Barone sez “Rubio or [Cruz] would be as bound by their current positions [on immig. as] Trump.” Seems v-wrong to me washingtonexaminer.com/gop-debate-sho…

@kausmickey @marcorubio wasn’t held to his views once elected to Sen. Turned on a dime, joined Gof8. Why trust as POTUS?
@kausmickey Maybe we should ask Jimmy Carter.
@kausmickey less wrong if GOP holds Senate.
@kausmickey Except it would take an A-team of lawyers, Talmudic scholars and lexicographers to figure out what their current positions are.
@kausmickey you think the guy who jokes he could shoot someone, who has long history of taking opposite position, is going to feel bound?
@kausmickey yeah right; same way Rubio was bound to the Tea Party people that elected him; his amnesty bill passed was payback to supporters
.@kausmickey Rubio wasn’t bound by the positions he took in 2010. @MichaelBarone either doesn’t know history or thinks his readers don’t.
@kausmickey @Glaivester Jobs FOR Americans requires that the immigrants must go.
@kausmickey In Cold War, when Communists became radical socialists, it was tough to imagine they’d stay changed once the revolution came.
@kausmickey In Louisiana, when David Duke ran for governor as a conservative, it was tough to believe that he’d really changed.
@kausmickey Unless an extremist does a full-blown Arthur Koestler or a Hugo Black, it’s stupid to believe them when conversion = necessity.
