"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

skipping the vote to test the waters

A real GOP-e profile in courage.

[RKBA Democrat]

Looks like we know his priorities....

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Guess I’ll see if I can “miss voting” for Rubio for the same reason that he can just walk away from Senate votes.

“We already know it’s a loser, so why bother.”

Bullllll..........

[vmivol00]

Rubio only cares about Rubio. He is the definition of an empty suit.

[zeestephen]

Has Rubio publicly stated how he would vote if he was there?

[chris37]

I can’t wait to vote against you, Marky.

[trisham]

He’s wasting his time.

Just another coincidence, eh? Let’s see ... who was it who also skipped a lot of votes?

[Lady Heron]

So he helps dems. He voted.

[EXCH54FE]

Sen. Marco Rubio need to head on back home. We want / need Sen. Cruz !!

[kindred]

Rubio and other rinos of the GOP are pro amnesty and pro abortion and pro big government and pro homosexual marriage and other evils characterized by the left wing communist democrats who run cover for them. Screw Rubio and all rinos and democrats who support these measures. I will stay home if he wins the primary. Screw the GOP for not pulling the nuclear option gambit the leftist communists use. Man ooh man, I can no longer abide the DC communists dems and rinos.

[VideoDoctor]

Whatever occurs as an outcome of the vote Rubio will hide behind the fact he was UNABLE to be there to vote, and that, afterall, he didn't expect it to pass anyway.

Politics as USUAL folks. Rubio is, in effect saying.. I'm doing what I want to do NOT what the American people want me to do.

[Sirius Lee]

Rubio has conceded the race.

[dainbramaged]

Maybe Jeb wants him for the VP slot.
