Former Florida Allies Assert on the Record That Rubio Is a Lazy, Devious Little Twerp

Dude is a fukking fraud. His career as a politician is finished after he gets demolished on Tuesday.

Rise and stall: The political trajectory of Marco Rubio This a dope article.

Maybe the secret to Trump's success has been brutalizing wholly unsympathetic figures. No one can shed a tear over the humiliation of Perry, Graham, Bush, Christie, or Rubio.

In his 2012 memoir, An American Son, Rubio writes how the family would go to IHOP on Sundays, and he would complain about how long it took for the pancakes to arrive, causing his father to do the same. "I struggle with impatience to this day, and when I exhibit the weakness at a restaurant or in some other public place, my wife will remind me that I am behaving like that six-year-old at IHOP."

Nothing screams "Little Marco" like getting mad about your pancakes not coming out sooner.

DiMatteo was ready for his payback. He had asked Rubio for help in securing votes to become the next state party chairman. Rubio had his own self-interest, pushing to get Greer removed as chairman because he rightfully feared Greer would help Crist. DiMatteo says Rubio promised to call around to party leaders across the state and put in a word for him. Rubio did nothing even as he publicly credited the straw polls for his campaign success.

DiMatteo confronted Rubio and said: "I never thought another man could break my heart."

To gain enough votes for speaker, he still needed to make a deal.

Legislators in North Florida had long objected to a complicated "district cost differential" formula that provided more school money to urban areas because of the higher cost of living.

Rubio promised to support a change that would redistribute a greater share of the money. The concession swung support for his speakership from the North Florida delegations.

"When I confronted Marco, he swore up and down that he would get that back as soon as he became speaker," said Martinez. "It told me he would sell his soul to reach his objective. He's disloyal to his own people, the people who gave him his start."

"We're still waiting," Martinez added of Rubio's promise to reverse the change, which has drained millions away from Rubio's home base; one study showed Miami-Dade schools have lost as much as $1 billion.

he deserves a worse fate than he is getting now based on this alone. how many kids in florida's urban areas -- including the damn area he was elected to serve -- has he denied a good education? what a despicable man.

I always found the messaging surrounding Marco Rubio's "inclusiveness" to be very patronizing. What made him inclusive besides the fact that he was Cuban? Nothing. Assuming that he would connect with Hispanics outside of south Florida was naïve at best and racist at worst.

Even now, what in his presidential platform suggests that he wants to "grow" the Republican party? Okay, his tax plan is the only one in the GOP field that's not an across-the-board cut. Is that it? Dude backpedaled on immigration as soon as things got difficult. That was his meal ticket.

He'll be a lobbyist next. That's all he can do ultimately.

I agree. Lotta people don't understand how different culturally separate Hispanic ethnic groups are, or how unique the Cuban experience in America is. There's something to identity politics at a certain level. It is inspiring to see a candidate who shares experiences with you; but I think it's potential as a grand mover of votes across party lines is over estimated.

The biggest shift in demographic voting we've seen in the past 20 years have been Muslims flipping from 90% GOP to 90% Dem due to racial animus from the GOP, and the 45% of the Hispanic vote GWB won in 04 due to his ties in Texas and support for immigration reform. Neither of these were about trotting out Spanish speakers or nae-naeing on Ellen. Minorities aren't children who need to be given special toys like upper crust liberals and conservatives imagine.

I agree that Rubio's message also wasn't very optimistic in substance as well. Rubio's big talking points were what? Indefinite war in the Middle East? We can all work as uber drivers and Amazon drone pilots? Targeted non-refundable tax credits? That doesn't inspire anyone who isn't a comfortable writer or tech donor in my experience.
