Marco Rubio is a U.S. senator. And he just can’t stand it anymore.
“I don’t know that ‘hate’ is the right word,” Rubio said in an interview. “I’m frustrated.”
This year, as Rubio runs for president, he has cast the Senate — the very place that cemented him as a national politician — as a place he’s given up on, after less than one term. It’s too slow. Too rule-bound. So Rubio, 42, has decided not to run for his seat again. It’s the White House or bust.
“That’s why I’m missing votes. Because I am leaving the Senate. I am not running for reelection,” Rubio said in the last Republican debate, after Donald Trump had mocked him for his unusual number of absences during Senate votes.

He’s got the same problem Jorge Pee has. Took the job and doesn’t show up for work.
So if he gets in the Oval Office and thinks it sucks we’re just without a President? Bad mojo and terrible for Republican brand in Florida.
Is the fix in?
Perhaps he’s not worried about quitting the Senate because the same people (no insult intended to genuine human kind) who convinced him to join the gang of eight, have now promised him all the financial backing he needs as well as voting machines with a predetermined outcome.
Well, well Mr. Rubio is showing us just how irresponsible he is. Who’s to say he gets to the point he hates the Presidency, and decides to short his responsibilities there as well.
We don’t need such whimsy in our leadership.
I hope people catch the drift of what this clown is saying with this statement. He’s saying he’s too immature for the job. Right out of his own mouth.
Poor baby couldn’t give away our country........
Yes he was, and Sarah Palin was one his major supporters.
As many have, he repeated the oath but has forgotten just what was entailed and expected of him to keep same oath. Words have meaning to some, but not all. And pundits, elites criticized Sarah when she bowed out of the Governor’s chair? Where is the clucking when the Rube continues to carry Senator label but is no longer a member of the team? A waste of human flesh, a total waste.
It’s been known to work before.
What a turd. We in FL have a useless Democrat Senator and now we find that our Republican Senator (Rubio) is taking money to run for President and doesn’t want to rep Florida anymore.
So was Mark Levin.
And I voted for him too.
All I can say in my defense is that he lied to me. You think you are doing the right thing, but all you did was get had like a sucker. Really pisses me off.
But what really gets my goat is when people like Hannity, Levin or Rush still try to push this liar as if he is not a liar.
I suppose if I had to work at the Senate I’d hate it too. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Yes it is. But this is the mindset that career politicians have. They have never been in the private sector - the real world, where you only move up through merit and performance.
I recently got promoted to a high level position at my job but had I taken the approach towards my previous job as Rubio, not only would I not have the job I sought but I'd be fired.
If he is not attending to the job he was hired for he should quit NOW. It’s horrible to have run for the seat, then to leave his constituents unrepresented because, boo freakin hoo, he does’t like it. Quit already. Let someone who might actually represent Floridians take the seat.
Just curious. I spell it RINO Republican In Name Only. What is the H in RHINO?
My bet is that they will not push him after this chickens!t move.
Are we Rome or what? Senators not representing people, candidates that are going to outdo Obama. Nowhere are the people in this equation.
