Rubio Can’t Cut It
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 6-18-2013 | Daniel Greenfield

Marco Rubio is likable. That likability is his chief asset. Even as he champions a wildly unpopular bill among his own base, his numbers remain high. It’s not just magic.

Rubio is everywhere. If you tune in to Univision, you can hear him promising legalization. If you watch FOX News, you’ll hear him express disappointment in his own bill, almost sounding as he might not vote for the very thing that he has staked his entire career on.

There are many Rubios. At times it seems as if there are as many Rubios as there are Obama. A flock of smiling men with neat black hair who can talk Tupac, the American dream and anything in between for as long as you want them too.

Anyone can have a Rubio and if you don’t like your Rubio, just send him back and in two to four weeks a new Rubio will arrive hoping to meet your expectations.

Who is the real Rubio? Is he the passionate conservative or a sharp Florida politician? Is he the man saying that border security comes before legalization to a conservative audience or the man saying that legalization comes before border security to an Hispanic audience?

The real Rubio isn’t likable. The real Rubio wants to be liked. The real Rubio is desperately insecure and desperate to please everyone at the same time. The real Rubio is in over his head.

A Rubio aide was quoted as saying that there are American workers who can’t cut it. That is no doubt true and Rubio is one of them. Marco Rubio moved up the ladder too fast. Too much was put on him too fast and he’s trying to juggle everything in the air without dropping his likability.

What does Marco Rubio stand for?

Anything you want him to.

Yup, this boy done jumped the shark. The only senator who sounds like a a really consistent conservative is Cruz, but even he sounds rehearsed for applause sometimes. Ben Carson, now there’s a guy I’ll be watching.

Amen Bro... or whoever... I turned off my cable tv, spending less time hearing the name Obama every 30 seconds.

RINORubio has become a very photogenic tool of the left.

Ergo: You will see him ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Yes, the American people in their lack of knowledge have put all powerful institutions in the hands of the Democrats. The Republicans haven’t lifted their little finger to begin the reversal of any of this.

The Republicans should nominated Jebbie/Hillary, and the Dems Hillary/Jebbie; that way there could be so real fireworks, and the American people would be comfortable knowing that their favorite pol will be either president or vice president. But “what difference would it make?”

This story is just plain false. There was a report two days ago that Rubio’s numbers were tanking big time.

Rubio will run as a Democrat for reelection. Republicans won't re-elect him. Independents won't support him. Only Democrats would even consider voting for him. He needs to get as many illegal aliens registered to vote as he can, to get elected to another term. Poor puppy eyes Rubio, he will pretend to be the victim of Republican racism or political trickery, when his worthless sorry ass is kicked to the curb! Because yeah, we all know integrity is race related, Right?

Unfortunately, he might not get "kicked to the curb". When he switches to the Democrat party, he will benefit from Obama's vote fraud machine. Obama has all but anointed him the presumed front-runner for the GOP nomination - thereby magnifying the impact of his defection (at least among the MSM-dependent LIVs). No doubt Obama has promised him a shot at the Democrat nomination. No doubt Rubio thinks that Obama plans to leave office in 2017.

That was a perfect description of Marco. Not ready for primetime.

Does anyone still think Rubio is trying to backpedal from his crusade for amnesty?

No way, Jose. Yesterday, Rubio's office issued a press release that (of all things!) lauds Bill O'Reilly for his support of amnesty.

If anyone saw the Bloviator's show the other night when he went all-out with outrageous reasons in favor of Rubio's and the Gang of Eight's efforts you'll know that both of these men are traitors and dangers to the social and economic safety of us, the American people.

Rubio, who has had every chance from us to disassociate himself from the Gang, the propaganda, the lies, the spin, the misdirection, the vileness of THE dishonest commercial, plus the very evilness of the proposed bill, is STILL in our faces, scheming, schmoozing, and conniving against us (while he praises the weasel O'Reilly).

Super Marco is now BEYOND redemption.

He must be primaried and banished along with his little dog, O'Reilly.

There's still a chance in the House. Dash off a brief note to your congressperson this weekend. It may be one of the most important letters in your life AND your family's.
