That’s an amusing explanation. Why amusing? Because you can use every point to argue that Rubio is the best choice.

Process:
Purists: Rubio is pro-amnesty!

Realists: Yes but on every other issue he votes with us and he says he will enforce current laws.

Purists: But he voted for amnesty on Gang of 8!

Realists: He beats Clinton and Sanders in head to heads, has a strong Latino following, and can deliver Florida. He has all the demographic boxes checked.

Purists: But he BETRAYED us on amnesty.

Realists: Pure conservatives can’t win elections. Stop being a one issue voter. This election is about taking our country back and to do that we have to WIN.
