The end of Marco Rubio


Schumer, Durbin, Menendez, Bennet, Graham, Flake McCain, Rubio...who didn't belong here.

There was such promise with the election of Marco Rubio. He came from literally nothing, challenging a sitting (notional) Republican governor, beat him in the primary and again in the general election when Christ somehow became an independent (later an open Democrat). He was right on the issues, calling for the repeal of Obamacare, limits on government and securing the border before any pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.

But something happened on the way to the presidency. Yes, he was presented as the key note speaker at the 2012 Republican Convention, a sign he's being groomed for bigger and better things. The facet he was selected by the RINOs in the party leadership should have given pause. He gave the response to B Hussein Obama's State of the Union speech in January to the ridiculous criticism of taking too many sips of water.

Now he's working to pass the amnesty bill that will destroy the Republican Party he comes from, as well as destroy the nation as we know it. It will put tens of millions of new leftists voters into the electorate who will gladly vote for more benefits (i.e. for Democrats). Low skilled/no skilled workers will be an overall drain on the economy but they will provide something B Hussein Obama finds critical. The need for a permanent underclass. The Democrats are the party of big government (to a much greater degree than the Republicans) and for that, you need a large group of voters who can be relied on to vote for more. To paraphrase an old saying "Anyone robbing America to pay Mexico can always count on the support of Mexico."
So why did Rubio jump onto this? Maybe the powers that be in the Republican Party told him "You want to run for President, you need our support and money and our supporters in big business want the cheap labor." Or maybe this is the real Rubio. Or maybe he honestly had a change of heart. But if so, I wonder if it's looking around and asking "If I'm a young up and comer, why am I surrounded by these mostly old white men?...Do I really belong here" I guess Rubio has answered the question yes and he's cut his own wrist. He may win the nomination (God know the Republicans can always pull defeat from the jaws of victory.) but without the base he will never win the general election. And he's dead to them now.

Sorry to see Rubio kill himself off like this. I hope Allen West challenges him in 2016 so the Republicans can support a real conservative in FL.

UPDATE: From this previous post.  Here is Senator Rubio trying to jusify his push for amnesty.  I hate to say it, he's either a liar or a fool
