[Christie at the beach]

I already know Rubio from Florida politics. Met him several times. The Tea Party was instrumental in getting him elected. It's very true. When most of the liberal media here in South Florida pounded him about his excessive spending habits while using the state's charge card for his own personal uses; among a few other things, those attacks hurt him badly. The TP groups walked the neighborhoods for him, stayed long hours on the phones for him, giving out fliers, getting supporters to rallies on and on / giving donations so he could run local ads. You know, like supporters helping Toomey- now look what's he done to those same Pennsylvanians.

He has made his choice to go Gop-e. He used the TP; now he's in with the good ole boys it seems. He's likable so they used him to get to the people they need (open your minds, we need reforms) True, but not this Schumer bill. For awhile, I thought Rubio was being set up, so Jeb could be the one set in motion. Jeb Bush practically ran Bush's 2nd term as Rove was defending himself in that Valerie Plame/CIA leak case; fearing jail. Rove was even missing daily meetings at the WH. I really believe Jeb was in the middle standing in. We see what he can do. I hope they do not push Jeb on us now Rubio is pushing amnesty forgiveness. I know we need to redo our immigration but not this bill with those lobbyists' groups getting what they want.

Christie, if the amnesty bill goes thru it won’t matter who the Pubs run.

There will never be another Pub president or legislative body. Not that the Pubs are all that great.

If this happens, I mourn the loss of our country.
