They want Trump gone. Two dozen protesters are hoping Marco Rubio will lead the way
Miami Herald ^ | 1/31/17 | Monique O. Madan

With posters that read “Remove the POTUS,” about two dozen protesters gathered outside U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s office in Doral Tuesday and chanted “Stop Trump’s Swamp’s Cabinet,” as cars honked along Northwest 36th Street.

“To see a person of such little intellect in a leadership role and failing badly makes me sick; it makes us all fail,” said Palmetto Bay’s John Taylor, 73. “I am asking that Rubio make moves to remove [Trump]. Somebody has to step up and save this nation, save this democracy.”

Some posters read “How about appointees that actually qualified?” while others sported signs with the names “Rick Perry, Steve Mnuchin, Jeff Sessions, Scott Pruitt and Betsy DeVos” with a giant “X” crossed through them. All were nominated for cabinet positions by Trump.

Other signs said #NoWall #NoBan.

“We are here to hold our senator accountable, and to call him out to vote for his conscience before party and his personal interests,” said organizer Roberta Alba, who works with the local community organization Move Forward South Florida.

Rubio did not return phone calls from the Miami Herald on Tuesday. A Rubio spokesman emailed a statement to a Herald reporter later in the day: “The leftwing [sic] extremists at Move.On org and their paid protestors are entitled to express their opinions, and like all presidents, Trump is entitled to nominate his cabinet.’’

Also at the protest were about five Trump supporters.

“I am hoping to remind our senator to support our president and whatever endeavors he may have, to not become an obstructionist like the rest, for him to put our priorities in line,” said Alida Rivero of Miami. “Let’s get on with things.”

Alas, some creepy politicians do things they will never live down.

On the bright side, foam boy isn’t married to Trump’s right hand assistant.

Time to leak info about Marco’s past life at those all-male “foam” parties. He was very cute, you know.

Poor little snowflakes short and stout; here is my handle and here is my big mouth.

If they only knew how stupid they look... nope... that won’t work. Look at my tagline to see why.

Only to a homosexual female liberal; they don’t know what men are.

Rubio feels cocky having just survived the election - but if the election was next week, I believe strongly he would lose.

" “Stop Trump’s Swamp’s Cabinet.” That just rolls off the tongue. Marco should take them up on this. First step: switch parties "

I second that......an while he's switching, go ahead & switch genders.

Looks Like George Soros paid for some more astro turf groups in his bid to remove Trump. George better watch out or Trump’s new friend Putin might sneak him a Podium Sandwich.
