If Rubio would finish his current Senaorial term, and really turn his act around and show that he knows he screwed up with the Gang of 8 thing and became a true conservative in deed...he might be a player again in a few years.
As it is...if he rides this horse and pony show down in flames...he likely to ensure that he will not ever get elected to major office there again.
His plan ‘b’ is to run for Florida governor in two years. Hard to say if they will buy off on his approach. And I’m wondering what the competition will be like.
If this guy had done some real work, and had a real resume...maybe around age 50, he would have appealed to more people. Besides President Obama....Rubio’s resume is about as weak as you can get.
You echo my sentiments exactly. I’m very willing to give anyone a second chance. If Rubio wants to disavow Gang of Eight, he needs to get back into the Senate and show me through actions that what we’ve seen previously has given way to maturity and commitment to what got him elected in the first place.
If you are supporting Trump, how could that be a concern of yours?
But the problem is, he’s already shown that his conservatism is an act. That cannot be undone. Down the road, no matter how sincere he presents his conservatism, even in deed, it will be irrelevant because he’s already let slip that he’s a phony. That’s not something that’s going to just change overnight, if ever. You don’t, one morning, just wake up and become trustworthy all of a sudden. You don’t one morning wake up and become sincere, when you’ve been a phony all your adult life.
Damned nice to see a cooler head perspective on the state of things. Thanks for the pings, and your well reasoned commentary, Jeff.
I personally think we’re at the Rockman stage of Oblio’s journey, yet, for the first time in many years feel a path toward a future that I won’t be ashamed to have helped create for my kids. It’s all that matters to me. God bless.
He has to support amnesty because that’s who brought him to the dance.
Rubio has committed political suicide. As Trump has said, he couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Florida today. That latest act of his to take down Trump was the most stupid thing I have ever seen. It was like he was buzzed up on something on the debate stage. He acted like a high school wise cracker who joked around, laughed and made up criticisms about Trump’s hands, Trump’s debate make up,, Trump pissing in his pants, etc. Now, that will go down as a presidential campaign lightweight, juvenile act for the ages. He has certainly made a name for himself.
You're right - Rubio can turn this thing around but not on a dime... He needs to put in the time... Good observation Jeff.
That wouldn't be a bad thing, IMO .... going down in flames that is.
