Marco Rubio has a history of producing mush for ads. A recent ad featured him tossing a football and talking about sports teams. And now he has produced an ad, about his father.
Rubio narrates an ad showing his father working long hours, working as a bartender. He says that his father worked hard so Rubio could run for president someday.
And that's it. That's the entire ad.
I get it. Rubio is trying to show he comes from humble roots.
But what about some content, about, you know, the candidate actually running for president? Would anyone vote for Rubio because his dad was a hardworking bartender? Does Marco Rubio have nothing else to say in a 60 second commercial about himself , why he wants to be president, what he's accomplished thus far?
He can't, because there's nothing. Not only has Rubio not accomplished anything since he came to Washington, but the one thing he has tried to do, to give blanket amnesty to illegal aliens, has been wildly unpopular. That's why his ad resembles a sentimental look back at Cheers. Rubio has nothing to talk about when it comes to himself.
His ad very creepily resembles one of Hillary Clinton's ads, where she spends the entire ad talking about her mother. Hillary had to do that because she has no positive record to run on, no accomplishments, only cover-ups and disasters. Like Rubio, she has to change the subject.
I think Rubio would be better served doing what he does best, memorizing a lot of foreign policy buzzwords and uttering them in his pseudo sagacious, ponderous tone. Here are some of his favorites: "reposition," "geopolitical course," "geopolitical catastrophe," "exploiting a vacuum," "reliable ally," "power broker," "NATO obligations," "apocalyptic vision of the future," "extraordinary dangerous times," "number one obligation," "bold action," "peace and stability," "principles governing exercise of power," "adhering to doctrine," "bipartisan tradition," and "smart power." Watch a little bit of him here and try to see if even he knows what he's talking about. Real people don't talk like this.
Of course, none of his buzzwords have the emotional power of Donald Trump saying simply that he is going to massively bomb ISIS to pieces. But that's why Donald Trump is #1 in the polls, and Rubio is #3 or #4.
Rubio is an amnesty pimp.
If you vote for an amnesty pimp you are voting for Death to America.
number 3 is even ridiculous. He’s more like number 2.
Someone should put out a counter-ad showing a man desperately looking over his bills while driving his luxury car or sporting his boat.
or using a government credit card for the multitude if things he used them for.
He was not content for senate because he NEEDS money or power.
Now.
If he doesn’t get the nomination, he will leave the senate, which he never cared about much to begin with, and go make a zillion dollars in law.
I wonder if that pretty wife is demanding or he just like to spend.
Shut up,Mario.
At least you grew up with a father. I didn’t.
I hate maudlin,poor-me behavior.
.
Ooops,maybe Mario will give Marco the message.
.
Years ago, when [Sean Hannity] was talking about the ice cream man (Marco Rubio)…I told you he would never get anywhere, and now he’s gone…remember I told you Rubio had no capacity to ever be president? How could people be so foolish to think that man ever had presidential timber?

On Rubio mindlessly regurgitating neocon talking points on Ukraine…
“Wow! Oh my God! Where have I heard that before!? I think I’ve read that 500 times now. So I see he got the cliff notes on the situation. “
Just saw Rubio’s foreign policy ad on Neal Calvuto. Reminds me of a high school student giving a speech in class. Who can vote for someone like that?
Everything Rubio says is rehearsed. The answers he gives in the debates are just talking points from his stump speech. Rubio had a 2.1 grade point average in college. He is really not terribly smart.

&&&&&&&&&&&&
Both
yeah, you’re right.
It seems to me that professional cheerleaders tend to marry rich guys.
Rubio is apparently not rich enough, though he had the potential.
He might have even been President if he hadn’t sided with illegal aliens.
You are right. And thank goodness he showed his true colors too early.
I didn’t think of it that way till just now.
The cheerleading thing is a puzzle, as I know many attractive women married to beasts.
Perhaps their looks AND popularity give them the edge.
It all ends in cheating with black men and beatings and murder and sadness in the end, like in that football movie with Dennis Quaid :)
