Senator Marco Rubio is once again making friends, and ticking off others, everywhere he goes, this time it’s in South Carolina.
During his speech at this week’s “Faith and Freedom” barbeque fundraiser for a prominent conservative GOP member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Jeff Duncan, ‘El Senador’ from Florida was heckled by a group of “Dreamers,” who felt Rubio turned his back on them.The protesters, and the rest of the pro-illegal immigrant lobby, apparently feels that Rubio has abandoned his pro-amnesty for illegal immigrant immigration reform position of 2013.
How can we all forget Rubio’s full-throated support and co-sponsoring of the highly unpopular “Gang of 8” Senate immigration reform bill, which for the junior Senator from Florida, has turned out to be a huge political screw up.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Since the bill, Rubio (as I predicted) has begun to back-peddle on the issue, calling for a “piece-meal” approach to immigration reform, and all not his “once-size-fits-all” Senate amnesty bill.
Thank God.
After the “Dreamer” amigos were escorted out of the venue where the event was being held, but not after the GOP faithful ‘pushed them along’ as they were being booted out, did Rubio continue his speech.“We are a sovereign country that deserves to have immigration laws,” Rubio said. “You’re doing harm to your own cause because you don’t have a right to illegally immigrate to the United States.”-Peter Hamby, CNN
Rubio mainly focused on throwing foreign policy red meat at the diehard South Carolina conservatives.
I’ll say it again, Rubio will run for President in 2016. Then again, I may be proven wrong, but all signs, and what I may or may not know about his possible intentions to run for higher offer, has nudged me to make that prediction, again.
If (or when) Rubio makes the leap to run for Presidente of the United States, and as Rep. Duncan said, Rubio he will have to revisit South Carolina and explain why he co-sponsored the Senate immigration bill.
If Rubio runs, he wins the GOP presidential nomination. That is my call.
