MIAMI — Senator Marco Rubio, who stumbled badly in a bid for the Republican presidential nomination and then jumped back into the race for his Senate seat, was re-elected on Tuesday to a second term.

We were supposed to get amnesty four years ago and kept it at bay.

Where the dam breaks is the fact that last year the percentage of whites in K-12 public schools slipped below 50%. These are the “anchor babies” and they’ll soon be voting. So this was coming regardless.

He’s a GOP establishment hack that caved on amnesty and will do it again in a millisecond.

I’ve been saying for a week the early vote in FL clearly showed it would be an absolute coin toss this year. Got flamed here for saying it of course.

Amnesty is already here. GOP better figure out how embrace the Hispanic voter in a positive way or the party will never recover. Leaders like Rubio can do that. This election could wake some of us......

But the Republican primary voters just decided to have a national referendum on amnesty personified by Trump. They already tried to say Romney lost because of hispanics and his immigration stance, but it wasn’t really true. This time they’ll try again for sure, and it will be almost impossible to argue they’re wrong if Mr. Wall loses FL.

What a crappy headline. The contempt for GOP winning is blatantly obvious.

Embracing them is fine as long as we continue embracing all conservative positions. One thing’s for sure, no one better nominate anyone who uses the words Mexicans and rapists in the same sentence again.

Tomorrow I will call my country to see if us citizens, aka “subjects”, are “allowed” to unregister and become completely unaffiliated with the entire voting process.

“Marco Rubio Wins Re-election in Florida Senate Race”

Damn, didn’t think we’d get the bad news so early. Can’t stand the guy.

Well if he is they didn’t show that by spending tens of millions of dollars attacking him in the primary, including I believe about $10 million in Florida alone - angry with him for not listening to them and running when it was “Jeb’s turn” as a follow-up to them being angry with him for running against Charlie Crist against their wishes. They only go for him in the end when they have no other choice.

What we should have done is taken over some South American hellhole and moved our white liberal elites down there to ‘rule’ the place. It would have been cheaper... and easier than bringing millions of their citizens here.

So how is Rubio doing so well and Trump so much closer? They are splitting the vote between Rubio and Hillary in Broward?

I think not. I think they are a bunch of cheaters down there.

Sorry, but he’s a TOTAL SNAKE. He deserved to lose, regardless of what it means to the Senate.

...but I do know where you’re coming from.

“I hate to root for Marco, but I’m glad he won.”

I know, luckily I’m in Texas, so my vote didn’t matter for him. If in Florida I may have had to put a C-Clamp on my nose to vote for him.

If I lived in Florida, I would’ve voted for the democrat.
