I once hoped Marco Rubio represented the future of the Republican party, and more important, American conservatism. Now, after his puerile behavior and increasingly vocal — if not slavish or unqualified — support for
Donald Trump, that hope is dashed.
Donald Trump, that hope is dashed.
I didn’t ignore others’ misgivings about his lack of experience, though arguably it rivaled Ted Cruz’s. I was and am still willing to forgive him for his role in the Gang of Eight; I support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and recognize that Rubio was never actually for 'open borders.'
But now I admit that those who warned about his poor judgment and apparent opportunism seem to have identified persistent flaws that led to his downfall...
