Discussion: Pressure Mounts In The Senate To Keep Rubio From Going Home

Rubio knows heā€™ll never be elected in FL again without a major overhaul. He canā€™t afford to lose to some first-timer if he has a glimmer of hope of coming back. Heā€™s toast. And good riddance.

If McConnell really supports Trump, as he claims, he should say: ā€œLittle Marco, please donā€™t take your dollies and your dishes and go back to Florida.ā€

ā€œPressure mountsā€ basically describes the point in a road-trip where you REALLY start looking for a rest-stop.

So, pretty much exactly the correct phrase to use regarding Rubio.

McConnellā€™s panic is palpable.

He can see his position as Majority Leader slipping through his fingers.

Mitch McConnell: We need more LOSERS like Marco Rubio in the Republican Senate caucus!

Lose he will. Once it is clear to the American people how ill equipped and dangerous it would be to elect a know-nothing president, they will vote in large numbers against all- Trump and Senate and House GOP majorities- as insurance against the slim possibility of Trump assuming the highest office.

The sad thing is that if he changed his mind and decided to run again, he would stand a very good chance of being reelected. Despite being such a light-weight in the Senate. Despite not showing up for work more than any other senator. Despite his only goal being to run for President, not represent Florida. He was, is, and would continue to be an utterly pathetic and ineffective senator, and the people of Florida would still support him because of that Ā® next to his name.

soā€¦ is the news that Boobio, who has claims he hates his job and shows up as little as possible, was actually there for the ā€˜voteā€™? is it because they served cocktails?

and, with the possible exception of the other Senator from FL, who would care how many Republican Senators hands go upā€¦ as far as I know they have exactly ZERO votes in FLā€¦

He works a few hours a week, 30 weeks of the year. Who could say no to that?
