Joe Scarborough has denied having it in for Marco Rubio. But on today's Morning Joe, he went on an anti-Rubio rant so protracted that one segment wasn't enough to contain it. Scarborough first called Rubio the "Republican Obama," who's been marketed like a "bag of potato chips," and the "emptiest suit" in the campaign. After a commercial break, Scarborough hectored Rick Santorum, who has just endorsed Rubio, repeatedly challenging him to name Rubio's accomplishments.
By all means, let's carefully examine the record of all candidates. But for Scarborough to deny that, for whatever reason, he has a grudge against Rubio is a joke. Can anyone remember the last time Joe attacked Hillary or any other prominent Democrat with such sustained vitriol?

He’s not wrong.
Like Joe or not, he’s got a good point.
“Republican Obama.” I agree.
He was third on my list. I thnk he’s a squish and is in over his head running for president, but Trump and Cruz are determined to destroy each other and if they keep it up, then Rubio will be my choice.
Rubio is a R - K Street all the way. Pay no attention to what he says because it will change at the whim of his big donors. He’s been consistently pro-illegal going back to his FL days. Amnesty is a done deal should he be elected POTUS.
We don’t agree there. There’s something much better about Rubio. For starters, he broke away from Jeb and the dynasty when he ran for President. I really wouldn’t want Rubio out of there until Jeb and Kasich are gone.
Amnesty will be the end of the Republic, doesn’t matter who does it.
Blind squirrel...acorn.
Listen to Rubio. His "black hole" on the invasion of the US comes from somewhere honest, his culture and upbringing. He isn't talking about letting the invasion continue or undermining US citizens with cheap H1B labor.
I suspect that paired with someone who wants to stop the invasion of the US, he just might be a partner in coming up with something. Think back to the Gang of Eight. Rubio got played, in that he believed Schumer and McCain when they said that the invasion of the US would be stopped.
No, Rubio is not as bad as the other two. Kasich and Jeb have to go first, or we just might snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Rubio didn’t get played by Schumer, he has been pro-illegal since he was in FL.
You are being played.
Which organizations are you referring to?
Well for me if Scarborough is against Rubio, it seals the deal for me. I am all in now. Scarborough is all in for Bush, so when he rants against Rubio, it is a clue that I am on to something. So, I have supported Rubio in the past now I will double down on him.
The immigration is a major flaw, but he’s an accomplished guy beyond that. He rose to be Speaker of the Florida House at a very young age. He’s talented, he’s sharp and he’s got a mostly conservative view. He is duplicitous on immigration which is a major issue to me and why I have not been an advocate of his running for the presidency. He had a very good Senate run up until the gang of eight and then basically went AWOL preparing to run in 2016. Not ideal. Of course half of Free Republic is up in arms that Cruz spent that same time doing the complete opposite and trying to enact change in Washington and fight the surrender caucus. I suppose they’ll bash him for that and bash Rubio at the same time for making friends and going along to get along. Can’t win with some people.
Will you acknowledge that our first priority should be Jeb and Kasich being out of the race?
Disagree, Rubio is just as bought and paid for by The Cheap Labor Express as Kasuck and Yeb!
Yeb! going after Rubio is useful in my view.
ALL of the Cheap Labor Express candidate must be defeated.
Rubio is the bigger threat at thos point.

Amnesty is a done deal no matter who is elected president.
Reagan gave us Amnesty. Nixon gave us China and the EPA. GHWB gave us the ADA. GWB gave us Part D, the bailout, Tarp, stimulus packages.
They all suck.
Cruz will capitulate. Trump will "make a deal" with Schumer and Pelosi.
Rubio will do whatever he wants.
Don't put your trust in the arm of flesh.
I think we said the same thing last election. Reminds me of a Walter Pigeon line in the movie 12 O'clock High. Where do we find such men as this?
Just yesterday there was an article on FR quoting Rubio as saying “amnesty for the illegals here FIRST, THEN a wall.”
Not cool.
Actually Amnesty doesn't even matter if the EU and the UN are successful in erasing all borders and instituting international laws that destroy our Constitution.
We are seeing in our country what Florida went through under Carter when people lost their communities to the invasion from Cuba, and now we are seeing an instant replay.
