I’m backing Rubio. . . . . . Not sure why, Probably because he’s “smooth”.

Sure he has accomplishments.
He ...
umm...

He would have voted “Present!” (just like Obama) if he had attended sessions.

That has t count for something.

That’s ok.

Most Cruz supports cant name any of the guy they support either....because there aren’t any.

This is a classic example of endorsing someone in hope of getting a job in the future.

Santorum could mention that Rubio has experience in his high school musicals playing what certainly appears to be fabulously gay roles. Or he could mention Marco’s arrest in a park where sodomites were known to frequent, being caught in a car with a guy who produces homosexual porno films, perhaps auditioning for one of those films?

That’s because ‘No Show Rubio’ doesn’t have any accomplishments.

This be fair no Senator can name an accomplishment. The Senate hasn’t done anything for years.

The GOP establishment pushing hard for Rubio right now you just received an endorsement from Matt Salmon which I heard on the radio. He basically had to misrepresent Rubio’s positions in order to justify his endorsement.

Hey Matt, you’re just another GOP establishment sell out.

Well, killing the Obamacare insurance subsidies is the biggest substantive blow that has been struck against Obamacare since it passed. Probably the only substantive blow, and certainly of far more value than the symbolic votes to repeal or defund. That was Rubio's initiative after he spotted the issue. That's actually a pretty big deal.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/428640/rubio-obamacare-direct-hit Rubio deserves serious credit for starting g to kick Obamacare into the death spiral.

He joined the gang of eight. That is an “accomplishment” to some people. Not any of us, but to some people.

Oops, Rick got tricked, but he is a good debater. Republican primary voters don’t require one to be a good debater to be nominated.

I can name one of Santorum’s Senate accomplishments — heading up the GOP Senate’s “K Street Project” in which he went around collecting checks from lobbyists to advance their agenda through the GOP Senate.

Marco counts it as an "accomplishment" when he makes it for a vote.

Looks like the GOP is in the tank for Hillary. Rubio is the weakest candidate of the top 3 and is easily defeated by Hillary just by talking about his stance on immigration: it won’t impact the Democrat base but it will suppress voter participation on the Republican side. Trump and even Cruz will pound the hell out of Hillary over Benghazi and her lack of qualifications. Rubio will not, and if he tries he’ll be beaten the same way that Hillary beat Rick Lazio in New York: by making Rubio out to being “mean”.

Rubio did lead Comprehensive Immigration through the committee and full Senate, where it passed. No matter how they try to weasel-word it, it was amnesty.

It died in the House.

Rubio hasn’t done much more in the Senate because he got bored that that august body was too slow and too deliberative and just not exciting.

If he did manage to get elected prez, how long before he gets bored there, too?

Well, no, for the same reason he can't (for example) name any brands of cookie that are actually made by elves.

I could answer that in three words: GANG OF 8 (and that failed)
