Rubio and trump get 3 from my family on Tuesday. Millions of us have not voted yet. I have friends who voted already for GOP telling me to go vote. I refuse to vote early. I love voting on the day. So exciting!

This is NOT the year to be voting RINOs out of the Senate. If the Democrats take the Senate then it will be judicial Armageddon even if Trump wins the Presidency.

Under the 20th Amendment, the new Congress takes office on January 3 but the new President does not take office until January 20. That means that if Trump is elected President and the Democrats retake the Senate, then Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer will have almost three weeks to push through ratification of all of Obama’s nominees from the Supreme Court down to the district courts and all of the federal agencies and there will not be a damned thing that Trump or the Republican minority will be able to do to stop it.

When Harry Reid unilaterally abolished the Senate filibuster for all Presidential appointments except for the Supreme Court the ONLY reason that he left Supreme Court filibusters alone is because there were no Supreme Court vacancies at the time. Chuckie Schumer will unilaterally abolish the Supreme Court filibuster 5 minutes after he takes office.

It gets worse. Scalia’s Supreme Court seat is not the only Supreme Court seat at issue. The day after the election, far-left octogenarian Justices Ginsburg and Breyer will announce their retirements if it means that Obama can fill those seats as well. They probably already have the young far-left wing radical replacements picked out. That will mean a far-left wing Supreme Court majority of Obama appointees will be legislating every aspect of our lives for the next 30 years.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

“democratic senate”

We’ve already got one. The eGOP is no better than the dems on these things.

Cruz: “Give us the Senate and we will repeal Obama Care.”

We did, he didn’t.

FU eGOP!!!

Whoever IJR is they are essentially correct. Rubio’s lead went from 25% down to 10% and has held steady.

Rubio will win, probably by 8%.

Voting for RINOS is what got us into this mess... I just can't vote for a RINO again, sorry. I won't vote Dem either.

I’m a FL Republican. I will vote for Trump but not for that weasel Rubio.

How can I vote for a dickweed who betrayed me, then laughed about it with that monstrosity shummer?

Well if we had 62 GOP senators ok but we may barely hold 50.

Look, I get it but...If you want a Trump Supreme court and Trump Circuit and appellate courts, if you want a Trump budget, if you want a Trump tax plan, you’ll do everything you can to maximize the number of R’s in the house and senate.

If Obama was able to ram his agenda through with a supposedly Republican Congress then Trump certainly can too. Trump's 10 times smarter than Obama is.

Obama was able to ram through his agenda (including Obamacare) during the first two years of his term, when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. He was able to continue to ram far left-wing judicial nominees through for the next four years while the Democrats still controlled the Senate.

If you want any legislation passed or Presidential appointments confirmed during the next two years without Chuckie Schumer’s permission then the Republicans need to hold on to the Senate.

Murphy isn’t running ads, Dem Senate committee has pulled all his money. Now local news is breaking about the money laundering into his campaign.

Don’t believe a word of this poll.

if you really pause and reflect rationally, 99% of the Obama legislative damage was done in the first 2 years when the Dems controlled the house and senate. Once the GOP got control back, there hasn;t been a single major Obama legislative victory, including not considering Scalia’s replacement to the supreme court. Trump needs a senate majority to make a serious impact.

Marco Rubio during the primaries via recorded phone message “Vote for me, because a vote for any other candidate is a vote for Donald Trump”

I really don’t want to vote for Rubio for senate, but I want to keep the seat away from Murphy. Any ideas?

Voted for Trump and although it was quite unpleasant, I voted for Rubio too, the thought of a Chuckie Schumer controlled Senate being too much to bear.

Rubio was a lousy senator. Why should the people of Florida re-elect him?

Because we don't want Patrick Murphy?
