    Crickets. While all the focus on Trump people miss a far worse candidate like Rubio.

    Rubio is bad. But he's not as bad as Trump.

    Marco Rubio is an idiot.

    Trump says a lot a baloney but he was right about Rubio when he called him "light weight", and said Rubio couldn't even answer the Question if Iraq war was a mistake or not.

    Very Informative thread. Neocon puppet Rubio is the worst of what's left of the Republicans.

    Clinton is far far worse than Rubio. Rubio loses Florida its going to be the Albatross around his neck.

    wrong. Rubio is toxic to America 100% That is why the globalists push him and the establishment is setting up a plan to nominate him....
    "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it."
    James Madison

    "It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

    He is not joking. Open borders is very important to him so it is logical choice for him to select someone like Rubio.

    Just what does he think is going to happen if the whole world eliminates borders? It won't be some libertarian paradise. The amount of government force required to maintain order would be the stuff of the worst dystopian novels.

    Between Trump, Rubio and Cruz there is not too much choice.
    SuperTuesday is going to be a wide open zoo that slamdunks
    down hard on one of these three. Bernie and Hillary may go at
    for months. I see the GOP being reduced to two lousy choices.

    Only because he already knew the outcome.

    Had his been the decisive vote, he would have voted with his donors, aganst the bill.

    Some of those votes don't look bad. Federal jobs training? Absolutely! Federal jobs are very important for my safety and security. It helps ensure competent federal government employees.

    Voted for federal child care? Sounds AWESOME! He's looking out for the future generations. What's wrong with that?

    I'm okay with the indefinite detention of CERTAIN Americans. If you don't have anything to hide, what are you afraid of? You're either with us, or with the terrorists.

    Voted against ENHANCED border security? Probably saved us some tax dollars on that one, by waiting until Trump gets Mexico to pay for the wall.
