Sen. Marco Rubio warns Trump a border emergency could embolden a future Dem president on climate

President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency over border security is a slippery slope, GOP Sen. Marco Rubio told CNBC on Wednesday.

The Florida Republican contended Trump was elected on the promise of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and the president has to “keep that promise.” But “we have to be careful about endorsing broad uses of executive power,” he added. “I’m not prepared to endorse that right now.”

Trump declaring a national emergency would set a precedent, Rubio said. “If today, the national emergency is border security ... tomorrow the national emergency might be climate change.”

so please trump please please go for it....

I still am shocked from time to time when Marco tried to wear his statesman hat. It won't change a single vote of his (or position preventing a vote) away from Trump but always causes me a double-take.

climate change is/will be someday a GLOBAL Emergency, partly because people like Trump, Rubio, et. al have been focused more on keeping former Presidents from doing anything about it and focusing on distractions like The Wall.

There is wide open oceans above Canada now where it used to be solid ice. That ice REFLECTS the sun back out. Now the Earth just absorbs the sun like a blacktop parking lot.

Right because the fake border crisis where undocumented immigration is at a decades low is totally analogous to burning up the entire planet... brilliant Marco...

Oh and by the way Marco you are wasting your breath because Trump doesn't fucking care what any future president does, nor does he care about the ideology behind immigration or climate change... he only cares about Trump.
