You got to hand it to the Democrats...they got Toomey to compromise himself and he’s a one termer. That’s one seat pickup for the Dems in 3 years.
On immigration, they got Rubio to willingly sell out on one of the biggest hot buttons for the Republican base, and they eliminated their biggest threat for the 2016 White House race.
It is remarkable how G-D DUMB so many are on our side...even our brightest up-and-comers.
I think you captured the essence of this rather well.
Beyond the immediacy of his stupid act is the fact that he has so completely ruined any credibility going forward. What the hell was he thinking?!
All anyone on the right had to do was say, “OK, presupposing that you want to have a sincere discussion (ha-ha) on legislative options let’s talk. The only precondition is that ANYTHING that infringes our constitutional rights are off the table.”
Now he has revealed himself as one who would willingly sacrifice freedom for the illusion of safety. In other words a sheep. We have more than enough of those already.
“they got Toomey to compromise himself and he’s a one termer”
The same thing is going to happen to Rubio if he doesn’t get off the amnesty train.
Toomey will benefit from this, as he’s in a closely divided state that slides Demwit at least as often as not — and since it failed, it’s a have cake eat it too move. Rubio was already being condemned as a pro-amnesty RINO before this ‘Gang of Eight’ thing, and it will similarly not pass — either it will be heavily modified and slant to the left, or it will be amended to gut the open-ended provisions coveted by the left. And all the while, it hands Zero another defeat.
