RUBIO “can’t tell a straight story on immigration.”
He’s offered a series of weak explanations . . . largely centered around the fact that he now knows we have to implement enforcement first, because that’s the only thing that’ll work politically — which is not a particularly principled statement, and suggests that, if Congress sent a bill to his desk with a legalization program, he’d say, “hey, I was wrong; it is politically possible to have legalization first,” and get out his pen. . . .
If voters don’t trust him on immigration, then they just don’t trust him. And if he’s not smart enough to give a satistfactory, believable answer on the topic, he’s just not smart enough, period. . . .
Yes, I know other candidates are either pro-amnesty (Bush) or are furiously denying their prior support (Cruz, reportedly). But what gets me about Rubio is how incompetently he’s managing his flip-flop.
If only he could be more effective at misleading people about his intentions!
