Florida sent Rubio to the senate as a Anti-Amnesty Conservative and Rubio stabbed Florida in the back.
Yesterday, Florida stabbed back.
Goodbye, Rubio.
Still we’re not going to miss you.
Marco Rubio had the hype, the hope and the backing of the GOP establishment, but there was always something missing — voters.
Rubio will go down as the most underachieving candidate of the year. Next time the Republican bigwigs should rally behind a candidate who can actually win something.
The 44-year-old Florida senator went 1-for-28 in GOP state contests. That’s a .036 batting average.
The only reason Rubio stayed in this long was to keep Trump from winning Florida, and he failed miserably at that.
Rubio did earn some points with the party by urging Ohio Republicans to vote for Kasich. But any hopes he had of getting on the ticket as running mate pretty much ended when he got trounced in his home state.
Rubio’s failure shows just how badly national Republicans miscalculated the campaign. The Florida senator never came close to capturing the mood of the voters. They are craving a rock-the-boat tough guy who will take on Washington and Congress. That’s not Marco.
