Nice move. Hang on the sidelines for a few weeks and take advantage of a national tragedy to screw a friend.
He wants to have another six years so he can continue to protect the right of mass killers to access assault rifles.
How convenient for him.
Right on Little Marco…you were hunting around for an excuse to get a job…
Yes. I can do the most good by getting re-elected to the Senate, where, when I’m not being a GOP scam artist, I will mosty miss voting due to absence. Because, by God, it’s the right thing to do.
RUNNING TO DO WHAT THOUGH? (Yes I meant to shout)
Are you going to push for stricter gun laws?
A ban on all assault style weapons?
Are you going to stand up to the NRA?
Or are you a little self serving little shit stain that’s using this event to further your political career?
Why, so he can continue to oppose common sense gun laws and promote his own homophobia?
Haven’t the people of Orlando (and the rest of the state, and country) suffered enough?
It is difficult to understand how this mass shooting can be cause for the sitting Senator to run again. The fact that this tragedy you occurred on Rubio’s watch doesn’t cry out for his reelection.c
I’ve been deeply impacted by it,” he continued. (Marco Rubio - FL Republican Senator)
Oh, fucking do tell – just how has this impacted you, Senator? You don’t give one whit about the LGBTQ community! You’re just looking for an excuse to latch onto . No other job prospects have presented themselves, amirite?
It was only a matter of time. He was about to announce that due to “overwhelming popular demand” he was going to, reluctantly, make another run. This timing allows him to be all things to all people–either as a bulwark against political correctness or as a supporter of human rights (to those who don’t pay attention).
Here’s hoping that someone has his disdain for doing his job on a continuous loop.
The deadline to file is June 24.
The primary is August 30.
and it impacts a community you know well
So Marco knows the Orlando gay nightclub community well?
Is that where you earned the nickname “Little Marco”?
this tragedy has brought home to me how important its is to pass legislation designating the proper bathroom for sodomites to use…
WTF? Grotesque opportunism!!

As One of the Least Popular Senators in the Country, Rubio Would Face a Tough General Election
PPP’s new Florida poll finds that Marco Rubio remains quite unpopular in the state in the wake of his unsuccessful Presidential bid, and that voters aren’t interested in seeing him run for the Senate this year.
Only 32% of voters in the state approve of the job Rubio is doing as Senator, to 54% who disapprove. Those numbers make him one of the least popular Senators in the country. Even among Republicans his numbers are barely positive at 51/37 and he does very poorly with both independents (25/54) and Democrats (18/70). Only 39% of voters in the state want him to run for reelection this year, compared to 51% who say he should sit it out.
OMFG. First this sleazebag spends years throwing LGBT people under the bus for political gain, and as soon as there’s literally a pile of dead bodies he’s ready to climb on top of it and profit off a hate crime against LGBT people to revive his mediocre political career. Contemptible. Utterly vile. As a gay citizen of Florida, he DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME.
He needs a pay check. That’s all this is about. He’ll run again for prez in 2020.
He wasn’t getting the big buck lobbyist job interviews anyways? Just what does Rubio think he can do for the gay community after this tragedy besides ban them from restrooms?
