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

And you would have been an idiot. Rubio has done nothing wrong since the nomination. Trump will need all the allies he can get.

Sometimes we have to look at the Big Picture. I certainly don’t want Chuck Schumer as Majority Leader of the Senate.

He’s bad on immigration. He’s okay on most everything else.

If Little Marco tries to emulate Trump instead of ¿Yeb? as a politician, Christ may forgive him of his transgressions.

For what it's worth ...

I didn't support Rubio in the Republican primaries and I really didn't want him to win the nomination, but I'm glad he went back to run for that Senate seat. He's not my favorite GOP Senator, but this country would be a great place if we had 60 Republicans in the U.S. Senate just like him.

I don’t mind Little Marco.

He’s a lightweight , but he isn’t a corrupt, deviant scumbag like Cruz, Jeb or McLame.

Hopefully he offers Trump an apology for his behaviour in the primary and offers to be a supportive team player in the Senate

Being bad on the one issue that costs us the country is really bad.

If Trump wins tonight all is forgiven. We’re all one team now, and Trump will need all the help he can get.

He already did apologize for that brief stint as a vulgar stand-up comedian - even said he was being a bad example for his own children and greatly regretted his behavior.

Besides which - don’t forget, if the Democrats were to get enough seats to control the Senate, even if just for a month, they could push through Obama’s SCOTUS nominee and flip the Court to full on liberal. The new Senate gets seated before the new President - 50/50 means Biden would allow the Democrats to control the Senate for about a month to do that.

LOL - anything to lure our liberal ‘elites’ out of our country... (you do know I wasn’t totally serious, right?)
