It will be a little easier with Rubio gone.

Gee. Trump will have a pen and a phone just like Obama. Maybe he won’t need Congress?

The reason establishment republicans are doing so badly is for the following reason.

Rubio and his clan are all about making the possible impossible which is depressing.

Trump is about making the impossible possible which is America.

Very simple to understand.

The Trump Doctrine

A nation without borders is not a nation.

A nation without laws is not a nation.

A nation that does not take care of its citizens is not a nation.

--------

I wonder what part of that doctrine Senator Rubio finds impossible to put in place.

Pi$$ off, Rubio.

You’re nothing but an amnesty shill for the Florida sugar and citrus big-monied interests, and the U.S. Chamber of Amnesty, you phony TEA Party candidate.

“I haven’t read his plan; from what I’ve seen from press reports ...”

Who’s press reports? Glenn Beck’s?

“I haven’t read it...”

But from what the Cheap Labor Express tells me. It’s DOA.

I copied the Trump plan word-for-word and formatted it with HTML to make it (IMO) easier to read and understand.

He said he has not read the plan...this is not Nancy Pelosi and its not 1,000’s of pages long. I understand the whole thing is five pages.
Rubio needs to think about what he will be doing after the election because he won’t be our US Senator in Florida.

“But [the rest] doesn't sound like something that has any chance to pass Congress.”

Since most of Trump's plan involves using existing laws and authorizations of congress, I'm not exactly sure what Congress would do to stop it - is Rubio going on the record saying he'll work in the senate to repeal existing laws?

Oh, and is it just me, or just maybe a TINY bit premature for one presidential candidate to say to another presidential candidate that your plan has no chance of getting through congress when the universal response from the talking heads in the media AND in his party that Trump has no chance of winning.. Chalk up a tiny victory for Trump in having Rubio effectively say that he believes that Trump has a fair chance of winning now.

Rubio doesn’t understand a president Trump doesn’t need to make/write new laws on immigration.

If Trump got elected on that issue alone, WHO in Congress is going to stand in the way to block ‘funding’ to enforce existing laws?
