Little Marco says he will "reconsider" running for re-election

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will reconsider his decision not to run for reelection, he told reporters Wednesday.


Rubio reopened the door to running after speaking with Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos López-Cantera, a close friend of his who is running to replace him.


Sunday's mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead made him rethink his decision, Rubio said.


“Obviously, I take very seriously everything that’s going on — not just Orlando, but in our country,” he said. “I enjoy my service here a lot. So I’ll go home later this week, and I’ll have some time with my family, and then if there’s been a change in our status, I’ll be sure to let everyone know.”

Rubio has until next week to decide whether to enter the GOP primary for his seat.

... if Marco Rubio loses the primary? He's one of the many Republicans I want to see thrown out on their asses.

you all the time hear what a talented guy he is. Really ??? In what way ? In the Republican race, even Christie exposed him as only having a couple of stock speeches and then nada. If he hadn't pi**ed Donald off, he could have been his Hispanic now.

What's the point? He was useless before. Why would this time be different?

Click the link. (I thought it was odd for The Hill to use Trump's mocking sobriquet!)
