Marco Rubio is dangerous because he lies so easily

[DemocratSinceBirth]

We can beat him but it won't be as easy as beating the other ciphers who were up on the dais with him last night.


Carry on.

2. This is just another 'Hillary is just like Republicans" statement.

Rand Paul thinks so too.

5. I wouldn't vote to hide...

I am huge sports fan so I know how sad it is for your favorite team to lose the big one.

15. Pathetic.

[maxsolomon]

20. In the end she'll get your vote

Because the alternative is demonstrably worse.

Grow the fuck up.

[monmouth4]

22. No, she won't get my vote..Grow TFU??? You sound hostile...LOL.

[maxsolomon]

23. Then maybe you're at the wrong website.

You'll sit on your hands and let one of the clowns get elected. Good to know.

4. All of them lie easily.

I can't even say that the most honest one(relatively) is the one that keeps their mouth closed the most...

[mmonk]

6. Agreed.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Agreed. And, he doesn't EVER admit it. Think his lying about his

parents fleeing Castro before Castro came into power should disqualify him. Wonder if Trump knows about all that? Come on, Donald ! We need you.

8. Jinx

I was reading this article as we speak:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/marco-rubio-profile-213275?o=0

His parents fled Batista, the Cuban strong man and American friend.

9. He's an empty suit, waiting to do the work of the highest bidder.

He's a political whore

17. ^^^THIS^^^

[oasis]

10. Lying and sweating. Rubio: A bargain basement version of Nixon.

[Calista241]

11. This is different from any other politician how? n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Because he's an exceptionally persuasive liar.

EOM

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

I agree.

[MBS]

14. Agreed.

He is as slippery as they come.

16. Have fact checkers dog him everywhere he goes

Think of that scene where Cecile Richards was being trashed by Jason Chafetz, a Republican asshole from Utah, lying through his teeth. He accused Planned Parenthood--in a Congressional Hearing no less!--of increasing abortion services, and citing PP as his source, when, in fact, the source was a right wing site that made the statistic up. One of her people whispered it in her ear right after the "question" was asked, and she embarrassed the hell out of Chafetz by pointing out that his source was not PP at all, but the right wing web site. Chafetz didn't admit he lied, of course, but did squirm out by saying he "would get to the bottom of this." He never did, of course. My guess is he didn't need to, as he knew he was lying the whole time, and was hoping Richards wouldn't notice.

THAT is how we demolish Rubio, if he's the candidate. Well, that, and having a camera trained on any nearby glass of water any time Rubio speaks on the record.

18. I personally would love to see a matchup between him and Bernie

Experience vs baby, wisdom vs glib mouthpiece for the billionaire rightwing, never bought vs utterly owned, stands on record vs stands on high chair.
I think Bernie would shred him with hard cold reality. And he could go for the jugular of the corporatocracy by attacking the funding sources for the Rubio campaign head-on.

[Faux pas]

19. He isn't

the only politician out there who's a liar.

[flamingdem]

21. Since he is Latino who will the racists vote for?

Hopefully they'll stay home - got this small silver lining from someone else here on DU.

24. Speaking of lying easily ...

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

--Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.
