Right on point. They’re pushing Rubio like they pushed Bush, Fiorina, Kasich, etc.
Biggest difference with Rubio is Rush’s support. Heart-breaking.
A trained talker, absolutely worthless for anything else.
The man cannot handle $$, which leaves him bought and paid for! Marco Rubio is BAD with money! His net worth is less than mine and I never earned a tenth of the $$ he has!

UP FOR SALE!!
RUBIO doesnât do what he is paid to do and vote. He holds the all time record for AWOL in the Senate!!! ALL TIME!!
According to GovTrack, an independent congressional monitor that tracks the voting records of all congressional offices in the Capitol, Rubio is consistently at the top end in terms of missed votes. In 2014, a year before he even announced his presidential campaign, Rubio was in the Top 15, missing 45 out of the 657 Senate votes taken that year ââ¬â an abstention rate of 6.8%. His record has gotten exponentially worse this year: since January 2015, Rubio has missed an estimated 32% of the votes that the Senate has held (91 out 283 on record as of October 25). In fact, from July to September alone, he missed more than half (53.8 %), giving him the embarrassing distinction of having the second-worst voting attendance during that period.
One of these missed votes included the final passage of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act: the legislation that authorizes programs and policy for the U.S. military and Defense Department for the coming fiscal year. In short, a man who is basing a good chunk of his presidential campaign on foreign policy and national security missed one of the most important national security votes Congress took this year.

Rubio is a little Snot!
ANOTHER ISSUE:
IRS complaint filed over Rubio-boosting secret-donor group
WASHINGTON (AP) A Washington watchdog group filed a complaint Tuesday with the IRS about a secret-donor nonprofit organization that is spending millions of dollars on commercials to boost Marco Rubio’s 2016 prospects.
Conservative Solutions Project has aired pro-Rubio TV ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, in addition to sending mail to voters in those early presidential primary states.
The group spent about $6 million on two batches of broadcast and cable TV ads and had planned to spend another $2 million on satellite television, The Associated Press reported earlier this month.
That activity piqued the interest of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a political spending watchdog known as CREW. The group argued in a complaint to the IRS that Conservative Solutions is operating primarily to help elect Rubio and is therefore breaking the law.
“This is an abuse of the nonprofit status,” said Noah Bookbinder, director of CREW. “They are collecting money secretly for political purposes, which you should not be able to do and in fact we believe that you are not legally able to do.”
Unlike campaigns and groups known as super PACs, nonprofit organizations are allowed to keep their donors secret. In exchange for that privilege, tax law requires that they stick primarily to nonpolitical activities...
I think Rubio may be the one, but not for the reasons stated here. I started out as a Walker/Carson guy. I was prepared to make my peace with Trump, but his talk about getting along with Pelosi/Reed/Schumer, and the need to “get together and get things done” confirms my fears. He is not a conservative. I live in California, and this looks like Schwarzenegger redux to me. If I could anoint the next President it would be Cruz. I share all the concerns/frustrations/ anger with Rubio. I don’t buy into the “electability” argument re Cruz. You take your case to the People. But, I think that the GOPe has more than enough steam left in them to successfully sabotage a Cruz election. C’mon, you know that rat B*stards will do it without thinking twice. Ask Ken Cucinelli if they’re stupid and vicious enough to do it. That’s why I’m thinking about making peace with Rubio. Haven’t done it yet, but...

STILL ANOTHER ISSUE:
RECORDS SHOW MARCO RUBIO SPENT THOUSANDS WITH GOP CREDIT CARD
U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio charged grocery bills, repairs to the family minivan and purchases from a wine store less than a mile from his West Miami home to the Republican Party of Florida while he was speaker of the Florida House, according to records obtained by the St. Petersburg Times/Miami Herald.
Rubio said Wednesday that he paid for all personal expenses billed to an American Express card given to him by the party to use from 2005 to 2008, when he left public office. The rest of the charges, he said, were legitimate party expenses.
Those expenses include a $1,000 charge at Braman Honda in Miami for repairs to the family car in January 2008. Rubio said the minivan was damaged by parking attendants at a political function and that the party agreed to cover half of his insurance deductible. The party also paid $2,976 for him to rent a car in Miami for five weeks.
The cited factors will not matter to the average voter in the general election. They are vitally important, of course, to hardcore Conservatives of the type found here in FR, but when the time comes for the general it simply boils down to a popularity contest. The reason Romney and McCain lost, when all was said and done, is that they simply did not catch the imagination (i.e. were as likable to the average shallow voter primed by the image-based mainstream media) as Obama was conveyed. It’s been that way since the Nixon-Kennedy race, and most voters are less intelligent and cognizant of the issues now than they were then. Let’s face it: at least half the US population never matured past high school.
Millions of us will not vote for ANY amnesty candidate
Rush, quit claiming he is conservative, dammit!!!

Parents: Mario and Oriales Rubio
Both parents Cuban.
Parents naturalized in 1975, four years after Marco was born.
Not eligible to run for President of the United States. "
If they shove Rubio at us, the 4 million who stayed home rather than vote for Romney will look like a drop in the bucket.
Many will decide to let the Chamber of Commerce experience Life With Bernie rather than pull the lever for another sellout.
The leftists are serious about 90% income and estate tax rates.
All they need is a few million more votes.
Too much “cheap labor” can be very expensive if you are a rich Republican.
Let’s not forget this one....Rubio voting for MORE Muslim immigration from terror states....doing his handlers bidding....Grover Norquist and Cesar Conda.
Dec. 4th...Rubio actually showed up to vote for this one!
Sens. Rubio, Graham Vote To Continue Muslim Immigration From Countries With Jihadist Movements
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2015/12/04/sens-rubio-graham-vote-continue-muslim-immigration-countries-jihadist-movements/
Interesting to me that the evil Republicans had a Hispanic/Canadian, a Hispanic, and a black guy in their Iowa top 4 and the “diverse” Dems had two old white people.
The evidence:the polls, which Donald Trump continually points to:
For example, the Star-Trib Mason/Dixon poll, Minnesota:
Trump vs. Clinton, --Clinton 43, Trump 38 ---Trump -5
Cruz vs. Clinton --Clinton 43, Cruz 45 ---Cruz +2
Rubio vs. Clinton --Rubio 49, Clinton 40 ---Rubio +9
Pick whatever number you want.
Other states show similar splits. And Trump is not going to do better "once people get to know him." That's crazy. He's a very weak and confused "conservative."
