When campaigning to get elected, Rubio swore he was against amnesty.

After he was elected, he worked on the Gang of 8 to legislate amnesty.

Sorry Marco, our quota of traitors is full.

I know, isn’t it sad? There isn’t ONE true conservative voice there now. They are all shills for McConnell and the Boehner wing of the GOPe.

Has Rubio moved left during the primary? No, he's actually tacked right, especially on immigration . . . If Rubio is "establishment," the term has lost any real meaning.

The author misses the point, probably on purpose. Senate candidate Rubio was Tea Party. Senator Rubio immediately became a member of the pro-Amnesty Gang of Eight. Now presidential candidate Rubio has moved back to the right on immigration. I am not a fool, and I have no intention of believing Candidate Rubio again, now when he has already proven that he's a RINO when in office. Rubio is a big government, pro-Amnesty traitor, and if it comes down to him or Hillary, it's just a question of how quickly America will be destroyed.

This FROM the Washington elite GROPe “All things anti-Trump/anti-Cruz are OK ... as long as the GROPe candidn’t supports us and our lobbyists supporting us in the GROPe in Washington.”

He lost all credibility when he allowed himself to be seduced by Schumer and McCain. I don’t believe he can redeem himself.

It is indeed sad. I go back to the days of Malcolm Muggerige, and Russell Kirk. There were many other fine writers for NR back then. Those days are gone.

He is not just Establishment, he is effectively Democrat. Amnesty turns the Republic 100% over to the Democrat Party for so long as the entity termed United States of America survives.

It will be a lot more than 50 million. Amnesty will set off a wave of migration that will dwarf anything hitherto experienced. It will continue until the USA is as wretched as the lands whence the migration.

Cry me a river, David.

Just part of the never-ending barrage of “Here’s why Trump will never win!”-type articles, and those intended to pump up his competitors.

In short, I don’t care how much Marco Rubio is a “conservative” on paper. I don’t believe a word coming out of his mouth, so even if he says the right things, it doesn’t matter.

Maybe this is the year we’ll kick politicians out of politics. Let’s start at the top.

I don’t disagree. I was really thinking now about the “anchor” leeches it would legitimize. The collateral impact would be far larger.

I must confess that I'm confused...

The authors headline confirms that!

National Review has sure gone down hill!

“Rubio is not strong on immigration, but what about the other issues?”

I wouldn’t call the worlds most rabid supporter of uncontrolled illegal immigration this side of La Raza “not strong on immigration” myself, but immigration is the big difference between GOPe and Americans. Other than immigration, GOPe claims to be for the things that Americans are for, at least until Obama tells them different.

David French is vapidly attempting to pretend that Marco’s stances are not those of the GOPe.

“By their fruits ye shall know them.”

David’s and Marco’s fruits are rancid.
