^Is that acceptable to you?

Also, he is pushing hard for a huge increase in H1-B visas. He is doing this despite the fact the H1-B visa is being used to lay off Americans and replace them with visa holders. That visa was never created for that purpose. Instead, it was created to use visa holders when no American can be found to do the job.

In recent times, he has waffled on these issues. However, should he get the presidency, he will go back to supporting that horrible bill and increasing H1-B visas.
As I've told you before, Rubio didn't even SUPPORT the Gang of 8 bill, so it's hard to say he's responsible for that. Keep in mind, it was a bi-partisan bill. Do you think the Democrats on the panel would advocate for anything BUT amnesty?

Exactly. He's only the favorite because Jeb tanked and he's the only GOP'er with a glimmer of a chance.

Hillary Clinton has more experience than Rubio at running anything...her problem is she doesn't do it well enough to amass any accomplishments. So, what a sorry choice: Gang of 8 No Accomplishments Irresponsible Rubio versus Please Don't Call Me at 3:00A and Tell Me Your Embassy Is Under Attack No Accomplishments Clinton.

Every month we have yet another “most electable” candidate. They fed us the same crap the last two times with McCain and Romney. We were warned we had no chance if we went with the crazies. You know what? This time we want to go with the “crazies” and leave the most electable to you.

Trump isn't a serious candidate. Stop doing Hillary's work for her.

Trump +400 (not Trump -600)
Cruz +650 (not Cruz -1350)
Bush +700 (-1500)
Carson +1100 (-2300)

What the money says:

1) Rubio is the favorite, despite only 10% in polls.
2) Trump taken seriously, but not favored.
3) Carson has far less chance than polls indicate.
Ummm no. Not going to happen. Terribly weak on immigration
