He won't do either of those things, and he'll tow the line as hard as anyone (rape babies unite!) but it isn't going to do him any good in South Carolina, where if he finishes in the top three I will eat a map of the United States.

Those things are called 'hispanic outreach' and it's the whole reason he's there. They have to give the hispanic community something in order to get votes. He's not gonna jump up and say "hell yeah let's build a wall twice as big as Donald Trump's". He can't. The republican party took a hard slant to the right straight out of the gate and Rubio is going to get trampled when he stops to remind people that hispanics are human beings, so I doubt you'll have to eat a map.

Well, luckily, that's what's going to happen.

They're going to try, you mean. They've poisoned the well against hispanics. Rubio is going to come just shy of getting lynched by his own party members. On top of that, Republican voters don't want to hear the party line, because the party loving sucks. They said they were gonna get rid of Obamacare - nope. Can't impeach him. Nothing out of Benghazi. The economy still sucks. The establishment doesn't realize that the voters are rejecting them, and the puppets they put up are too transparent.

Two things left out is he's in a swing state that matters for the general election so being appealing to Democrats and moderates is a good thing.
He's also a Cuban American, which especially in Florida makes him 'one of the good ones' so not at as big a disadvantage for being a minority.

The Republican Party in the US has the weird thing with minorities, especially latinos. The party leadership realizes demographic wise they need to court them, but a lot of their core voters are whitebread racist fucks. So the party needs to do a weird tap dance of stirring up fear for the brown horde while also convincing the latinos to come be their friend.

Well Donald Trump crashed the gently caress out of your tap dance and that poo poo's basically over as long as sheriff Trump is in town

do you really think this is true? have trouble imagining there is a sizable number of americans that care about gay marriage that would go rep if only they were democrat lite on social issues.

Much like the inroads to hispanic voters, it is now and always was a pipe dream.

Debate & Discussion: You Are Racist > Your Candiate Sucks >Well first Let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing; he's undergoing a systematic effort to change this country and make America more like the rest of the world. If I'm elected we'll embrace what makes America the greatest country in the world.
