a 180 and giving Breitbart a completely different set of answers after the debate.

Trump tells people what they want to hear depending on the audience. And some of you have bought it hook, line, and sinker.

As for Rubio, sucks to be him. Someone should tell Rubio that he should go give a speech where he calls out the Gang of 8 as his worst mistake ever and that his decision to support a pathway to citizenship for illegals in the past was boneheaded. If Trump can get away with comments like being pro-single payer, pro-Kelo, liberal on social issues, and contradicting his own hardline approach on immigration, then reasoning says the others should too. But we know if Rubio tried that, people wouldn’t buy it because of his history. Yet Trump’s history doesn’t matter.

Donald Trump rules! Will you vote for him if he gets to run against Hillary? Or will you sit it out?

Rubio has had his life story so cutely and passionately constructed from 15 years ago that he will not be able to recollect them ‘accurately’, quickly or smoothly, the GOPe wing of the RATS will keep him protected as Geo S. did zero... there will be slipups. Trump really is running F-5 tornadoes all over the GOPe’s regional work desks for Bush and Rubio.

I hope some black author in the future researches and reveals why Carson is holding the ground the (mega-fabricated) polls have given him for six months.

Dondi is another Tea Party-backed candidate who went RINO as soon as he was elected. He’s a phony who is owned by crony capitalists, open borders advocates, and the GOPe.

Its very easy. Rubio lies from his heart. He did it to us originally to my face in June of 2010 in Lake City, Florida.

Now he lies to us by omission. He talks a good game about what he would do well into the future for things like enforcement and guest, or work, visas but is totally silent on what to do about the present.

HE LIES TO US FROM HIS HEART, and that is unforgivable because he will do it again.

I agree. Trump should be directing his fire at Obama...and painting Hillary as Obama's flunky - Electing Hillary would be a continuation of the Obama disaster.

If you recall, Obama campaigned against Bush, and said that McCain would simply be a 3rd term of Bush.

The moment the interest rates are raised, the economy will collapse. This needs to be tied to Obama and the Democrat party.

...

Rubio will lie, cheat and steal in exchange for money and power. He’s all about ambition. He used and then abused the Tea Party once he got what he wanted.

My days of voting for any liberal or pseudo-conservative are over. I will write Cruz’s name in whether he’s the nominee or not.

And you need to stop being intellectualy dishonest. You CANNOT look at Trump’s answer from the debate where he flat out lied about the previous comments he made that were clearly posted on his website. Trump’s answer in the debate was Pro H1-B. Then a few hours later,he gives Breitbart another answer when he realized the first answer was too “soft”.

He pulls the same crap with Health Care. Talks about HSA’s then in the same breathe talks about the Government having a responsibility to pay for women’s health in a plan similar to Obamacare (but deemed “Great”).

Trump has no position on any issue except he stands for Trump. He throws tantrums and makes it about “Me Me Me”.

If you’re not going to vote for a conservative this time around, I suggest you don’t vote. It would do less damage to the country in the long run.

He lies from his heart because he thinks the average White American is an idiot. His disdain for all of us is quite visible now.

Replace the word “Rubio” with “Trump” and take out the word “money”, and the same statement holds true based on the same facts.
