Former Florida Allies Assert on the Record That Rubio Is a Lazy, Devious Little Twerp
Source: Slate
It is widely anticipated that Marco Rubio is going to get shellacked on his home turf in Tuesday's Florida presidential primary. A very unsympathetic Friday profile in the Tampa Bay Times suggests that part of the reason this is so is that Rubio's entire career has consisted of sweet-talking influential individuals into giving him big opportunities only to drop those individuals like hot rocks when another better thing comes along. The idea is that now, when he needs home-state support more than ever, Rubio has no one on the ground to rely on; a number of past allies in fact went on the record to tell the Times exactly how little they like lil' Marco and how bad he is at actually doing the jobs he's chosen for. In other words, all the people he stepped on on the way up are ready to kick him in the groin on his way down, or however that aphorism goes.
Among the highlights:
* He "landed one of 12 highly desired spots" on a post-9/11 Florida Legislature security committee only to miss six out of its 15 meetings.
* Mike Fasano, a former Florida House majority leader, chose Rubio as one of his whips but says he showed up so rarely to strategy meetings that asking "Where's Rep. Rubio?" became a running joke.

who believes he converses with God
Haven't seen the word "TWERP" to describe a public official
in a long, long time!
But he will try to run for governor in '18, because he needs more money to lavish on his lifestyle.
Florida, the hill to die on for Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio. They deserve each other.

Florida will rise from the ashes.
