    What a loser.

    Guy hates the Senate, then realizes it's the only way he can stay relevant after he gives it up.

    Send me back to the Senate Florida, I hate representing you, but i need this job for my own purposes! Cause I couldn't find a better gig.

    Could've sworn he said he hated his job and didn't want it anymore. Funny how things change...

    Seems like it would make a great campaign ad to just run that on a loop.

    "Little Marco."

    When he was running for President, even the Cuban-American community in Florida was like, "Eeeeeehhhh....I don't know, maybe....seems kinda young (translation: he's kind of a punk)...."

    In 2012 it looked like Rubio was going to be the future of the party and now he's joke.

    Of course the whole GOP is in pretty sad shape too.

    The RNC will probably bounce back just because independent voters know that switching parties each general election is the only leverage private citizens have. Ironically enough they will need Trump to lose so they can change their primary voting and nomination rules without risking a feud or James Buchanan scenario where an incumbent can't get renominated, they won't lose Congress anytime soon because people still hate taxes more than deficits.

    Look at all these liberals upset that Florida stands ready to re-elect a great Latino to the United States Senate!

    Good point. Let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that these liberals don’t know what they are doing. They know exactly what they are doing.

    There are plenty of great Latinos in Florida but Marco Rubio is certainly not one of them. He's a broke-ass intellectual featherweight closet case who is going to get trounced.

    Apparently Assistant Manager of Braman Honda in Homestead just isn't very appealing. Can't blame him, really. Plus, imagine the racket his bolero boots would make as he click clacks across the sales floor. He'd queer everyones' deals.

    I don't know how to react to this since you didn't tell us what kind of [post] it is.

    Looks like an ad is already up. I'm curious to see how Rubio explains this one. If I were Rubio, I would blow up the airwaves of Florida with ads against Patrick Murphy and hope that Alan Grayson somehow wins the Democratic nomination. Murphy will be a tough matchup.

    That's a solid ****** ad there. Rubio has his work cut out for him.

    He wasn't going to run until he saw polling data.
