Rubio says he will seek Senate re-election, reversing course
Fox News ^ | June 22,2016

Posted on 06/22/2016 8:14:52 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Former Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio reversed course Wednesday and said he will seek re-election to the Senate, telling Fox News: “I changed my mind.”

The decision, widely expected among his Florida Republican colleagues, follows repeated claims during the GOP presidential primary race that he would not run again for Senate.

Rubio for months had spoken about his frustrations with the Senate, in explaining his original decision to run for the presidency only – and defending himself against criticism for missed votes.

But he told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Wednesday while he’s “frustrated” with the Senate, it is “also a place where you can serve your constituents” and “hopefully be able to still move on some major issues.”

Further, he said the “deepest reason” he’s running is, “I think no matter who wins this presidential election, the Senate’s role of being able to act as a check and balance on bad ideas from the president I think [is] going to matter more in 2017 than they perhaps ever have in our history.”

He said he’s bored as a Senator. So he’ll collect his $200k salary for three years and seek the presidency again in 2019.

By fragging Trump in 2016. Bad news for Trump here. Quisling Rubio will make sure to keep all the primary nonsense going in a key battleground state. Again today he green lighted this treasonous fragging. This can’t help Trump at all.

He probably never meant to quite his cushy job, one that he refused to perform. Or, considering he could not even carry his own state, he wants to make sure it goes to a Democrat supporting amnesty?

He figured-out he would be off the WDC gravy train of public money to his pocket. I guess no one would hire him in real life so he’ll try to fool voters again. What a complete loser and parasite.

Seeking re-election and being re-elected are two different things
