Jim, Jim, Jim...You’re a helluva writer but c’mon. I was born at night but not last night. If Rubio can’t be trusted to secure the borders, then he can’t be trusted on anything else.

Sorry, but no sale. If Rubio’s nominated I’m staying home.

Club for Growth says it all. Rubio is a lying crumb for sale to the highest bidder

========================================================= "The Club for Growth said earlier this year they were bundling campaign donations for five candidates: Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rubio, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (who dropped out), and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush"...

Sorry, Geraghty, but no sale.

If the country is flooded with tens of millions of more immigrants, it’s game over. It won’t matter how many pro-2nd amendment bills they voted for, how many bloated budgets they voted against, or how many leftist judges they opposed.

We may not be invited to the high-falutin’ cocktail parties you are, but we’ve got this one figured out.

How is Rubio going to criticize Hillary for the disaster in Libya when he supported it?

Translation: Since your mind is made up in advance, you really do not wish to be troubled by the mere facts...

Translation: Facts are stubborn things, like Rubio being a full-fledged Amnesty Whore! That automatically disallows him from being conservative.

According to very serious groups keeping score he’s only 98% to 100% conservative.

If you need others to convince voters that you’re conservative, chances are you’re not.

What would the current editors of National Review know about conservatives and conservatism?

He has also said he will not undo Obama’s illegal executive order granting amnesty. At least not until Congress passes an amnesty bill.

Despite infuriating many grassroots conservatives by pushing the failed Gang of Eight immigration-reform bill and advocating a path to legalization...

And this is the problem. Sorry, no sale.
.........................................................
And there never, ever will be a sale. The lying turncoat was elected through our hard work and the minute he attained his goal, he threw his lot in with a bunch of traitors gang of eight proving what he supposedly stood for was nothing but a big fat lie.

I’m not carrying water for Rubio, but you should still make it appear that you’ve read the column before posting.
****************************************************************************

Well, I’ve read the entire article and there is absolutely NOTHING in it that can EVER take away the stain on Rubio’s soul that FOREVER will mark him as a LIAR. Or a “lying weasel” as Paladin2 puts it; although I personally prefer the term “lying rat” as weasels are hard-working predators.

Open borders? Amnesty? No, thank you. Not with my vote — against anybody. “Winning” with the GOPe is not winning.
