Republicans want a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton. A new Fox News poll finds Marco Rubio performs best against the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Rubio has an eight-point edge: 50 percent to Clinton's 42 percent.
Then again, Clinton -- who commands 55 percent support among Democratic primary voters, easily outpacing Bernie Sanders (32 percent) and Martin O'Malley (3 percent) -- trails all top-tier Republicans in hypothetical 2016 face-offs.
Jeb Bush is ahead of Clinton by six points (45-39 percent). She trails both Ben Carson (47-42 percent) and Donald Trump (46-41 percent) by five. Ted Cruz bests her by four (45-41 percent), while Chris Christie has a three-point edge (46-43 percent).
Carly Fiorina fares the worst against Clinton: they tie at 42 percent. Women go for Clinton over Fiorina by four points, while men back Fiorina by six points.
Trump also tops Sanders by five points (46-41 percent).
Rubio not only commands the widest margin against Clinton, he's the only one who hits the 50 percent mark. Rubio's margin comes entirely from men, who go for him over Clinton by 17 points. The two are tied among women voters.
This is the first time Rubio has topped Clinton, although itâs always been close -- she was up by just one point in June (45 Clinton vs. 44 Rubio).

You must want to abandon the rule of law and have Rubio give away the country with amnesty.
So in a battle of two amnesty clowns, one of them wins.
Great. :/
There is little doubt Rubio is the last GOPe candidate, Jeb hasn’t gotten an ounce of tranction, so Rubio will be the “all in” bet for the GOPe.
If you want another Bush administration, Rubio about as close as you get get without electing Jeb. He’s owned lock stock and barrel by the same money donors/puppet masters as the rest of the GOPe pack... which just happen to share the same goals as the big DNC donors.
Rubio is just more of the same, Rubio or Hillary will make little difference behind the scenes, which is exactly how the oligarchy likes it.
LIES from Fox News.
I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. That Fox news the Democrats.. The GOP are all in collusion is silly talk. Rubio is rated 94% by the Heritage foundation. Are they in on it too?
Shouldn’t that be Fox News Push?

Marco already in the pocket of Big Sugar/(in other words, pay him enough money and he'll sell America out again) the precedence where Marco compromises his stance for money, once again.

I don't necessarily agree with all of the premises mentioned by the authors of these articles, but they are clear on one thing, Marco has no problem voting the way that best lines his pockets. Once you give up the idea that the nation of your birth has sovereign laws, it is easy to put your principles up for sale. Whether those principles are the nation's laws themselves or anything else you can think of, makes no real difference. Marco's principles left him long ago with his increasing appetite for more and more money.
Marco loves money

Marco's shady Real Estate dealings: Marco knows how to use his crony friends.
Pertinent parts -
"Real estate records show the Rubios made a 10 percent down payment to buy that $550,000 house. He says he paid cash for upgrades to the home before construction finished.
A little more than a month after the Rubios closed on the house in December 2005, a bank owned by one of his political supporters appraised the house at $735,000 and gave Rubio a $135,000 home equity loan. Rubio has said the add-ons to the house, plus Florida's heated real estate market, justified the appraisal."

(We don't have to go into his real estate and housemate David Rivera's problems.)
Anyone who wants Marco Rubio to support their cause had better have a billion dollars laying around somewhere. We the people are broke. But Marco can always rely on his crony friends.
Have fun reading.
Perhaps if you asked LaRaza, Marco would have a 100% rating. You should look at the Heritage foundation’s opinion on amnesty or you might as well cite LaRaza or Club for Amnesty, I mean Growth as proof Marco would be a good candidate.
I am beginning to think that Marco Rubio might be even worse than Jeb B. He has done nothing, his wife is consultant or adviser to one of his billionaire handlers, and his parents were not citizens.
