BOMBSHELL Report Against Marco Rubio – This Changes EVERYTHING!

Details of the forthcoming scandal are not yet clear, although the allegation involving Rubio and the female lobbyist is reportedly being leaked to “multiple mainstream media outlets” this week.

FITS showed the webpage we were provided to a presidential operative in early-voting South Carolina. This operative – who has worked on more than one presidential campaign during the current election cycle – confirmed that the woman on the webpage was “a focus” of opposition research against Rubio, however they declined to elaborate on what was uncovered.

All the operative would say was that the woman was identified by researchers during a deep dive into Rubio’s disastrous personal finances.

Anybody know if this is factual?

[TwilightGardener]

1. Don't know if factual, but it sure would be delicious.

[TheBlackAdder]

78. True or not, Rubio's MACHO factor just rose 10 points! nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. I smell a Bush/Rove. nt

[LonePirate]

5. This sure seems like something Jebbie would do.

I look forward to seeing what develops here.

[jalan48]

9. Yep

[restorefreedom]

14. definitely rovian. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Oh, it's essential Rove fah sho

And Jeb! greenlit it, still fuming about getting gaffled on stage at the debate.

It doesn't just smell of Rove. It STINKS of him.

[misterhighwasted]

24. Your nose is not stupid. Bush/Rove indeed.

JEB!
ugh.

[Cosmocat]

25. YEP

McCain probably gave Rubio a pat on the back walking past him ...

[MosheFeingold]

30. BINGO

This has Jeb written all over it.

Jeb is a nasty nasty fighter, just like Romney and McCain.

[Blasphemer]

34. No doubt about it... nt

[mtasselin]

39. YES

Yes, this is rove at his worst. There is a special place in hell for this person, I am a liberal, but am so sick of how this guy destroys lives in the name of politics and winning.

[LanternWaste]

46. I smell typical opposition research indicative of every modern presidential campaign.

I smell typical opposition research indicative of every modern presidential campaign.

[2naSalit]

50. The turdblossom has been

very, very quiet lately. I did hear him on NPR yesterday-? marketing his new book, as though his fans could actully read and comprehend. Maybe it's a picture book.

This reeks of the turdblossom, stub needs all the help his $$ can buy... 1+1=2.

[briv1016]

64. Really?

I think Trump and Cruz would have much more to gain by taking down Rubio then Bush and the GOP establishment.

[Docreed2003]

86. There was an OP about Jeb recently

Which alluded to Jeb's people pushing the meme that Marco had had a longstanding affair. You may be correct

[maxsolomon]

3. If it pans out (or even if it doesn't), there goes a "rational" GOP candidate

Man I hate the term "Deep Dive".

[still_one]

13. I don't think Rubio is particularly rational. Then again I thought jeb bush might have some

rationality until he opened his mouth

[Hortensis]

76. Rubio is a right wing extremist. He would

rationally, and probably completely amorally, continue to funnel money and power up to those whose good will is most useful to him.

I don't think I hope this story is correct, though, because, one, an overcrowded GOP field is working great for us, and two, Rubio's not the only likely sociopath in that lineup. There are others to knock out, see #1. The sooner the field narrows down and Big Money decides who to back, the sooner they start launching the big missiles.

[still_one]

77. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[sharp_stick]

4. I hope it's factual

Something like this leaking now would be classic Trump / Roger Stone scumbag electioneering and I love it.

The republican party made Roger Stone and the fact that he may have a hand in destroying would make me just so happy.

[TexasProgresive]

6. Donno

When you post in LBN you are supposed to paste the exact headline.
BOMBSHELL Report Against Marco Rubio – This Changes EVERYTHING!

[Gore1FL]

26. Edited

Sorry. I misunderstood your post.

[GeorgeGist]

7. DEEP DERP.

[H2O Man]

8. I still don't like him.

[William Seger]

21. LOL!

[prouddemfromaustin44]

82. Same here

He's still an a-hole, regardless of whether or not these allegations are true.

[jalan48]

10. Deep diver? No wonder he's always drinking water.

[WI_DEM]

11. The MSM & establishment's great hope

I hate to say it but it's looking more and more likely that Donald Trump could wind up as the GOP nominee or else the equally irresponsible and contemptable Ted Cruz.

[napi21]

23. Honestly, I think Trump is the ONLY Pub candidate who has a BIT of rationlality.

No he's not speaking that way now, but he couldn't have gotten to his position in life buy being an irrational AH. He's he's ruthless and will smash anyone who gets in his way to the top, but he's still better than all the rest of them.

