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.”

Let me remind you that Trump whipped his ass like a deaf mule IN HIS OWN STATE!! I dislike this phony. He faced total unemployment. He is poor as a church mouse anyway. He looked at the option of selling used cars and opted for political bribes for favors. I think it is pathetic.. Rubio has no shame. He is the “Cuban John Kerry”. Trump will wipe him out again!!~ TRAITOR!!!

I thought of voting for Beruff until I did a little research. He says he’s not a politician but he’s a Crist confidante who was appointed by Crist to 3 political positions. That plus the fact that the polls have him losing to Murphy by double digits and even to Grayson by 7 persuaded me he’s not the guy for the job.

He will not EVER get my vote here in FL.

Surely he’s got to know he how much he is disliked.

As someone pointed out earlier, his decision to re enter the race may well be tied into planned shenanigans @ the RNC next month. We shall see....

But this I know. This amnesty-loving, work-ethic challenged empty suit needs to find another line of “work”.

No.

Speaking as a certain to vote, Florida registered voter, Rubio remains burnt toast.

I will vote for his opponent, no matter the party.

We all know who Rubio is, now.

Kick him out and keep him out!

I thought Jolly dropped out; & conservative Ron DeSantis is the other major R candidate.

Marco wasn’t fooled by anyone. The treachery you were seeing was the real Marco. Marco was killing bills dealing with illegal immigration when he was still Speaker of the Florida House.

Yeah, Jolly (a Lawyer) is back in to fight Crist. My Sister went to Jolly for help once, and was treated with indifference and disrespect. IMHO Jolly is out for Jolly and only really cares about his own political future and power. As for DeSantis (another Lawyer) all I see is another neocon.

Beruff is a successful businessman. On his website he sounds like Trump with "Put America First" on his logo.

He's also pledged to spend $15 million of his own money. As for hobnobbing with Crist who cares? Crist was Gov and I'm sure Beruff had to grease his palms a few times just like Trump did with them.

Overall, I'm sick and tired of crooked Lawyers who turn into crooked politicians. Let the business people take the reins and ride.

The only excuse anyone has for voting for this gay robot is if he gets pitted against Alan Grayson in the general. Anyone who votes for the gay robot in the primary is guilty of treason.
