Washington Post: Marco Rubio’s Cold War
This Washington Post article is well worth a read in trying to understand Senator Marco Rubio’s foreign policy views and why he keeps fighting the Cold War more than a quarter century after the rest of the world moved on.
Would Marco Rubio put American security first?
Florida’s Junior Senator has continued to attack the foreign policy of the current administration of President Obama without mercy or quarter. His attacks have done little improve his standing among GOP Primary voters as he sits over 35 points behind Donald Trump in HIS HOME STATE of Florida according to this week’s FAU poll. That […]
Why Marco Rubio is more dangerous than Donald Trump or Ted Cruz
Florida’s Junior Senator has somehow cultivated a reputation among Republicans as a “serious lawmaker.” That alone should stimulate red flags about the GOP establishment. The media takes Rubio’s words more seriously than Donald Trump or Senator Ted Cruz because Rubio presents himself in a more favorable way. But Rubio is simply a well-polished pol unlike Trump […]
Marco Rubio’s clownish behavior making Jeb Bush look statesmanlike
For months I have complained that the national political media has adopted a narrative that makes Jeb Bush look like an above-the-fray statesman. Now I can completely understand the point of reference used to create this narrative – it is none other than Bush’s one time protege’ Marco Rubio. This week’s Republican Presidential Debate on […]
Marco Rubio’s ideological zeal leading him to dangerous stands on environmental issues
Senator Marco Rubio’s desire to be an ideological leader of the national Republican Party often rubs the sensibilities of Floridians the wrong way.

Marco Rubio says President Obama has “no class? More on Rubio and the GOP’s “class” argument

Is Marco Rubio really stronger in swing states (including Florida) than Jeb Bush?
Senator Marco Rubio has gone from April’s flavor of the month in the Republican primary field to being the seasonal blend of choice. At the same time many in the national punditry seem to be writing off Governor Jeb Bush’s chances to secure the GOP nomination. A set of swing-state polls released by Quinnipiac University […]
Iraq, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton
Jeb Bush’s mishandling of Megyn Kelly’s Iraq question last week on FOX News followed up by Marco Rubio’s poor answer over the weekend to an identical question. Hillary Clinton’s vote for the authorization that led to the Iraq War might seem like it is largely irrelevant now, but it is not. For those who were […]
April’s GOP Flavor of the Month: Why Marco Rubio and can it last?
Florida’s Junior Senator has shot up the Republican Presidential rankings in recent weeks, becoming without any question a top-tier candidate. Rubio leads some national polling and unlike other candidates in both parties has had an almost flawless campaign launch. How exactly did this happen, and why is Rubio suddenly a real contender for the GOP […]
Will some south Florida Democrats defect to Marco Rubio thanks to President Obama’s foreign policy?
I will be perfectly honest — I sat with folded hands in recent weeks as I watched some of my fellow progressives in south Florida take to social media to attack President Obama’s Middle East policies and cheer Benjamin Netanyahu on to victory in Israel’s recent General Election.
