Rubio on White House drama: "People got what they voted for"

[libertybele]

Oh, he got down on Trumps level. Somehow it's okay when Trump does it though.

I don't recall stating that Trump's behavior during the campaign was acceptable; in fact I have previously stated on several occasions quite the opposite.  For the record (again) I feel that Trump made a mockery of the electoral system and his actions and shenanigans at times were downright shameful; not becoming of a presidential candidate at all. Yes, little Marco stooped to his level.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Cruz merely stated that some of Trump's damage is self-inflicted.  Marco is taking a pot shot not only at the President, but those who vote for him.  Marco deserves the middle finger salute.

Knock it off, WTF!

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

Not sure that it's necessary, but thought I'd say that I gave money to Rubio for his FIRST Senate run as he was supposedly TEAParty.  All I'd give him now is a bird.

I contributed to him when his name recognition was in the single digits.  He was a viable alternative to Crist.  He been a bit of a disappointment, but then most of them are.  I'd like to get a better conservative in his place, but not as much as I'd like to replace Nelson (and again, not with Crist).

Awwww po widdle baby snowfwakes! Can't stand any criticism of Trump!
 

WTF.  Would you please make a point without being insulting.  Or is that all you have?  Libertybele made several valid points. 

[Sighlass]

Sorry, but Rubio said the truth. This IS what America elected. A dysfunctional mess. What do you expect Marco to say? That when Trump passes gas it is all roses?

Little Marco messed up royally with his gang of eight mess, and he never owned up to it. He basically denied and lied to conceal it in the debates.  But his voting record really wasn't too bad (Liberty rating of 74%) which is far better than most in congress. I could of held my nose and voted for him over the Hilldabeast. Out of 17 represenative with an "R" beside their name in Florida, he comes in 5th most conservative. Basically not a RINO but just a few pegs above it. We knew where he stood on most issues except when push came to shove on illegal immigration.

He plays it far to safe for me to really say he stands out from the crowd in Washington.

Wait, What?

Don't feign surprise.  Way back when Spy Magazine called Trump a 'short fingered vulgarian,' his complaint centered around his hand size.  He never argued the other point.

Thanks.  I'm still a bit confused, but that's OK.

[Oceander]

Yes, they did.

[INVAR]

As much as I do not care for Rubio, I do not know how anyone can disagree with what he said.

Trump supporters have told us repeatedly that everything happening with Trump is exactly what they voted for. 

So what is with all the whining?

Oh - I just had an epiphany!  He didn't say "winning", he said "whining".  We just misunderstood.

@INVAR
How can you disagree with what he said?    With him we voted for a conservative and we got gang of 8.   

He's exactly the kind of politician you purport to dislike.   Guess that only matters when its against Trump.

Allow me to clarify @driftdiver's answer for everyone.

Translation: 'Cuz we don't like him!

Explanation: If we don't like someone, they will never be able to utter a word of truth. This is why the only tool we have is to diss the messenger. Our technique gets the whole thread discussing the author or messenger and diverts attention away from whatever negative truths might be found in the news story. It works quite well, don't you think? 

BTW, this doesn't pertain just to @driftdiver's post. It's how to read all those replies that can only take the source to task as opposed to the actual content of what they say.

Reading comprehension.

Apparently it is a lost skill set among those who only function to serve defending a cult of personality.

[XenaLee]

That's exactly my experience as well. The "wait and see and hope for the best" is starting to wear me down. I hoped he'd realize the gravity of his position and rise to the occasion. So far, I'm not seeing what I'd hoped for. Keep praying.

Oh, I am.   We all are (in my circle).  While Trump has lots and lots of warts, flaws and defects.... the alternative to Trump last November was too dire to contemplate.  Especially after eight years of the Obamanation.   If nothing else (and I do mean nothing).... at least we don't have a card-carrying enemy of America in the White House now.  That's something (a lot, actually).

@INVAR
Oh cmon you dont get off that easy.  You've put yourself up on that marble pedastle proclaiming how you are rock solid on your belief and will not compromise.  How all other lesser humans are unworthy.

Now we find out that you will compromise if the subject says something negative about Trump.

Rubio had promise, but he made that deal.  He didn't learn then as he came back to immigration again and again.

He campaigns as a staunch conservative.  We didn't get what we voted for.

Please explain to me and the entire board how it is I am compromising my principles by agreeing with a statement that someone says that is truthful - even if I am not that enamored with the person?

If Rubio says "The sky is blue" should we automatically discount that statement and declare it a lie because he was a nefarious member of the Gang of 8??

Apparently you do.

Care to talk a little bit more about marble pedestals? Methinks you have a bit more experience being perched atop them than you will admit.

[EC]

I'm gonna disagree with Rubio. People (most, anyways) didn't get what they voted for.

They got what they were warned they were voting for, but they didn't believe the warning.
