Can't let go of something good
He ran for President and showed not only that he wasn't qualified in any way but along the way showed he wasn't interested in working his day job in the Senate. But now Little Marco has changed his mind and wants his cushy no work job to continue for 6 more years.
Marco Rubio said yesterday that he is rethinking his decision not to seek another term in the Senate and that he may jump into the race before next Friday’s filing deadline in Florida.He will be beaten severly about the head with those comments if he really decides to run. It might be fun to see his ass whupped a second time in a year.
“I enjoy my service here a lot,” the senator earnestly told reporters at the Capitol.
For anyone who has watched Rubio over the past five-and-a-half years, that statement – and the straight face with which he said it – is farcical.
The 45-year-old has heretofore made no secret of his distaste for the world’s greatest deliberative body. His friends have said he “hates” the job. Rubio himself was unapologetic about missing more votes than any other senator during his failed presidential campaign, often complaining about how “frustrating” it is to serve as a member of Congress.
Rubio is congenitally impatient, an unhelpful personality trait in a chamber that was designed to move slowly. James Madison’s idea when he drafted the Constitution was that the Senate would “cool” House legislation, just as a saucer cools hot tea.
A series of comments suggesting that he’d given up on the Senate would dog Rubio if he chose to run.
