“I can’t dislike him”.

A leaden Bush declared, “I have a concrete plan”, jabbering on with a few perhaps solid policy details, if anyone was still listening. I kind of like the guy.
Bush joked that the Senate does so little work as it is, saying senators only work three days a week, and derided that as a “French workweek”. Marco Rubio attempted to steer his answer to one question toward fiscal matters, however, he was soon mired in a tense exchange with the other Floridian on the stage, Jeb Bush.
Rubio was ready. “Jeb, let me tell you, I don’t remember you ever complaining about John McCain’s vote record”, he said, noting that Bush had been a supporter of McCain during the 2008 election. “One of the great things about our party is that we are able to have a dynamic exchange about which solutions will secure a prosperous future, and I will fight to ensure future debates allow for a more robust exchange”. “I worked with his dad and with his brother”. “The second group, I was pretty nice”. He was OK, he had a lot of energy in his debates. I’m not running against governor Bush. The board took him to task for his comments in recent interviews that he’s “frustrated” with the upper chamber and that “voting is not the most important part of the job” when compared to constituent service. The Florida Republican is the ascendant candidate in the race, having turned in several strong debate performances and maintained a steady, albeit small, amount of support in the polls. But he has continued to be dogged by his spotty attendance record.
“For Marco Rubio here to dump on the Senate, this institution established by our founding fathers, he should be ashamed of himself”, Reid added, completely disimpassioned from what his simple plea on behalf of the Floridian people might mean for Rubio’s presidential prospects. Bill Nelson ‘s call for an investigation specifically into Disney. “So I don’t accept that”.
Right now, Senator Rubio has missed more votes than any of his competitors, about 34% or 99 votes since the start of the year. “You know how many votes John McCain missed when was [making] that comeback that you’re now modeling it after?”
Protesters interrupted GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign stop in Doral, Fla., last Friday. Conventional wisdom said he needed to make an especially positive impression Wednesday night, which he failed to do.
Presidential campaigners typically get a reprieve: as the Washington Times points out, then-Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama missed over a quarter of votes as their campaigns heated up, and Sen.

The people of Florida deserve to get what they are paying for, and if that’s not Marco Rubio, he needs to resign today, and let someone else represent the people of his state in the Senate.
