Reid calls on Rubio to resign

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid tore into Sen. Marco Rubio on Thursday, calling on the Florida Republican and 2016 presidential contender to resign his Senate seat as he racks up no-shows on his voting record while campaigning for the White House.

"Why shouldn't he [resign]? He hates the Senate," Reid said in an interview with POLITICO on Thursday. "Why should the taxpayers of this country and people of Florida put up with having only one senator? Doesn't seem fair to me."

Rubio's opponents - both Democrats and Republicans - have attacked the senator for his declining attendance record. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, one of Rubio's home-state newspapers, has called on Rubio to give up his seat, and Jeb Bush also seized on Rubio's missed votes during Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate - although the former Florida governor's attacks were largely seen as having backfired.

A Trump/Cruz supporter here - and I agree with you. It’s time we circled the wagons around our guys - like the RATS do.

I think this is Reid trying to get us to like Rubio because he knows how much we all hate Reid.

I’m not falling for it.

Seems like Trump was the first one to point this out weeks ago. Wonder why it’s just now getting traction

I hate Reid and not exactly crazy about Rubio, but I didn’t hear Reid criticizing Obama for his present or no show votes during his campaign.

Reid should resign. There are so many crooks in the Senate, he won’t be missed.

I don’t think Marco is up to that type of “influence”.

Did Reid call for Obama to resign when he racked up no-shows on votes?

BC Rubio is being touted by the media after the debate. So they target him.

As Jeb’s campaign swirls the bowl, the liberal Republican hierarchy needs a new sacrificial lamb to push on gullible Republican voters. Harry is just helping out.

“Dingy Harry should resign and get a room with Boner..”

Actually, I’d like for Harry’s older brother to pay him another “visit!” Harry still has one good eye! You remember Harry’s older brother, his name is Rubber Exercise Machine Strap Reid. Odd name, but he sure packs a punch!

Other than Rubio’s horrific stance on amnesty, I think he is rather strongly conservative on most issues. That Gang of 8 did him in.
