(5,528 posts)It seems the term "buy" into my agenda is a poor choice of words.
Appropriate sure but probably not what he meant to communicate.

(1,353 posts)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.

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

(82,849 posts)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.
