The Fall of Rubio, in a nutshell.

[Atman]

I just read this on something called SPB (Saint Peters Blog). It's perfect!

"In the end, Rubio was the first Millennial presidential candidate, and he embodied the narcissistic worst of the selfie generation. He didn’t accomplish anything, rarely showed up for work, and was convinced he deserved a promotion."

1. Perfect

an entire generation? How if I linked Trump to the boomers?

[HERVEPA]

29. "you're"

[JHB]

2. Look, someone in St. Pete doesn't like kids on their lawn

Don't knock millennials just to take a swipe at the Marcobot. His type has been around for a long, long time.

[Betty Karlson]

27. Rubio has been around for such a long time, in fact, that he isn't millennial (1971).

The quote in the OP is a smear against millennials.

[Atman]

30. The author's name is Peter.

Thus "St. Pete's Blog." It has nothing to do with St. Petersburg, Fl or old people.

[Coventina]

3. No, Rubio is a Gen-Xer.

on edit: he just SEEMS younger than he actually is.

[Betty Karlson]

20. 1971 is not millennial.

But don't let that stand in the way of another smear (as by the quote in the OP) of the Millennial generation. We are complacent (DWS), we go to Hell (Albright), we are sex-obsessed (Steinem), we...

[Coventina]

24. No, you are correct.

And yes, that article is grossly unfair.

Every generation has its foibles, but that was a really unfair slam against Millennials.

I'm sorry.

[Betty Karlson]

25. On edit: he IS immature.

Which can happen to men and women of all ages. All it takes is a Republican attitude: I've got mine, don't care of you get yours.

[So Far From Heaven]

4. Rubio is a nutshell.

[L. Coyote]

5. Kinda loose with the arithmetic, it seems.

Rubio is so last century!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. They consider you to be a kid if you were born after Reagan left office.

[Cassiopeia]

15. Rubio was born in 1971

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. He looks like he could get carded.

[Gumboot]

7. Lil' Rube is going to be...

... washing dishes in Paul Singer's kitchen for the rest of his life.

[kjones]

8. Hasn't most of DU speant the last few months fawning over Millennial political savvy? nt

[Betty Karlson]

22. Rubio is from 1971: not a millennial, but Gen X.

[malletgirl02]

9. Can't blame Rubio on the Millennial

He is an generation Xer.I'm tired of people always insulting millennial, especially when the person in question is an Xer. Also for the record. My fellow contractors at work are millennial and we work hard. The staff assistant is a boomer and is lazy and incompetent. She is always going off for smoke breaks, and doesn't know how to use Excel or do certified mail. I told we are supposed to trying to unify, insulting an entire generation is not the way o go.

13. +1

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. It's really a nasty uncalled-for slam against millenials, though I see it as an attempted joke. . nt

[alcina]

12. "He didn't accomplish anything....

rarely showed up for work, and was convinced he deserved a promotion."

To me that sounds an awful lot like GWB before he ran for president. Could just be a republican quality.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. +1. GWB / 1% / privileged class attitudes

[Cassiopeia]

17. A slam against millenials

an uninformed one at that.

Rubio was born in 1971. He's in Generation X.

[ericson00]

18. nope. the fall of Rubio is the anti-Hispanic sentiment in the GOP base

and the fact he had dark skin, unlike Ted Cruz.

[ErikJ]

19. And he talks like a robot on speed.

[bullwinkle428]

21. OMG...this is fucking BRILLIANT! I've worked in a corporate environment

for over 28 years, and am kind of shocked and disappointed at the attitude displayed by SOME of the millennials we've hired in recent years. This blog quote nails it down so precisely!

[Betty Karlson]

23. Except Rubio is from 1971: Gen X, not millennial!

Shame on you for smearing my generation.

[malletgirl02]

26. I shock and disappointed

at the attitude at some of the Gen Xers and Boomers at my work place.

[malletgirl02]

28. I guess accuracy doesn't matter if the psot is against milliennials

So many recs for a post that doesn't get Rubio's generation right, he is an Xer. I guess accuracy doesn't matter. Xers doesn't get to pass this guy on millennials. We aren't as stupid as you think we are.

[Ratty]

31. It's telling to me what it takes for them to throw a candidate under the bus

Immigration. It's all about immigration. Here we have a front runner embraced by evangelicals who says his favorite book is the Bible yet refers to two corinthians, has divorced and remarried multiple times (ahem, Jesus says that's unrepentant serial adultery), supported - until he began his campaign - Planned Parenthood, abortion, gun control, gave to democratic candidates, etc., etc. But since he wants to build a wall, deport Muslims, refers to Mexicans as rapists, that's all it takes for them to love him. Rubio and others had impressive conservative creds but once they talked about sane immigration reform POW! Under the bus! And we all thought it was about abortion. Guess not.

Remember how Bill Clinton's blow job would corrupt the youth of America because teens all look up to the President as a role model? Lol.
