There was considerable mockery after former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) spectacularly failed to name a single Rubio accomplishment when he endorsed Rubio a few weeks ago, but it eventually died down.
Then, Nevada Congressman Rep. Cresent Hardy ran into the same problem this week. On this weeks Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace (who previously laid waste to Rubios small list of accomplishments) asked Rubio why his surrogates cant name a single accomplishment, and Rubios response was just stunning:
WALLACE: Senator, why cant officials who support you, who come out to endorse you, name a specific accomplishment of your time in the Senate?
RUBIO: Well, in fairness to these folks, right, theyre signing up at the last second. Theyre inspired by our message. They want to be a part of our team. We havent provided them, you know, all this information. Im more than happy to tell you about my record. Im very proud of it.
WALLACE: Incidentally, maybe you ought to start doing that, huh?
RUBIO: For example, we passed sanctions yes, well, we are, and we do, but we, obviously, you cant make people read something. And these are last minute things. Its not fair to them.
You read that right, folks, Marco Rubio is blasting Marco Rubio for unfairly asking people to endorse him without providing them a list of his accomplishments, or forcing them to read it. Amazing.
If someone on his campaign thought this up, they should be fired. If this was Rubio calling an audible, then I guess we can dispel with the fiction that Marco Rubio knows what hes doing.

“He is standing up to Trump. That’s a considerable accomplishment.”
You sure do have a low threshold for what constitutes “standing up!”
Rubio has gone from the low road to the gutter, IMO.
Wait’ll Dondi’s mom finds out he’s sleeping with an ex-cheerleader... :)
“He is standing up to Trump.”
Yes, Little Marco’s hilarious penis routine knocked him down 5 points in national polling since the debate. So I guess losing 5 points that quickly can be considered an accomplishment.
Yeah, an off-the-cuff comment about the size of Trump’s manhood is such a principled conservative stand. Next I fully expect him to claim Trump has skidmarks in his boxers. That’ll show ‘em!
I’m voting for Cruz on 5 March but otherwise I’d vote for Rubio. I’m unaware of and unconcerned about any comments about Trump’s whatever.
Rubio is America’s Merkel.
A very Custer-esque stand indeedy.
He was Merkelish before being Merkelish was uncool.
Rubio was popped by fat boi ....
Which explains his support perfectly.
Are we really that close to the end of the game? Well, yes if tomorrow is the blowout that is expected. Then we will be setting the stage and selling seats for Trump U vs Hillary Penitentiary.
Whoa, Longest Yard flashback!
LOL
Both of those quotes will show up on opposition ads.
Rubio experiences poll shrinkage.
LOL
He did accomplish getting amnesty thru the Senate only to stall in the House. Foamboy has that hanging around his neck.
That is so stupid... The entire link to Wallace’s question and Rubio’s answer wasn’t even played. I watched the replay of Wallace’s program at 6 last night and Rubio mentioned quite a few items that he had been involved with in the Senate AND truthfully laid out that not much got done in the Senate because of Harry Reid. I’m not a supporter of Rubio but I am tired of people jumping off the cliff over one or two sentences. This has been more the norm here lately.
For anyone interested in more than a sound bite, watch the entire video:

Let's be fair to Senor Amnesty, the list of his positive accomplishments are at least as long as Hussein 0bama's, or Hillary's.
/s
I know...I don’t...No one else...does either...know...
Come now. Rubio actually showed up to the Senate a few times, surely that alone makes him Presidential material!
‘He is standing up to Trump.’
So that is the current euphemism for telling gay bathhouse jokes.
