I agree.

I understand there is criticism of Rubio’s missed votes, well according to this article, then Senator Barack Obama missed 45% when he ran for President for the first time, and Rubio, between March 9th 2015 and March 7th 2016, missed 41%.

Then I guess he’ll make a good President (oops, too late now - he’ll always be known as Little Marco).

To add to my previous post, I’m a bit confused about whether the statistics for Obama are over a roughly one year period, as they are with Rubio.

Rubio is leading at 52% in a poll with six other people who are all in the single digits individually, so the majority polled want Rubio to be the nominee: sunshinestatenews.com/story/florida-republicans-want-marco-rubio-run-again

I guess Florida’s Republicans didn’t want him anywhere near the Presidency, but are totally ok with him representing them in the Senate.

The votes Rubio missed were probably votes that were certain to either pass or fail.

When Obama was a senator, he took a bit of heat for an empty chair position (prior to the Clint Eastwood demonstration) on Native American issues.

No he won’t. The primary is over and people have moved on. It happens every election cycle.
 
I’ve seen on Twitter per various tweets, Marco Rubio has officially announced he is running for reelection.

Quinnipiac poll:
In Florida, Sen. Rubio leads U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy 47 – 40 percent and tops U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson 48 – 40 percent. Murphy and Grayson are ahead of several largely unknown Republican contenders.

Finding a job has been most difficult for 7 years and some months. So, if you used to work for a place and didn’t get fired, why not try to get back. Besides, you still know a few people that have pull in the business like Bush and Romney. If you agree to follow their lead to be an obstacle to Trump’s success, well that is a little something something.

So, you think that Rubio is running because

a) he can’t find another job.

and

b) he will sabotage Trump in Florida.

So, Rubio is creating a path to a Clinton Presidency that he can run against in 4 years? Makes sense, I guess.
