Don’t forget all the Rubio double-crosses occurred as a politician in the political arena. He has an established wretched political past. Now he wants to be president and I would argue to continue is past practices. He is certain to have open borders/amnesty at the top of his agenda. He has never disavowed his Gang of Eight legislation. All he insinuated was that it was badly timed and the people didn’t want it, not that it was wrong for the country.
