Rubio's closet has more skeletons than Harryhausen's Jason and the Argonauts.

I don’t think this will have much impact at all.

Why am I not shocked? The more I see of the little twerp at the debates the more I can’t stand him.

Cruz is my guy, but I really don’t see a problem with this. All Rubio did was write a letter, which was in the public domain. There was nothing below board or shady about the way he helped out his brother-in-law. One can question whether he should have helped him at all, but the conviction was 13 years old at that point, and a real estate license is pretty small potatoes.

There is something Clintonesque about Rubio.

Rubio was mentored by Jeb Bush. Cronyism runs deep in the Bush clan, so Rubio learned from one of the experts in backdoor deals and political backslapping.

I've actually started to dislike Rubio even more than Jeb, since everyone with half a brain knows what Jeb is all about, but Rubio manages to fool some decent people into thinking he's an acceptable alternative.

So Rubio’s qualifications: Corruption, adultery, misuse of public funds, shady real estate deals, and maybe even drug dealing with his family and others. The perfect GOPe candidate.

If only Rubio were around in the good old days in Mena, Arkansas, he'd fit right in. Bill Clinton and George HW Bush are still laughing all the way to the bank with their cuts of the operation, no doubt.

didn’t mention he was brother in law. didn’t care that he held sway over the deciding department’s budget.

15 million in cocaine in a garage a few miles from his family’s house.

a little sketchy.

never found the 15 million .
