Two debates ago, Rubio spanked Jeb. The Bush machine felt that Marco betrayed the family, as the Bushites have assisted him in advancing his political career. While the rumors of Rubio being involved in numerous "affairs" have been common place in Florida for several years, they have been spread by democrats.
Now, in retribution for "betraying" the Bush family, the very people who have previously assisted Rubio in covering up his behaviors, are preparing to expose him. What a large part of their focus will be is not only has he betrayed his wedding vows, but he has lied about it. Over and over.
Hence, while the "rumors" haven't been widely reported -- not even close -- up to now, the Bush machine is prepared to promote it. I had expected it soon .....before the holiday break, as images created before X-mas tend to become entrenched by New Year's Day, and stick through January. But, it could be that they'll wait until January, when the next round of the campaign battle heats up.
It was interesting to note that Marco and Jeb pretended to be totally unaware that the other was on stage last night.
