Marco Rubio the son of Cuban Immigrants could have used his talents and education to be a champion for disadvantaged people across America and across the Globe even.
He could have used his perch to stand for the values of a country which took his parents in and made them a success so that he could become speaker of the Florida State House , a US Senator and Presidential candidate.
Rubio did not do that, he chose instead to take the most hawkish path toward the presidency. He advocated for wars across the globe and a build-up of the military which is already vastly superior to all of the other top Milatary combined.
According to (Politifact.com) In 2014, the most recent year available, the United States led the world in military spending at $610 billion, marking 34 percent of the world total, SIPRI found. U.S. expenditures were nearly three times higher than China, the second-highest nation with an estimated $216 billion in military spending. Russia was in third place at $84.5 billion. But counting together military spending from the eight countries after the United States comes out to $646.4 billion, surpassing the United States’ $610. Omitting No. 9 on the list, Japan, the calculation comes out to about $601 billion.
Marco Rubio never missed an opportunity to tell those would listen that his mother was a maid and his father a bartender.Yet Rubio’s every action seemed
to suggest he has a disdain for immigrants who come to this country in search of a better life for their families the way his parents did. He never advocated for immigrants, the poor, nor the oppressed.
Marco Rubio instead paid lip-service to the working class while maintaining a hell-bent rapacious desire to attain the highest elected office tearing down all in his quest to do so.
In a rapacious pursuit for ultimate power Rubio never bothered to do the job he was elected to do, he never bothered showing up to cast votes in the senate.
He was too busy seeking the other office.
That may have been his mistake , he had no record to run on , . Rick Santorum a perennial Presidential contender who dropped out of the Republican presidential contest and endorsed Rubio could not name a single legislative accomplishment of Rubio .
This despite the fact that Rubio served in the Florida state house and is a sitting member of the United States Senate.
Marco Rubio is still a US Senator a powerful and enviable job , he may yet have a bright future , however as soon as Rubio got to Washington DC he started running for President.
Many argue that Barack Obama did the very same thing . The fact is that Barack Obama is a twice elected successful president. Marco Rubio is no Barack Obama , never was , never will be.
He disrespected the holder of the officer he craved the most , saying he has no class. Marco Rubio has no idea who he is and the party he chose to represent chewed him up and spat him out ., . Now Marco Rubio invokes God after losing his home state of Florida. I have never been more thrilled to see someone fail as I am tonight at seeing Marco Rubio exit the republican race.Disrespect, selfishness, and arrogance are not Godly virtues Marco Rubio they are vices.
God is always looking down , bye bye, Marco Rubio. Barack Obama has a lot of class.
As for me, little Marco Rubio think he’s white, so he’s out there peddling his divisive and hate messages. Little did he know that the same people’s mantras he has been peddling, were planning against him because he’s a Spaniard and not white.
What Donald Trump have over little Marco Rubio, is that he is white; he is the birther king, and he is rich. I am so happy to see him exiting the race in the most shameful ways.
Marco Rubio political career is over and done with! The advertisement showing that he is corrupted, is what Donald Trump used to buried him. No tears for the wannabe white man, Marco Rubio.
I believe Chris, that he over-reached that he may have caused irreparable harm to his once ballyhooed political career .
He never bothered to do the jobs to which he was elected and now he seem to be left upstream without a paddle.
He lost literally every county in Florida except Miami Dade, the county stacked with a large swath of Cubans.
That seemed to suggest to me that Rubio was roundly repudiated by Floridians.
I suspect he will now return to Florida and try to curry favor in order to run for Governor,or he will cozy up to Donald Trump with the hope of riding on his coat-tails to wherever.
