I have not trusted Rubio for awhile now. I remember thinking that he was going to be a great conservative for the Repubs. Then a few years ago (no more than 2) I saw him on TV along with the governor of Puerto Rico. Rubio said the man was a close personal friend. I can’t remember now what it was but some of the statements Rubio made during that interview raised some big concerns in my mind. He was already sounding like he was fudging on several important issues. Time has proven me right, sadly.
There were a lot of little clues like that about Rubio early on. Little incidents like his stuttering reply over Brewer and the AZ law, or a repeated cold-shoulder given towards tea-party events, or the cozying up to McCain. There was even one curious incident where he didn’t stick around and stand on stage with Palin after appearing at some FL event. A lot of little isolated things, each of which could be individually dismissed as happenstance or an upset tummy or whatever... but after a while they really started adding up.
Even though he still had a cheering squad, I was pretty convinced he was a two-faced hack politician. But wow, it is amazing, the sheer level of blatant, duplicitous LYING he’s been doing, selling Obama/Schumer’s amnesty agenda. I have nothing but total contempt for him.
