Rubio: I’ll be the Great Uniter the GOP needs
Hot Air ^ | February 2, 2016 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 02/02/2016 9:17:57 AM PST by C19fan

Can Marco Rubio unite the Republican Party? Does it actually want to be united? Rubio previewed this argument all throughout Iowa, and then in an ebullient quasi-victory speech last night. This morning, the surprisingly strong bronze medalist expanded and expounded on his theme of unity on ABC’s Good Morning America:

Sadly, Rush is pushing Rubio today. Says he's conservative, and between Cruz and Rubio, conservatives got over 50 percent. Except Rubio is no conservative. He toes the line on every establishment position when push comes to shove, even when he says conservative things. And then there's amnesty, the number one thing that would cause extinction of the conservative cause, and America, and Rubio is all in on that.

He's no conservative, he's a phony who has been exposed. Very sad that Rush is pushing him now. I think Rush is willing to settle for Rubio and fears that Cruz will fade. I'm not willing to settle for Rubio. He and the establishment must be destroyed, their party taken over in a hostile takeover by the people. If they maneuver Rubio into the nomination, a. he will lose big time and b. we are done, just as Schlafly says. If he were to win, we are done, after his amnesty passed in record time.

It's Trump or Cruz or Annie.

Then Rubio wouldn’t be the Globalist/GOPe Boy if he did all that. Anyone who says he/she is going to be the ‘Great Uniter’ is someone to run away from fast. Even Jesus never proclaimed himself as a uniter, instead distinguishing those who believed in Him and those who did not - within families there would be fierce enemies. Politics when done right clarifies those basic world view differences... unless you are a liar like Obama, Clinton1/2, Bush1/2/3, et.al., and various others running for office.

Voting for you, Rubio, would be like voting for another 4 years of Obama. You are a worthless, corrupt and incompetent RINO.

I can’t let go of his amnesty disappointment, but I am stunned when people say they would prefer Hillary. Would you really do that?

What difference does it make?

Rubio: I’ll be the Great Uniter

Hey, that's what Obama said; he turned out to be just the opposite.

He also was not eligible to become president.

He also hated the USA, and despised US citizens.

He also was a racist who hated white people.

He also was a homo prostitute, then later a political prostitute.

If you look at CR, Heritage, etc. Rubio has a conservative record (when he shows up to vote), but that doesn’t mean crap to me I don’t want an Amnesty Pimp.

I like Trump, could vote for Cruz but I will 100% stay home if Rubio is our nominee.

Boycott Fox, fire RNC head Mr. Preposterous.

Rubio WILL be the great uniter,

I wonder if Rubio would show up for work with the same commitment he did in the Senate or just have fun like the Muslim does?

Want to make everyone on this thread really puke?

If Rubio somehow manages to win this....just watch.

He will put Kasich on the ticket.

Because that’s the SMART ticket (FL/OH).

Just watch...

Rubio is GOP establishment.. all the way! He will unify those who will become establishment people.. not Conservatives who are fed up with establishment. Look at Fox.. they are ALL RUBIO.

Rubio votes with the establishment, he lives with the establishment, he wants to keep the illegals in the country. He talks a different tune when he’s running for President.. and he’s a good talker.. he can easily fool those who want to be tickled with words.

Rubio cast the deciding vote to give obama the trade deal.. and he was paid $3.9 mil for that vote. He can be bought by special interest.. and to hell with the people out here. We’d be right back in the GOP soup if Rubio is elected.

Voting for Rubio gives mcconnell and the GOP the message that we are not angry.. that we approve of the way the GOP is doing things.. and it’s the whole WRONG message! They don’t get it and they’ll never get it if rubio continues to hold his own or gain in numbers/votes.

"Kid" Rubio was all to happy to snuggle up with Establishment Rinos and Democrats to push Amnesty & path to Citizenship for illegal immigrants.

"Kid" Rubio is exactly what the Establish Elite want, someone they can mold into their image.

This is exactly the thing. If Rubio can convince me he’s “come to Jesus” after the Gang of Eight betrayal, I’m open to supporting him. Other than his support for sugar subsidies — hey, even William Proxmire supported dairy subsidies — he’s been a solid conservative otherwise.

If he doesn’t convince me, I can only support him in the general.

That little pipsqueak isn’t going to unite anybody. He has temporarily convinced one of my girlfriends but she changes her mind every two weeks. So far she has been for Christie, Ksick, Cruz, Trump and now Rubio. By next week she will be back to Trump. LOL!

Admittedly, Marco Rubio has already demonstrated how he will unite the Republican Party, he will unite it with Chuck Schumer.

He will never unite me. All I see in him is Bill Clinton all over again. I will never cast a vote for him..

If you are happy watching America’s slow decline Rubio is your candidate.
