Senator Marco Rubio will win the Florida GOP Senate primary, CNN projected Tuesday night.

The races of a pair of other incumbent lawmakers facing primaries -- GOP Sen. John McCain and Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- have yet to be projected, the network said....

I'm glad to see Marco win.  After Walker and Perry, he was my leading choice to take on Hillary this Fall.

He must shake his head watching Trump essentially appropriate his immigration position - for which he was viciously vilified by Trump and his alt-Right goon supporters at places like FR and Breitbart during the Primary.

This can't be! He said he was going into the private sector and get a real job. Politicians never lie so I am dubious about this story.

Marco hated that job, now he wants it back.

Granted Rubio's opponents were far, far worse than he (on the surface), however, I think he was offered some sort of deal.  Two very conservative candidates who had vacated their seats in the House were competing for his seat and when Marco decided to run again, they stopped their campaigns immediately.  Another example of a huge push to end conservatism.  I say this because I find it odd that Rubio lost big in the primaries, dropped out and hopped back in eliminating the conservatives.

No.  Still don't trust Marco at all.  The real contest remains to be seen.  Will he win against the DEMS?  My hunch is he's going to lose.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my county to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Honestly, when you look at how Trump's views on illegal immigration has slowly "evolved", I see very little difference between his stance and Rubio's.