Besides, I think our Dem candidate could easily win in a Trump matchup.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

59. Trump's "position in life" was being born into priviledge.

He's arguably squandered away more money in life than if he had simply skated on his inheritance.

He's run his company into the ground four times. He's ruined other people's ventures that he's gotten himself involved with.

All he has is slick marketing on his name.

Why are people acting as though Trump's some business genius or business success?

[immoderate]

63. What you say is all true. And Trump may still be the most rational of the Republicans.

He has no conscience, and he plays with OPM. Nothing irrational.

--imm

[Joe Nation]

12. I expect that Trump has already tweeted something like...

"Marco Rubio is disgustin' How dare he cheat on his wife. I'm appalled by his behavior. Vote Trump!"

[JonLeibowitz]

17. Use the Donald's strategy! Just divorce them! Which wife is he on now?

[leftynyc]

33. Except the donald was

still married to Ivana when he was OPENLY cheating on her with his second wife, Maples. I don't think even donald would open his mouth about this one.

[JonLeibowitz]

38. I hope that's a dare. I fully hope and expect him to

[leftynyc]

57. It would be delicious

to use the lurid Murdock owned NY Post covers back in the day to remind donald what a pig he was/is. They were very hard on him for that.

[getagrip_already]

52. if nobody expects the d to have a zipper problem....

they just haven't thought it through. Of course, his hookers probably sign non-disclosures and get hush money payments. Just look at larry ellison and just about any ceo billionaire.

he likely has a trail of tail that is very, very long. it would certainly fit his ego. heck, he even drools over his daughter.

[valerief]

15. Did anyone watch amazon's Alpha House? Senator Andy Guzman, clearly

modeled after Rubio, hit anything that moved. (The fact that Trudeau made them Dems for the series doesn't change things.)

[floriduck]

36. I t was a funny show.

Jonathon Altar also helped in the writing of the show.

[valerief]

42. That's right. And it was funny. I was sorry to see it end. nt

[fredamae]

18. Considering the track record of

the GOP Family Values crowd-I would be More inclined to believe this rumor ends up credible over Any Dem being accused, ever-though Dems are Not angels either.

[Gamecock Lefty]

19. I just love when bad things happen to Republicans. I really do!

[Renew Deal]

20. The Bushites have been trying to push such a story for a few weeks.

And I think they see him as his primary mainstream opposition.

[C_U_L8R]

22. Jeb!

The Bushes have been not-so-subtly whispering
about Rubio's loose zipper for quite some time now.
Looks like the full trousers are about to drop.

[brooklynite]

27. On the one hand...

...with 16 opponents, it's hard to believe someone else hadn't found this, if it's there to find.

On the other hand, this is usually the trash that gets thrown around in SC.

[LiberalArkie]

28. From one of the comments at the original site

shifty henry • a day ago

Senator James, a famous politician, died. His wife offered the minister a $10,000 donation to the church if, at her husband's funeral, he'd say that the man was a saint.

"Your husband lied, cheated, and stole," answered the minister. "I could never say he was a saint."

"Then I'll ruin YOUR reputation," she threatened.

Fearing for his job the minister began the service with these words, " Senator James was a liar, a cheat, and a thief ..... but compared to his wife he was a saint."

[Agnosticsherbet]

29. Politics is wore without ethics, morals, or rules.

[flamingdem]

31. This has been around for a long time

Unless it's a new tryst!

Okay so it will be Trump, maybe Cruz. Buh buy Repukes!

[NowSam]

32. Right on Schedule

Cue the rise of Jeb. Sigh.

[n2doc]

35. Not from 3%. He's toast. n/t

[Myrina]

49. .... but if it comes down to him vs. Trump ....

... the few sane party stalwarts are going to back Bush.
They know they don't stand a chance of winning the WH with Trump on the ticket.

Interesting to see the other side have to hold their nose & pull a lever for once.

[n2doc]

56. I think he will drop out after New Hampshire

He will be so far down that all his funders will go away.

Seems to be a current push towards Christie, as far as I can tell.

[Myrina]

58. Wow, Christie? Really circling the bottom of the barrel, aren't they?

[n2doc]

66. The establishment looks pretty desperate.

The one I worry about is Cruz. Everyone hates him, but as another poster pointed out, everyone hated Nixon too.

[BeyondGeography]

37. South Carolina...that's where BushCo always cleans house

Lee Atwater's smirking somewhere.

[blm]

73. Same thing I was thinking. SC operatives are BushInc's front line.

Have been for decades.

They are as evil and dirty as it gets in politics.

[jtuck004]

40. Number 4: "I did not have sex with that woman".

I have a book of excuses politicians use around here somewhere, and it struck me that the excuses become so common that we could just number them, and then they could just say "Number 4", for example. Then everyone would know they are a weasel without a bunch more lies to confuse the issue.


