Needs some answers.

This is a big story and it will cement FL for Hillary if it gets legs.

1. Rubio just found his exit sign

from the slaughter.

I wonder if Cruz will take the same one given his father's background.

[BSdetect]

14. A no-brainer even for a none-brainer?

[RonniePudding]

17. We'll see if the spineless weasel takes it. I have my doubts.

[DFW]

2. I'm just sorry Rubio had the smarts to realize what a bad position it put him in

If the story of Trump's embargo violation turns out to have legs, and Rubio defends him despite that, his whole constituency melts before his very eyes, and we pick up his Senate seat.

3. The problem is that...

Anytime a negative story about Trump is about to get legs, he will do something or say something so utterly outrageous that it over shadows the negative story and takes over the news cycle for days. The reason that such is the case is because Trump's outrageousness gets more ratings than Trump's scandals -- so the MSM goes with makes them more money.

5. That may be true nationally

But I think the Cuban community Florida - especially in Rubio's home district are focused like a laser on this story. At least I hope so.

[Else You Are Mad]

8. I hope so too...

I don't know much about the Cuban community in FL -- I live in NJ -- but let's hope that this gets legs in that community.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

12. That won't work for this one...

Cuban Americans here in Florida have extremely deep rooted views regarding Cuba...and they are very anti-Castro. This has already gotten legs and I predict that within 24 hours it will be an out of control steam roller. The attacks on Alicia Machado are only going to make the seething contempt directed towards Trump from the Cuban American community even more intense.

That cheeto is screwed...bigly, lol.

[Else You Are Mad]

16. I hope so!

Today is my birthday and that would be the best birthday gift I could receive! The bigliest, most tremendous birthday gift!

[deurbano]

22. Happy Birthday! (And REALLY hope you get that gift!)

[LiberalFighter]

18. Maybe. But this is likely to be part of the next debate and it will grow more legs.

[bluestateguy]

4. Where does the article say that?

Just read it. Must have missed the part where it said in explicit words that he was considering un-endorsing.

[Johnny2X2X]

21. Right between the lines

What else is Rubio talking about?

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Oooopsies

[Thinkingabout]

7. I realize the concern of residents of Florida, to further the concern again Trump skirts the laws,

etc of the US for his own pleasure. He is a fraud.

[Else You Are Mad]

9. A fraud and..

A criminal that gets away with every one of his criminal acts because he is wealthy and a celebrity.

[Thinkingabout]

10. Yes, a different sandard.

[Else You Are Mad]

11. Imagine...

If Obama or Hillary was accused of violating just one of the many laws Trump has been accused of violating. They would hate been forced to step down as soon as it came out.

[Thinkingabout]

33. Dont want to think about him getting elected but it would be time for the Democrats

To step up the special committees to investigate him. He is nasty.

[BSdetect]

15. He's a phony, fraudulent, fascist, flaccid fabricator.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Rubio of course is trying to save his own ass.

[Hortensis]

19. Umhm. This amoral opportunist would kiss Trump's ass

as readily as he'd slice it off and fry it up, depending on what he thought would advance him politically. As it is, he'll kick at least 3 political stones further down the road by denouncing him.

[lillypaddle]

20. Rubio: blah blah blah

blah blah blah. Fuck you.

[Cosmocat]

27. fin lightweight twit

wasn't going to run again for his seat, somehow used the shooting in miami as a rational to run after losing the POTUS nomination,
refused to endorse the dolt endorsed him, now thinking about unendorsing him.

[lillypaddle]

28. Exactly

blah blah blah just about covers it!

[Javaman]

23. considered it but didn't.

rubio, tell me, how old is the earth?

opportunistic moron

[berksdem]

24. this story...

has legs just as all the rest of the them. unfortunately, it will do nothing in the eyes of his voters.

[progressoid]

25. Its the undecided and third party voters that we need to get to.

[anamandujano]

29. His solid voters are beyond the beyond. We don't care about them anymore.

[Mc Mike]

26. Could lead to a negative feedback loop, that hurts the repug prez candidate

and the repug down ballot candidates like Rubio at the same time. Hopefully a perfect storm of feedback.

[C_U_L8R]

30. Idle threats

Give me a break. Marco is fishing for some reward.
His politicizing isn't impresssive, even though it does help us.
Marco, Grow up and either pull your support or go away

[Sunlei]

31. Rubio desperate to win again. Rest of his life trump will never forget the small penis wisecrack.

[C Moon]

32. This is kind of an October surprise. Close enough.
