Listening to Rubio Speak at the CNN Town Hall Meeeintg

glad to hear him speak in opposition of the absurd idea that we need to arm our teachers. And he actually seems genuinely concerned over this issue. Certainly he can not come out and speak out in favor of banning assault rifles if he expects to keep his job, but he has been one of the few sane voices on the right with regard to this issue. I gained a lot of respect for him tonight. He is one for the few bright stars in the GOP.

Who, in his pursuit for a political career, has had to align himself with complete #########. And he's hearing about it tonight.

I would probably do the same for 225k and millions in wining and dining slush money.

It feels like he chose what he thought would be the fastest route to office.
I say that without any real evidence to support my claim. Just a feeling.

Do you know many Cuban Americans?

I've spent a good deal of time in South Florida and have the pleasure of knowing a lot of them.
Lemme tell you, most of them I've met make me look like Rachel Maddow. They're usually extremely conservative. They also seem to be quite open about adhering to a "Hispanic Hierarchy", where they're at the top of the totem pole. It might be why they often seem to vote against what looks like their own Hispanic interests.

I stuck out like a turd in a punch bowl, but I still love the area.
It is funny though, they have this self-derived almost caste system. If you want your eye blackened, ask a Cuban if they're from Mexico. If you want your life at risk, ask if they're from Central America. It's the kind of stuff I never gave a second thought about, but the differences are huge to them.

My good friends wife is from Colombia. She's straight up cut you if you ask if she's Cuban or Mexican. And certain don't misspell Colombia with a U like that ######## in the middle of SC.

there is some truth in that. But I do not think it is the majority.

man. The kid who asked him if he'd take more NRA money was particularly difficult for him and his answer was not very good.
But he showed up and that took guts.
