    InstituteforSoundPublicPolicy.ORG's Joe Guzzardi on whether Donald
    Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National

    | History's lesson: Florida Senator Marco Rubio got a rude awakening
    | to the long-term consequences of a Schumer connection. In 2013, only
    | his second full year in office, Rubio was one of four GOP Senators
    | who teamed up with four Democrats including Schumer to pass the
    | disastrous immigration "Gang of Eight" bill, never taken up by the
    | House. Rubio's betrayal shocked Florida's Republicans. In 2015,
    | Rubio was one of 17 GOP announced presidential candidates. When the
    | crucial Florida primary time rolled around in March 2016, Rubio
    | needed a win over Donald Trump to remain viable. But Florida's
    | voters didn't forget Rubio's duplicity and overwhelmingly cast their
    | ballots for Trump, 46% to 27%. Once considered a frontrunner,
    | Rubio's presidential aspirations ended that night.

    Will Trump re-hire Amy Swonger to negotiate his legislative agenda
    with Mitch McConnell's Senate.GOV and Mike Johnson's House.GOV and
    is the Cheap Labor Lobby receptive to Trump's pitch?
