RSSMarco Rubio Announces He is Running For President in 2016 … “I Can Lead This Country” … Calls Hillary Clinton “a Leader from Yesterday” … Yesterday is Over and we Are Never Going Back”
MARCO RUBIO IS IN …
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) made it official, in a speech at Miami’s Freedom Tower, Marco Rubio announced his 2016 presidential run. Rubio stressed a fresh approach to the future, telling supporters that “yesterday is over and we’re never going back.” The 43 year old Republican Florida Senator is all in and he has quite the story of only in America to tell We the People. As the son of poor Cuban immigrants, Marco Rubio spoke of The American Dream.
Both of my parents were born to poor families in Cuba. After his mother died when he was nine, my father left school to go work. My mother was one of seven girls raised by a disabled father who struggled to provide for his family.
When they were young, my parents had big dreams for themselves. But because they were not born into wealth or power, their future was destined to be defined by their past. So in 1956 they came here, to the one place on earth where the aspirations of people like them could be more than just dreams.
My father became a bartender. My mother a cashier, a maid and a Kmart stock clerk. They never made it big. But they were successful. Two immigrants with little money or education found stable jobs, owned a home, retired with security and gave all four of their children a life far better than their own.
My parents achieved what came to be known as the American Dream. But now, too many Americans are starting to doubt whether achieving that dream is still possible:
Notice how you never hear Rubio or his supporters say that a reason to vote for him is to be the first Hispanic president or the first Cuban-American one? It’s about the dream, the American dream that he wants every American to have and to pay back America for all that he has received.
More from Marco Rubio’s speech and his views for the future, not living or governing in the past.
Because while our people and economy are pushing the boundaries of the 21st century, too many of our leaders and their ideas are stuck in the twentieth century.
They are busy looking backward, so they do not see how jobs and prosperity today depend on our ability to compete in a global economy. So our leaders put us at a disadvantage by taxing, borrowing and regulating like it’s 1999.
They look for solutions in yesterday, so they don’t see that good-paying modern jobs require different skills and more education than the past. They blindly support an outdated higher education system that is too expensive and inaccessible to those who need it most.
And they have forgotten that when America fails to lead, global chaos inevitably follows, so they appease our enemies, betray our allies and weaken our military.[...]
Just yesterday, a leader from yesterday began a campaign for President by promising to take us back to yesterday.
But yesterday is over, and we are never going back. We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future. Before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of America.
We can’t do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them.
That is why today, grounded by the lessons of our history, and inspired by the promise of our future, I announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.
But can Marco Rubio win, he better because he is not running for both Senate and the President? If he loses, he is out of politics. Although I have to believe that if he does not get the GOP nomination, he would be on the short list for VP.

When all is said and done … an alleged “conservative” candidate must be vetted to assure “We the People” that his/her past voting record/actions reveals that he/she does not only talks the conservative talk but also walkED the walk … assure “We the People” that in the past six years the he/she did not betray conservatives by furthering Barack Obama’s Marxist/ Islamic/ racist agenda to transform America..
TED CRUZ AT CPAC: ‘DEMAND ACTION, NOT TALK’ FROM CANDIDATES

According to Ted Cruz … talking the Conservative talk means nothing if vetting reveals a candidate is not walking the walk.

Ted Cruz – February, 2015
“When have you stood up and when have you bled for conservative principles?”
“What have you accomplished? As Scripture says, you shall know them by their fruits. So if a candidate says they oppose Obamacare, we should ask show me where you stood up and fought against it.”
“If a candidate says they oppose the debt ceiling and the debt that’s crushing our kids and grandkids, we should ask show me where you’ve stood up to stop it. If a candidate says they support the First Amendment or free speech or liberty, if a candidate says they support the Second Amendment—the right to keep and bear arms—we should say show me where you’ve stood up and fought to protect them.”
“If a candidate says they oppose President Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional executive amnesty, we should say show me where you’ve stood up and fought it. If a candidate says they oppose Common Core, we should say show me where you’ve stood up and fought against it. If a candidate says they stand with the Nation of Israel, if a candidate says they will oppose and stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapon capabilities, we should say show me where you’ve stood and fought. That’s how we distinguish.”

Rubio’s betrayal of conservatives when he joined that gang of eight still has me reeling. I didn’t see it coming.
Rubio talked the Conservative talk on immigration and … “WE THE PEOPLE” raised him up and … then betrayal happened. In other words … Rubio did not walk the walk. He furthered Obama’s promised transformation of America.

REMINDER
Marco Rubio, 2009
“I am strongly against amnesty. The most important thing we need to do is enforce our existing laws. We have existing immigration laws that are not being adequately enforced. Nothing will make it harder to enforce the existing laws, if you reward people who broke them. It demoralizes people who are going through the legal process, its a very clear signal of why go through the legal process, if you can accomplish the same thing if you go through the illegal process. And number two, if demoralizes the people enforcing the laws. I am not, and I will never support any effort to grant blanket legalization/amnesty to folks who have entered, stayed in this country illegally.”

Matthew 7:15-17
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.”

THE MARCO RUBIO FLIP FLOP
Considerthe above 2009 Marco Rubio statement re his position on illegal immigration and then consider the following. Akin to other RINOS in both the Congress and the Senate … it appears that Rubio beautifully articulates the Conservative talk but does not walk that walk when it counts.
Rubio-Obama immigration plan? Senator’s proposal looks like White House policy
01/16/2013
The White House has said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s immigration plans, which could legalize the status of some of those unlawfully in the country, “bode well for a productive, bipartisan debate.”
A reason for that optimism: Rubio’s ideas and comments closely mirror those of President Obama in a 2011 policy speech in El Paso Texas. Not only do Rubio and Obama’s plans create a similar type of amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, the two politicians have used similar language. …..

In the first place, Marco Rubio is constitutionally ineligible for the office of POTUS due to his parents being non-citizens when he was born.
Rubio is a flip-flopper with only one thing in mind and that is furthering his political career. He showed his true intentions when he joined John McCaine, Chuck Schumer et al, in the Gang of Eight immigration reform effort.
