T****'s spawn is a distasteful joke. She is absolutely as Samantha Bee described her as a feckless @@@@, yet she would be less of a slimy ooze than the current duo.
Has Florida a Democrat that can win?

When he lived in Nevada, he converted his family to Mormonism. Last time, i read about him, being in Florida he claimed to be Catholic while attending a Baptist (non-denominational) church (i think exclusively). Whatever his current piety is, it is a false one. Rubio is a poser.

His parents converted the family to Mormonism. I'm no fan of Marco, but let's stay factual.

Jan 2021

"Another book out Tuesday, The Rise of Marco Rubio, by The Washington Post's Manuel Roig-Franzia, also sheds light on Rubio's time as a Mormon."

The book's author also notes that "faith was a central tenet of Rubio's life" and noted that a young Rubio had an unusual control over his family's religious identity, helping bring them to the Mormon faith and then back to Catholicism.

I do remember reading he was enthusiastic in his Mormonism, i did not remember his age.

"In contrast to my parents, I immersed myself in LDS theology, and understood it as well as an 8-year-old mind can," Rubio writes.

"Although my school grades were never impressive, I was a voracious reader, and I studied church literature and other sources of information to learn all I could about the church's teachings."

About 2:55 on the timeline.

"Let me tell you," he continued. "If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, hold on a second, I need to check with the president if it is true. That is how confident I feel in the president."

That - I was going to say "rube," but that's a little corny, especially for an epithet I didn't even intend as a pun.

OK. That effete little idiot just cannot stop stepping on his own dick, can he?
