New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lashed out at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Tuesday for missing votes in the Senate.
Speaking at a town-hall event in Iowa, Christie singled out Rubio for missing a vote on the $1.8 trillion end-of-the-year spending bill and tax package.
Rubio said he opposed the bill and late in the process threatened to block it, but ultimately missed the vote because he was campaigning for president.

Now, Cruz or Paul or even Sanders is a different story....
The fat man should talk. As the governor of Jersey he’s been AWOL since he announced for POTUS spending countless hours on the campaign trail. Rubio has a big problem being AWOL in the Senate for important votes. Goes to show you why we need big changes/ Trump and or Cruz are the only answer.
In fairness to Christie, you can effectively run a state remotely with today’s technology. However in Rubio’s case, showing up to vote on bills is the key requirement of his job and he has failed his constituents. He should be removed from office for job abandonment.
NJ has a Lt. Governor.
Personally, all of The Cheap Labor Express candidates are less dangerous if they don’t show up for work......
Why..why....why have the Republicans not learned that they should COMMUNICATE THEIR policies and positions and go after the Democrat opposition???
he does show up to work....for the GOPE
Governors have a definite campaign advantage in that so many of their functions can be handled remotely, no physical presence required.
Why be fair to Christie? Trump has trademark on “In All Fairness.”
Rubio to Christie - ‘Dude, lay off the Knish.’
There can be no losers in this dustup.
Good point.
No worries. We will get Trump his royalties.
The Cabana Boy has already stated publically that he’s “tired” of the Senate. Isn’t it then a proper question to pose to him, as to just how quickly he’d “get tired” of being President?
Christie has been running around the country before Romney was nominated. He’s never in the state.
