Rubio May Run For Senate Job He Abhors

It’s looking like Marco Rubio may actually get back in the race for Senatorfrom Florida. Having abandoned his re-election bid in order to focus on his failed bid for the Presidency, Rubio is now having second thoughts about being jobless come next January. His name recognition and ability to raise money will probably make him competitive should he decide to run, but you do have to wonder about all the baggage he carries with him from his Presidential campaign. He was basically AWOL for the last two years from the Senate as he focused on the primaries and he has mentioned on multiple occasions his hatred for the job of Senator. In addition, his total and epic flip-flop on immigration reform probably won’t help him in a state where there is a large minority population. And there is real danger for his political future in running and losing. Being trounced by Trump in the Florida primary and then losing his Senate race for re-election would probably be the death knell for Rubio’s political career.  On the other hand, it may be Republican’s best chance to retain that Senate seat in Florida. It’s hard to believe there isn’t another job for Rubio somewhere in the Republican grift machine that would give him slightly more pleasure and just as much money as working in the Senate he abhors. Rubio must make his decision in the next week, as June 24th is the filing deadline.
