The Phlip Side: The Democratic Donald Trump
We have a narcissistic egomaniac running for office this year. A man with ethical questions plaguing his professional career. A man who has displayed appalling behavior towards members of the opposite sex. Someone who lacks the temperament to hold the office which he seeks. If you think I am writing about Donald Trump, you would […]
Carlos Beruff echoing Marco Rubio’s rhetoric in race to succeed him
Desperate Floridians who run for office often resort to demagogic claims when things aren’t going their way. The nation has been aghast at his comments from yesterday even earning some condemnation from Republicans in Florida. “Unfortunately, for seven and a half years this animal we call president, because he’s an animal, okay—seven and a half […]
Florida Republicans looking to launch “Florida Fusion for Hillary”
The defeats of favorite sons Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have left Florida Republicans embittered toward the party’s Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. For many Republicans though, Hillary Clinton represents a soft landing when contrasted to Trump. Losing the Presidency is tough for any political party but many Republicans seem willing to sacrifice the White House […]
Discredited Marco Rubio continues to take shots at President Obama
Republican voters have had their say. They rejected Marco Rubio’s candidacy which was built largely on his accusations that President Obama “lacked class,” had committed sedition by “deliberately weakening America”.

Marco Rubio implies blame for President Obama RE: violence at Trump rallies
Donald Trump’s rhetoric is simply a reaction to President Obama’s “dividing” of America if you listen to Florida’s Junior Senator Marco Rubio.

I […]
Worrying poll numbers forcing Jeb Bush to rewrite history?
Despite all of the discussion that Governor Jeb Bush is a principled thinker we’ve stated time and again his is simply an opportunistic politician who lacks his brother’s gift for connecting with ordinary folks or his father’s gift for intellect. Instead Bush’s political career is characterized by a bad temper and sense of entitlement. The […]
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. Some of these same progressives have attacked the […]
The Florida Legislature, Marco Rubio, hypocrisy and the naked ideology of an Oligarchy
On a day when former State House Speaker Marco Rubio announced his intentions to run for President of the United States as a candidate of the right, no better time exists to look at the behavior of the Florida Legislature. Since the late 1990’s Florida’s Legislature has drifted further and further from the mainstream of […]
Monday Musings: Rubio, Iran & presidential politics, A new “iron lady”, Civil War anniversay, Legislative Session and Money, record soccer attendances in Florida
Marco Rubio is among the majority of US Senators skeptical of the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiated by Secretary of State John Kerry and the Obama Administration.
