Right.
Marco Nolo is the sane one.

It’s just the tiniest bit ironic, considering that Florida is Ground Zero for recent election-rigging. But Marco can’t say, “No, Donald, be quiet, it’s the republicans who rig elections in florida.”

No better proof of rigged elections could be offered than if Trump ends up winning.

Sadly, even if Clinton takes Florida, it looks like Little Marco will be re-elected. Florida knew what Gov. Scott was after his 1st term and gave him another term. Marco will probably get the same treatment.

Never ever underestimate Florida resident. There is a web site called FARK.com that links to interesting/bizarre news stories. Florida is the ONLY state that has its own tag because it has such an incredibly high number of relevant news stories.

“Forcefully” “Rubio” ?? There is something wrong with that combination…

You can say that again, Marco.

But seriously, you students of English noticed this, I’m pretty sure: “This should not continue to be said.”

Rubio ain’t too bright, and his ambition leads him to sometimes play along with the cray, but he still has a small voice somewhere that says, ‘that’s just nuts, you can’t go along with that.’

Course he is a rino. He probably should have stuck with his plan to go cash in on K street.

If I understand Little Marco correctly he said that in Florida the Republicans manipulate the election process to give the advantage to Republicans so it is obvious that the election is not Rigged. Brilliant!

Let me guess. Donald J. Trump still has your full endorsement for President of the United States of America.

And so this should not continue to be said.

Passive Rubio.

Agreed. Florida is on my list of states where I have limited sympathy when they drive off the rails.

I will be a contrarian and give him full credit. That is a criticism and defense without holdback and is exactly what every remaining self respecting republican leader (all 5 of them!) should be saying.

I particularly like his reference to people who left countries where you can’t vote or elections were rigged. Americans have no clue what a rigged election looks like.

And as much as what GOP elections officials are trying to do is repugnant it is not illegal until declared to be by the courts. To call it rigged is in the same arena as what Donald is doing.

Oh, and global warming isn’t real either according to Rubio. Refuses to deal with what’s happening on any realistic level. Will he commit to 6 years in the Senate? All he can say is, if his heavenly father allows it. That’s a non-committal commitment. In other words, its out of his hands.

This man-child is a pandering fool looking for another round of handouts by the taxpayer while he continues to suck off the government teat, still bothering to point to others for taking advantage of a system set up for those less fortunate. Another GOP ‘taker’.

If it weren’t for this bozo’s manipulation in the law, risk corridors in the ACA would have been covered more thoroughly by the gov’t, and those premiums people are seeing rise would have been reduced significantly. Rubio should have moved on to becoming a lobbyist like he is more suited for, but he would have had to wait 2 years after leaving the Senate according to new rules established some years ago.

“The governor of the state of Florida is a Republican who appoints the people that run the division of elections.” is not exactly strong proof of the premise. Jeb Bush was the Republican governor of the state of Florida, Katherine Harris was the Republican Secretary of State, but the 2000 vote in Florida does not stand as a beacon on the hill in the annals of open and honest elections.

Meanwhile, “This is a state that literally has millions of people who came here because they couldn’t vote in the nation of their birth” sounds like an endorsement of Trump’s claim that “illegal immigrants are voting all over the country.”

Not sure which side Rubio is playing for.

Both, if I know him welll…

““The governor of the state of Florida is a Republican who appoints the people that run the division of elections.””

Uhhh, Rubes, that doesn’t help your argument that no funny business will take place…

Does Florida dictate that the Governor fills a Senate vacancy?

In all seriousness, I could see Rubio getting reelected then resigning immediately to begin work on his 2020 campaign. Which starts in four weeks.
