I meant Mario Rubico, but he and Paul Rino are really the same political person, so it doesn’t matter.

Rubio has a primary coming up August 30.

These are his opponents: Carlos Beruf, Ernie Rivera, and Dwight Mark Anthony Young.

Dems hav: Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente, Reginald Luster, Alan Grayson, Patrick Murphy, and Pam Keith.

Even if he is a total jerk and he is, you must hold your nose and vote for Rubio, as we must keep the Senate, to get our nominees for the SCOTUS through it.

Are we sure?
There's a lot to be said about an anti-incumbent ticket, especially given that having a Republican controlled House (and Senate) has done nothing for us WRT ObamaCare, fiscal responsibility, government-overreach, or anything else that the Republican Party claims to be about… why should we reward their hatred of their base?

He had his opportunity to betray the citizens and should not be given another.

Rubio’s amnesty almost sank this nation.

We voters of VA-7 stopped it by Cantorizing the weasel Eric Cantor.

It’s a good thing he is not planning to run for President, he is not a natural born citizen, he is ineligible.

Hey Marco do you like to blow bubbles.

Well he’s back in town and he’s looking for you.

Rubio is a left wing democrat. Getting his talking points from the Bush clan, I suspect.

Yes we are sure; otherwise you are electing Trump just in order to screw him over and make it impossible for him to get anything done if we lose one of the houses of Congress. Think man. Think of the consequences of not voting for Pubs in all cases, even if a lot of them stink. It’s the only chance Trump has of getting anything passed, unless he too is then forced to use Executive Orders, just like Obama, to get anything done. You will be forcing Trump’s hand, all the while I am sure, hand wringing about the overuse of Executive Orders by a President. So hold your nose and vote Pub, and while doing so think about who gets on the SCOTUS while you’re at it if you don’t vote for the Pub.
