Unfortunately that is the litmus test for many Republicans of today, similar to how opposing abortion was the seemingly all important litmus test back when W Bush ran in 2000. If you don't want to forcibly deport every single illegal immigrant than you are apparently "soft". Never mind the fact that workplace enforcement would be far more effective than building gigantic walls and having Gestapo like police state round ups.

nah, Rubio's problem is that he is not a very honest person.

Marco Rubio flip-flops on immigration, again and again.

In early 2013, he was a member of the bipartisan Senate “gang of eight” which unveiled a comprehensive bill to reform the nation’s immigration laws.

In October 2013, he completely backed away from his own bill, saying he believed a “piecemeal” approach would be more practical.

His shifts on immigration have contributed to an overall negative impression of him in crucial swing states, according to Latino Decisions.

It is LAUGHABLE that some low info voters (Republicans especially) believe Marco Rubio can win Hispanic votes.

Plus, how come he never addresses the issue of government over spending? !

By the way, Koch brothers summon Bush, Cruz, Walker, Rubio.

Thank you! The GOP would have us believe that about 80% of the public watches Fox.

with all that water he drinks probably keeps his skin moist.

And if he is a respectable Miami Cuban, he must use Mirta de Perales products:

I'd like to see state laws that one has to resign to run. We'd probably see fewer candidates in it for the fame if they had to risk something.

In all fairness, securing the border and enforcing the country's immigration law are all extremely important. But the biggest problem in this country is currency crisis, economy.

Government does not create jobs, it only destroys it. Federal reserve prints money out of thin air and with all these over spending on national defense, we can NEVER pay back creditors.

So the ones who don't address the issues of government over spending will NOT and should NOT get any of your vote (regardless you swing left or right)

The government won't save you or rescue you, you will experience big time inflation, economical crisis, and with all these open border, illegals, this country is not heading the right direction.

You better get yourself prepared if you get Hillary, Bush, Rubio, etc. and all these clowns.

You don't have to like Ron Paul, but listen to what he has to say about economy

Rubio is not your guy.

But then again, everybody has different opinion, especially when it comes to "good looks"

If you like him, vote for him. sheesh

and of course him being a dork is my opinion, am I saying I speak for everybody else? Jesus. God helps us all.

Disagree But his looks is really irrelevant.

What is his solution on government over spending?

How is he budgeting the spending and creating a balance?

How does he spend money we don't have on national defense without cutting other spending?

These are the issues I worry about.

And since none of you can stop talking about looks He is in his 40s, he is not a pretty boy. To me, pretty boy looks like him

(and his not a model or an actor, just somebody in real life.)

here is the photo,

to me, this is the pretty boy look. (pretty and tough) Not somebody in their 40s and still look so confused.


Let's forget about talking about Rubio's look already?