Save us a lot of time and crocodile tears.

[rogerashton]

41. Y'know, it might not hurt him much.

If he handles it right. "Yes, I made a mistake -- I was tempted -- but it's over, and I went to my wife and the confessional with it, and I am forgiven. Most importantly, God has forgiven me. I am committed that it will never happen again."

Of course, after he says all that, and is found in bed with ... Well, you know.

[renate]

51. that was my thought too

As long as he sheds a tear and says that he is a sinner but his sins have been cleansed by God's forgiveness, he'll be absolutely fine. In fact I really think his poll numbers would go up as a result.

[KansDem]

55. Remember this classic?

The climax comes at 4'10"

[Joe Nation]

43. Why do these egomaniacs run for office knowing this stuff will eventually come out?

Skeletons rarely stay in the closet in politics.

[link:|

[yellowcanine]

44. Predicted "about to break" bombshell. Meh.

They almost never pan out. Real bombshells don't get predicted. They just explode.

[marble falls]

79. Biiiingo.

[MissDeeds]

83. Yeah

I'm not sure how much of a bombshell this would be. I read something about a Rubio affair more than a month ago, but unfortunately can't remember where I read it.

Edit to add: I'm not going to get too wound up about this. Our side has had its share of scandals, Gary Hart, John Edwards...and others of note. It's interesting, though because they are supposed to be the "Christian, family values" camp. Love the irony.

[DFW]

45. Wait to see how fast and furious Rubio's denial comes

If it's furious but not fast, it probably means that damage control is underway.

If it's fast but not furious, they're probably hoping for damage control, but don't know if it has a chance.

If it's both fast AND furious, it's either a total fake, or they have it completely under control, and la señorita is safely and anonymously ensconced in a jungle villa in Costa Rica or Belize until after the election.

If it's neither fast NOR furious, then it's either Door Number One (he's toast, and trying to figure out how to salvage SOMETHING), or Door Number Two (it's a fake, they know who's responsible, and are preparing to destroy the one/s responsible).

[Jack Rabbit]

47. How could this have been worse?

At least he's stuffing a lobbyist and not an unpaid intern. If he were doing that, it would be what you call really getting fucked.

[Myrina]

48. "Disastrous personal finances" + a (heretofore) unknown female ?

Oooh, sounds like Marco was spending money on a hobby he shouldn't have had ....

[Buzz Clik]

53. It might help his campaign.

Trump changes wives more often than I rotate my tires.

[cstanleytech]

54. OP if you have to ask for confirmation then I question if this should be posted in LBN

as LBN rules are pretty firm even when the story is about a dick like Rubio.

[840high]

60. yep

[CanonRay]

61. No worries. Jeebus will forgive him!

[FairWinds]

65. Very typical GOP morality . .

[hrmjustin]

67. This will be a wait and see thing. This could be a slander by u his opponents.

But I alwaus said Rubio was a sex scandal waiting to happen.

[Wolf Frankula]

68. Oh My, Oh My.

More traditional family values Republicanism. "But not cheating on spouses is for OTHER people!"

Wolf

[MowCowWhoHow III]

69. What a shame

[Bernardo de La Paz]

70. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rubio and his family at this time of their suffering. nt

[gopiscrap]

71. this (DU) is from the 4th internet source

I have heard about it today

[Major Hogwash]

72. " . . . so I can spend more time with my family."

Coming soon to a press conference near you!

[EV_Ares]

74. Don't know if it is factual or not but it is a republican operative being from that website.

[TheBlackAdder]

75. Rovian? Perhaps. Could be Jeb!, but it could also be Christie. A sudden a NH paper endorsement. nt

.


As chair of the RNC, I'm sure Christie has access to inside dirt that candidates had to claim as possible ammo the Dems could use against them in a General Election. I wouldn't put it past that guy.


.

[alfredo]

80. I thought all republican are in bed with lobbyist

[Ford_Prefect]

81. I'd like to point out the source is a RW rumor sheet of the worst kind.

Since when do we take that kind of info source as meaningful? Sounds more like troll bait to me (not you Joe). I mean the kind of source that spins rumors and innuendo into the echo chamber.

It sounds to me like we are reacting as planned by whoever planted the story there.

I don't have any love for Rubio, and I wish him all the failure he truly deserves. I think the suggestions that this is a hit piece put out by Rove or one of his acolytes could be spot on.

But I also think we should not jump into the swift-boats, eh?

[Vinca]

84. Please let there be photos. LOL.

[briv1016]

85. And bank records.
