Rubio spent $80k of his own money carelessly. That’s a minor problem, one that raises concerns on whether he would spend responsibly in office, but not a big issue. If they want to get people excited, they should talk about the $7 trillion of our children’s and grandchildren’s money that Obama has wasted so far.
Rubio’s problems are that he is both a proven liar and and racist.
From the beginning of his political career the smarmy poser promised open borders to Spanish speaking audiences, while at the same time promising English speaking audiences that the border must be secured. Both types of speeches wound up on streaming video and there were many threads discussing this at the time. I was on a lot of them.
Now , aside from the in your face dishonesty that displayed, there is contained therein another large moral and ethical failure quite apart from the blatant lying.
He had no business addressing racial supremacist groups as a conservative. No matter what race they promote.
You don’t give speeches to the KKK.
You don’t give speeches to Aryan Nation.
You don’t give speeches to The Black Panthers.
You don’t give speeches to La Raza.
The idiots defending this panderer in ideolog’s clothing haven’t tried to defend why he was speaking to LA Raza...because they can’t. Instead they have tried to ignore it as if it weren’t there. It is there, and it’s a deal breaker. Conservatives don’t grant legitimacy to racial supremacy organizations like La Raza.
Rubio doesn’t just have a problem.
He is a problem.
No matter how flowery a speech he can deliver.
What the hell is “careless” about buying a nice boat if you can afford it? If I could afford a sweet a*s 80 thousand dollar boat I would buy one. It’s his money, he spent a 10th of a book advance on a boat and that offends someone? F them. They’re probably jealous.
