Make sure Rubio has plenty of water when it comes time for the Presidential Debates, we know he gets really thirsty when he has to talk.

How the hell you can vote for this guy??

I'd rather vote for Bernie.
I've noticed a lot of Trump supporters have Sanders as their second choice. That says a lot about Trump, namely that he's a horrible option for President and really a Democrat.

Bernie Sanders knows that in order to have all these free good social programs of his, you cannot have an open border at the same time.


He is crazy, but not that crazy.

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

Do Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio Think We Can Raise Defense Spending Even More Without Cutting Elsewhere?

The one who refuses to address spending problem is the TRUE RINO, TRUE RINOS love to accuse others of being "just another democrat" lol

Bernie is surprisingly strong on border and immigration.

TBH there is no 3rd candidate that wants to secure border.

Options are tight

Marco Rubio might not be Brad Pitt but compared to those two he probably is.

Cruz: “Madam President, today is a sad day, for the first time I checked myself in the mirror"

I've been saying for a while that it's probably going to be him or Kasich.

I don't think there is an ideal candidate on the Republican side (or either side really) but once the obvious NOs are out of the way those two seem the most likely to appear electable in the general while still not pissing off the base too much.

Bernie who? Not this one: Bernie Sanders: When you said that, I didn't think it sounded right. We have one "pathway" for them and that is back to their country of origin with what they thought were their little anchors!

What is wrong with this picture? How much experience did kennedy have when he was elected. How many realize prior to being elected Senator, Rubio was speaker of the house in Florida. Or I think I have that right?
I'm from Florida Marco Rubio has been around for a while.

I used to hate him because he panders to the Cuban Exile crazies which are some of the most annoying people on earth. I voted against him and when he became a senator. After that election he changed his "keep the Cuban embargo" agenda to "let's have Amnesty and help the "Dreamers"

That was a bad move on his part. Obviously he was pandering to the Mexicans, preparing himself to the next president. What he didn't know was that conservatives had other plans and they were gonna make this election about illegal immigration.

In Bush's case it doesn't matter because he has always been a moderate, he has been consistent. Rubio was a Tea Party favorite and many democrats hate him for that.

Wonder if Rubio supporters care that he skips out on a lot of votes on the Senate floor? Like the Planned Parenthood vote yesterday?

He's just posturing for the presidential bid. Hiding the truth from the American people and beholden to the RNC and the GOP 'brand' (his own words 'brand').

He ain't the best but the second best.

Others are all weak on immigration.
