But Adelson’s support is heavily conditioned on his main priorities: a warmongering foreign policy, amnesty, and outlawing internet gambling.
Where does Rubio stand on those issues?
On the foreign policy front, Rubio has been eager to continued the failed policies of regime change in the Middle East. He got his wish in Libya and Egypt and now wants to continue the pattern in Syria. This is the guy who said of Iraq that: “Well, it’s not nation-building. We are assisting them in building their nation.” For good measure, Rubio recently stated his openness to shooting down Russian jets, a major plus for those who feel we haven’t had a world war recently enough.
On the immigration front, Rubio helped craft the Gang of 8 bill which offered citizenship to illegals, which he later recanted. However, in 2015 he again came out in favor of a pathway to citizenship. Rubio also supports Obama’s executive amnesty. Oh, and he says different things to Hispanic audiences.
Finally, Rubio signed onto a bill to outlaw internet gambling. Of course, Adelson opposes internet gambling because it competes with his brick-and-mortar casino business. It’s particularly pathetic that the “conservative” Rubio would override the right of states to make gambling rules in order to please a fat-cat donor.
