Marco Rubio just gave a really important speech — but almost no one paid attention

Mitch McConnell's decision to silence Elizabeth Warren on the Senate floor earlier this week drew massive media attention — and outrage among partisans of all stripes.

By contrast, few people paid much attention to the speech Florida Sen. Marco Rubio gave in the aftermath of the shushing of Warren. They should.



Rubio's speech was a plea for civility in the Senate, a warning that if civilized debate dies in the Senate, it will die in the broader society too. It's an important address — and one well worth spending eight minutes of your life listening to.

A few lines that really stood out to me:

* “I don't know of a civilization in the history of the world that's been able to solve its problems when half the people in a country absolutely hate the other half of the people in that country.”

* “We are becoming a society incapable of having debate anymore.”

* “We are reaching a point in this republic where we are not going to be able to solve the simplest of issues because everyone is putting themselves in a corner where everyone hates everybody.”

* “What's at stake here tonight … is not simply some rule but the ability of the most important nation on earth to debate in a productive and respectful way the pressing issues before it.”


:wow:


Was actually a good speech

Who cares he's done. He was exposed as a dumb robot only interested in power.

On the contrast, Ted Cruz was portrayed as a lying eat who looks fake. Yet Ted Cruz has 100x better chance of winning andnm is actually fixing his credibility.

Btw how is he gonna run? None of those idiots will primary Trump.

The Republican primary was actually a great showcase of who had real political skill. It's clear as day why Ted Cruz won debate competitions in his college days. He is a great debater. What holds him back is his gimmick that he's so far invested in there really is no turning back.

lmao a ted cruz being a great debater, he couldn't even beat trump

the republican primary showcased that all this politicians are bumbling fool, they don' even have the the presence or voice of a leader like Obama did, there's no comparison it's a joke

Donald Trump is the best example of a white man in america today lmoa, no wonder they are all angry

Highly doubt Rubio is "done." Whether he wins or not is another matter.

ask for civility after you and your friends destroy it. "hold up breh, i know we behaved shytty and tore up all notions of respect for short term political gain, but you all have to be bigger than that and think about the country because we can't survive if you behave the same way we do. only we are allowed to be hateful."

fukk you rubio. i hope you and everyone that thinks you like you falls in a vat of acid. how's that for civility?

Rubio isn't a national leader and Trump took him to the cleaners

He got elected due to Tea Party wave in 2010 and the Dems putting out shyt candidates

Basically.

Plus Trump already finished this dude. Like Cruz, his job now is to kiss the ring and fall in line.

The problem is, look what you're falling in line behind. You essentially tarnished your political career for this idiot Trump.

Rubio knows that when the smoke clears, the best he'll be able to do is get a TV gig on FoxNews
