It seems the term "buy" into my agenda is a poor choice of words.

Appropriate sure but probably not what he meant to communicate.

Rubio is probably regretting coming but I'll give him only an ounce of credit for coming. Rubio is trying to be seen as a good guy, but no one is letting him off the hook.

Corporations and Fringe Groups Can $$$ (Buy) Marco Rubio By $$$ (Cashing) Into His "Agenda".

That sounded like some straight up BS. Go, Cameron for exposing Rubio's highest bidder for sale ass.

We might just be seeing the end of "having it both ways" on firearms. Rubio would like to keep taking NRA cash and pose as a concerned lawmaker, but it appears he's going to have to make a choice, or one will be made for him based on his actions and not his words.

Bummer, Marco.

still has to be voted on by the House & Senate and be signed by Trump. Rubio is functioning tonight under the cover of the NRA's hold on the rest of Congress.

and he says the same thing. The money they get doesn't affect how they vote, the entities that give campaign contributions just *know* how they will vote and support that.
