You can trust Rubio, but I won’t.

As long as he doesn't make more serious mistakes, I could consider him again after the 2016 election. I think everbody deserves at least one break to redeem themselves for a prior error, but not ad infinitum. Maybe Rubio's primary consideration was Romney's disastrous share of the vote from Latinos in 2012, but I don't know that's true or not.

N.D., your point is reasonable and well-taken; and I can agree if, and only if, Mister Rubio has changed his stance on amnesty for illegal aliens.

(In all fairness, it may have happened, and I just never caught it.)

I hear you brother. But let me quote a rather famous FReeper, ahem:

All politicians are scoundrels until proven otherwise. Once proven, they must make periodic installments of proof lest they be re-labeled a scoundrel.

RE: “Maybe Rubio’s primary consideration was Romney's disastrous share of the vote from Latinos in 2012.”

Maybe he should have read some political history?

Romney - urged enforcement of existing laws - 27% of Hispanic vote in 2012.

McCain - sponsored the Bush-McCain Amnesty Bill in 2006 - 31% of Hispanic vote in 2008.

GHWBush - Avidly supported the Reagan Amnesty in 1986 - 30% of Hispanic vote in 1988.

Susana Martinez - Republican governor of New Mexico - a former Democrat - has Mexican ancestry on both sides of her family - 39% of Hispanic vote in 2010.
