Pretty Boy has always sucked at managing his money, in contrast to Ted Cruz. Didn't Rubio’s sugar daddy pay monthly stipends to Rubio AND his wife to help cover their living expenses some time ago?
I wonder how he proposes to manage the nation's finances as president when he can't even manage his own?
Not running for reelection tells me that he knows hes a dead man walking in florida.Could explain all the sweating.
maybe because mexican pesos is worthless in donations
