Rubio running for senate now |
Nature Boy Florida |
All other Republicans dropped out to clear path.
It's a good move. Rubio has been a very active Senator since dropping out of the Presidential race. Perhaps the charge that he wasn't getting anything done - and was a puppet of the McCain moderate wing - made him rethink how he conducted himself.
And perhaps in 4 years he can take on President Clinton.
If the Rubio from the last 4 months had been the Rubio from the previous years - I would have voted for him. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

The reason you have Trump is because people voted for him. That's not Rubio's fault. |

Rubio had no chance when it came down to the Florida primary where polls showed him far behind Trump. If he'd done the right thing there, the whole race would have shifted toward Cruz who was within 100 pts of Trump before that Tuesday. If Cruz had come out of that day with Florida, the race would have been a completely different story. Rubio had no chance, he knew it, his people were telling him to drop out before the primary (remember?), and he didn't. I do blame Rubio. |

Rubio thought he could win up until Florida.
He was wrong.
He has done soul searching since then, and I believe has made change for the better. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

I like Rubio as a person, he seems to be a true believer in both Christ and in conservatism. But I don't trust his judgement and that's pretty important. Obviously, if he won the nomination I would vote for him. |

Rubio and Trump have mended fences. Senator Rubio will be a key ally in the Senate for President Trump. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

Yep, funny thing about that. I think Newt hit it right lately, the people voted for Trump. A whole bunch of people voted for Trump.
I noticed the tie vote at the SCOTUS, when Hillary gets in you can kiss ANY conservative decisions goodbye for many years to come.
I am still anyone but HIllary. I hope Rubio wins re election. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

The campaign has not even started yet. Admit it, you want Trump to lose. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

It certainly seems that Trump hasn't started yet. You think he's being nice and letting Hillary off to a head-start?
Its no secret that I have no confidence in Trump's ability to win. I want Hillary to lose more. I'll vote for Trump unless Johnson is polling unexpectedly high. |

Rubio would not have beaten Hillary in my estimation. I think maybe if Rubio 'looked' 8-10 years older he could have. As a matter of fact I am not sure any Republican could have beaten Hillary.
Of course Trump is not a 'real' republican in the true sense of the word, and that is why he is going to be the nominee. He is also not a real conservative, but so far in the last bunch of years, none of the rest that we elected have been.
I will vote for Trump. I would hope Rubio changes his mind and at least backs Trump. He has said he will not campaign for Trump in Florida.
I would not mind it the Libertarian lite up like a rocket, but it is now likely.
I do hope Rubio wins his bid for re-election. _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!
