"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."

I disagree.
It is obvious you know nothing about tag-team racing along with the concept of the big picture. The most important part of being able to win in anything is predicated on the simple fact you must first finish.
Rubio is the worst one of the bunch. I don’t really understand the big surge in popularity all of a sudden.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Jeb Bush, the primary anointed one of the GOP elite has crashed and burned, now the RNC is covertly backing Rubio desperately, because its their last chance to nominate a puppet. Trump and Cruz or Carson would never accept any degree of control from the RNC and its vested interests, especially Trump.Since Trump is unassailable in the polls, the RNC is getting quite desperate, barely disguising the skip of Jeb Bush’s money backers over to Rubio. This is why Bush is so pished at Rubio and attacked him during the last debate, Bush’s funding is now going over to Rubio.
I do not like Rubio at all and find him to be just another slick handed politician who wants to feather his own nest.
Trump is the real conservative in this race. More real than Ted Crus because Trump can actually whip Hillary. Cruz is too tarnished to beat Hillary if your fantasy league match up ever took place.
I like Cruz but I live on a planet called reality where Hillary is beaten by a large margin. You are like the GOPe they prefer Hillary over Trump because they figure they can work with her. AKA the Washintoon DC division of spoils.
This would be more persuasive to people who are generally ignorant about Trump and politics. I've watched the race closely and have seen no evidence of this. On the other hand, I do know lots of butt hurt Ted Cruz supporters who have been pushing this lie from day one-- who, by the way, have their own difficulties when it comes to Ted Cruz's provable lies about his amnesty support:

"And I’d like to make a final point to those advocacy groups that are very engaged in this issue and rightly concerned about addressing our immigration system, and in particular about addressing the situation for the 11 million who are currently in the shadows. If this amendment is adopted to the current bill the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI status.** They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed under the terms of the bill they would be eligible for LPR status as well, so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principle objective — to provide a legal status for those who are here illlegally to be out of the shadows. This amendment would allow that to happen …
And a second point to those advocacy groups that are so passionately engaged. In my view if this committee rejects this amendment, and I think everyone here views it as quite likely this committee will choose to reject this amendment, in my view that decision will make it much, much more likely that this entire bill will fail in the House of Representantives. I don’t want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass, and so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows, then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to come together and this amendment — I believe if this amendment were to pass the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically, and so I would urge the committee to give it full consideration and to adopt the amendment."
He probably simply forgot or misunderstood the question about the Zuckerberg-Rubio thing. There's no reason for Trump to lie when he calls Rubio an amnesty guy all the time. If this is all you got, it's pretty pathetic.
I forgot to reply to this. Trump isn't anti-H1B. You can read his immigration plan. Trump's plan simply raises wage standards for H1B and inserts an American worker's first policy where business must hire from the domestic pool first. Trump has been talking about focusing on higher end immigrants for a long time, albeit with the proviso that they are second to Americans. You are simply ignorant about what Trump supports because of the derangement you suffer. As for "righting the ship" thing. This was entirely invented by Breitbart's retard Neil Munro. You should read the Breitbart comment's section. Neil was savaged, since Trump didn't say anything substantially different than what he had been saying for the past 150 days. Sure, he didn't mention the American worker's first policy, but then you can't expect the candidate to be able to give all the details of his plan in short replies.
By the way, you shouldn't be ranting about this anyway, because Cruz is horrible on immigration and H1-Bs. Trump's plan is far superior.
I know you didn’t ask me the question, I would like to respond. I have decided to never again support a moderate, progressive, or communist. That means no democrats, and no one left of center in the Republican party. Trump is clearly a progressive, quite left in policy and thought. I will not support him or vote for him.
Yup Rubio is an amnesty whore
Ya know, you might have more leverage in your persuasions ( although I doubt it)
...if you didn’t insult those who you seemingly want to convert.
Now there is a good way to win a political discussion, start by throwing a bomb over the wall.
It's even funnier to watch stupid and ignorant jerks insult thousands of people that they are trying to change perspectives.
Your post makes a lot of sense.
I like that phrase. I think you have the other half of the answer, or the one below the political money answer. Very astute I think.
“Trump is so far ahead he does not need to talk about the other candidates- it only elevates them above their status”
I understand what you are saying but respectfully disagree. Trump has been very successful in calling out other candidates and crippling them with short but deadly comments.
Trump has actually changed the dynamic by doing this (low energy, Lehman Brothers etc).
Part of what he is doing is to systematically eliminate the opposition or opposition effectiveness.
But another part is to demonstrate in real time that he is as capable as he says he is when it comes to leading and winning.
I could be wrong, but that is the way it looks to me.
With respect, I think your criticisms of Trump are exaggerated.
I was familiar with what Trump had said on the issue before the debate. When he was asked the visa question it was readily apparent to me that he misunderstood the question.
He was confusing two separate but very close issues: retaining highly skilled, creative and dynamic foreigners who graduate from American universities with special promise that can benefit America, and the issuance of visas to foreigners when Americans are available to do the same job.
I realized immediately he had made the mistake. Afterwards, he corrected the mistake.
More generally, and again I do say this with respect, I think there is an element of cultural bias at work in the hatred of Trump, just as there was toward Sarah Palin.
Sarah had her own particular background and ways of expressing herself which made a lot of folks not even listen to what she was saying.
I think to some extent Trump’s New York City brashness and his telegraphic manner of expressing himself is a barrier for many folks.
Your post is a bald faced lie. All of it.
Nobody sees or cares about write in votes.
Senior Amnesty told Univison he would cancel Obama’s executive amnesty orders and then took Mister Amnesty Singer’s money. So who did he lie to?
Despite your high minded “principles” lets admit you will be very happy the day Donald Trump wins. Donald Trump is going to help you dodge a bullet. And he has some throwaway progressive stuff. That’s how you win elections and beat Hillary.
But when God willing Trump gets elected he will rule conservative. Somewhere in between Ronald Reagan and George Bush senior. And George Bush Senior was far preferable to Bill Clinton who he lost to.
Thank you Donald.
But you will not sit out Trump vs Hillary will you?
