This is really simple. Substitute the word “Rubio” whereever you see Blagovich and “Trump” for where ever you see Obama. Now replace “U.S. Senate seat” with “Secretary of State” and you know what is going on.

Let’s hope that Rubio gets what Blagovich got... 14 years.

******************************************
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wanted President-elect Barack Obama “to put something together…something big” in exchange for going along with Obama’s choice to fill his vacant U.S. Senate seat, according to a FBI affidavit unsealed following the governor’s stunning arrest.

“I’ve got this thing and it’s f***ing golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for f***in’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” Blagojevich said in a phone call secretly recorded by the FBI on Nov. 5, the day after the election, according to the affidavit.

Florida’s cabana boy muchacho in Beatle boots has always been for legislative amnesty for illegals.

Along with a few other butt-hurt GOP-e’s, notably McCain and Graham, Marco’s going to be a pain in the a** to conservatives for the next four years.
Trump will come up with ways to tie knots in their tails if they persist in their obstructionist BS.

Trump will have more trouble with the establishment scumbags in his own party than the Democrats per se.

As I understand it he may not make it out of committee.

I suspect Sen Rubio will try to appeal to both sides by voting to allow his nomination out of committee but then vote against his confirmation. If that is the case, he will be confirmed even if they have to wait for the new Vice President to be sworn in to break a tie vote.

“Butt hurts from loosing to Trump”

No, I believe there is another reason little Marco’s butt always hurts.

Mario is a puppet of the Military Industrial Complex lobbyists. Tillerson is bad for the Endless War biz.

No he can’t. But he can name him acting Secretary of State and make a recess appointment. Then rinse and repeat.

No way. That would fatally poison already lousy relations with the Senate

He is such a puking traitorous global. Who is he to talk about “doing the right thing”?

He’s the one who, as soon as he got elected the first time, proceeded to dump the Tea Party, declining to even meet with them. They are the ones who worked hard to elect him, and he screwed them first chance he got.

He showed us who he was again during the debates. A true POS.

The most wonderful candidate, Carlos Beruff, ran against him in the primary. He is a millionaire/billionaire just like DJT, and holds the same positions as DJT, and supported DJT 100%. He would have been a terrific Congressman. This was his first dabble into politics, and thus didn’t have the name exposure that he needed.

I pray that God will remove POS Rubio, along with McTraitor, and Grahamnesty, and replace them with true patriots. He’s been working a lot of miracles lately, so we never know.

I remember during the primaries Rush called Rubio “a full-throated conservative.”

More like a deep-throating RINO...

One can only IMAGINE the REAL videos the Soros Mafia has to blackmail him with. Golden Showers is just in the preview section before the main feature.

Rubio supported Kerry but it’s now faking outrage that Tilerson wouldn’t condemn 4 countries. A total put up job.

I’ll have to remember to mention that when I call his office to let him know We know he is such a POS. I wish we had the power to remove these traitors.

DJT, go after this snake and obliterate him!

Drain that putrid swamp!

Lots of “foam” parties. May it all come out. Sadly, in today’s culture, it could be a resume enhancement.
