This is a popular position to take and I will admit up front that I am a Cruz guy, but people keep calling Rubio a RINO. Outside of his amnesty debacle, he is a solid Conservative. He rates in the high 80’s to lower 90’s in the Conservative ratings put out every once in awhile.
I’d vote for Rubio if he was nominated...
yeah but the amnesty thing could cost US elections for years and years to come.I hear you on the conservative voting record. But something in my gut tells me he would allow amnesty.even legal status for this generation without the right to vote would give us a chance to influence the next generation 15 or 20 years from now. But blanket amnesty, that would just be too many votes to overcome. I dont know.
Do not rate anyone based only on reading posts on FR. Even Jeb Bush governed conservatively in Florida, judging by taxes, education results and judges appointed. Actually we have a bumper crop of conservatives in LEADING positions this time compared to 2012 & 2008. Except I wish all the retreads from 2012 would stay out of it (Huckabee & Santorum, both of whom will hurt Ted Cruz’s chances).
I agree with you. Some dont want to remember Rubio walked away and warned about Obamas plans. He shouldnt have got involved with McCain Burr Graham in the first place.
When the Florida primary comes along and Bush is still in the race I’ll have to vote for Rubio..instead of Cruz or Walker only because Florida is a winner take all and Cruz/Walker can still have time and room to make gains.
If Bush wins Florida he will be the nom. Plan and simple.
SC could be a bellwether state for Bush. Graham is the fav son sort of and would take away votes from Bush I think.
In any case we a have a long ways to go.
