It's also very likely that he's the alter ego of one of the posters in this very thread. Or, depending on regdates, that one of this thread's posters is his alter ego.

It's the Cuba thing that makes me hate him most. He seems 85% reasonable except for the fact that the continued suffering of the Cuban people due to the U.S. embargo seems to give him a yooge and luxurious boner.

I suppose it's better that than Trump, who would hate them for having to audacity to speak something other than English.

Let's not forget Rubio is also in favour of a full on abortion ban. No rape exception, nor for the life of the mother.

You might want to drop a few percentage points there.

Maybe 85% was a little high. I'm not saying I agree with him on 85% of things, just that his views aren't outright crazy.

For what it's worth, I think a no-exception abortion ban is more logically consistent than supporting a ban with the common exceptions. It's still a godawful opinion to hold, but ultimately if you actually feel that a fetus is a human life and to terminate it is murder, I don't see how you could justify abortion in any case but those in which both the mother and fetus would die. I'm as pro-choice as they come, but at least the folks who support a full ban aren't supporting an act they consider tantamount to murder out of political expediency in addition to holding a lovely, hateful opinion.

No one is paying attention to anyone but Trump, and the amazing thing about him is that he has so many people interested at this point.

The only point to talking about Hillary at this point was to talk about Sanders, but the $hillary crowd makes that into a neverending five minute hate now.
