Yeah, sure they did. lol

Both of the last two elections they trotted out what they felt was a "moderate" who had the best chance of beating the Obama "juggernaut" and both times it blew up in their faces. You would think that they would try something different this time, but who the fuck knows.

Personally I don't think it's Rubio's time yet. I think the GOP was spot on with their criticism of Obama where it came to experience. He had never run ANYTHING before getting elected to run the country, and that inexperience was painfully evident to at least some of us, and I think he was a piss poor POTUS. I don't see the GOP wanting to run their own "wunderkind" this soon after Obama.  

Personally, as a betting man, I am predicting that it's going to come down between Walker and Bush. Walker being the "real" conservative, and Bush having a thousand times more charisma than either his father or brother, the Bush political machine behind him, and the added advantage of being able to play to the latinos.  I think Cruz will fade away as being too polarizing and lacking completely in the charisma department, Trump is a buffoon, as is Huckabee and most of the rest of the "clown car" as the lefties like to call it.

I do believe that Rubio has a definite future, I just don't think it's his time yet.

He said to the dreamers "in another country you would be in jail".   Really ?   In another country the Cuban's parents would have been put on the same raft and sent back to where they came from.

These hypocrites are fun to watch and listen

and your focus on his ancestry.

Where were your parents or grandparents or ancestors from?

Unless you identify as a Native American from one of the many indigineous tribes still alive in this country, you need to apply the same damned label to yourself.  

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Marco Rubio, but you and the rest of your crew need to stop with this fucking bullshit of labeling candidates in the manner you have chosen. It serves no useful purpose.

You want to argue his qualifications based on his track record, great. Bring up his immigration stance and argue against it. Bring up his record as an acolyte and apprentice to Jeb Bush, and I'm right there with you. You can even dredge up his staunch pro-Israel stance and claim he is pandering to Adelson, and I wont disagree with you (full disclosure, I AM stridently pro-Israel, and definitely approve of Sheldon Adelson's support of Israel)

Rubio is an American. Just like you.  

You're playing the exact same sleazy ass bullshit card as the fucking birthers did on Obama.
You're just framing it in a more conniving and subtle manner.
Which makes you no less the hypocrite than those you denigrate.

He is a Cuban, born to parents who came here illegally like the dreamers he was insulting.
