why isn’t this a problem to be handled by the Republican Party of Florida?
Would Jebbites still run the FL GOP—and so would this be their way of ‘handling’ it?
It was. These charges were paid by Rubio. If they didn't have a problem with it why should anyone else? Paid at the end of the month. Check out by an ethics panel. No problem. Not taxpayer money.
It would seem that the Florida Republican Party wasn’t particularly interested in opening up their books on how certain folks used Party CC.
“As speaker of the Florida House, Rubio was one of about a half-dozen lawmakers given Republican Party of Florida credit cards. During the Senate race, the Times/Herald obtained Rubio’s statements from 2006 and 2007, showing he routinely charged personal expenses, from a $10.50 movie ticket to a four-day, $10,000 family reunion.”
This CC thing tied into Rubio’s general financial challenges in his personal life ... make Rubio less than a stellar choice to lead the charge to reduce the deficit. Kind of a perception issue. And then there’s the whole gang of 8 open borders thing w/ Rubio.
Rubio ... not my choice ... but I still think that GOPe will try to find some way to salvage Rubio or Bush ... with the goal of winning Florida in the general. I’m thinking Rubio does get past the CC issue.
