Will Rubio Really Give Up His Senate Seat?

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “is moving full throttle towards a White House bid, hitting the road hard to raise money and elevate his profile. While allies and advisors say he hasn’t made a final decision, most now privately expect he’ll take the plunge,” The Hill reports.

“It’s a gamble for the 43 year-old Rubio, who has to choose between running for another Senate term next year and undertaking a White House bid. Staying in the Senate is the surer bet, though reelection isn’t guaranteed in swing-state Florida.”

While he's always good for more crazy in the Senate, we've got plenty enough Republican crazy to go around atm.

... if he really thinks he has a shot at the Executive Branch.

Let him go ahead and run. It would be doing the best thing he
could do for Floridians by vacating that Senate seat.

He'll find a way to rig it & do both. It's their MO.
