That relationship fell apart while he ran for senate in 2010. </p> <p>Patrick Murphy (D) who is a US House Rep from the Treasure Coast area of Florida, announced this week that he is running for Rubio's Senate seat. Murphy is from a ruby red district and has the same style of politics that Bill Nelson is known for. If Rubio decides to throw in the towel with national politics and stay in the senate, Murphy will be a real threat to him.  </p> <p><a href="http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/with-rep-patrick-murphy-in-floridas-2016-senate-race-is-on/2222496">http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/with-rep-patrick-murphy-in-floridas-2016-senate-race-is-on/2222496</a></p> <p>Rumor started with John McLaughlin who is a discredited Republican pollster.  He worked for Eric Cantor and poled him 40 points ahead in his primary race that Cantor lost. McLaughlin doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground. He is a grifter and a very stupid one. He tried to tie Jewish organizations to the President. </p> <blockquote> <p><span style="font-size:12px">"What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu," John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis's "The Cats Roundtable" radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px">"There was money moving that included taxpayer U.S. dollars, through non-profit organizations. And there were various liberal groups in the United States that were raising millions to fund a campaign called V15 against Prime Minister Netanyahu," McLaughlin said.</span></p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://thehill.com/policy/international/236565-netanyahu-pollster-obama-role-in-election-larger-than-reported">http://thehill.com/policy/international/236565-netanyahu-pollster-obama-role-in-election-larger-than-reported</a> </p> <p>Rubio isn't very smart at times. I have been in Florida for 30 plus years and he has been the dumbest senator we have had during this time. Then again the GOP these days wear their ignorance like a badge of honor. </p> </div></div></div> Thu, 26 Mar 2015 00:42:10 +0000 trkingmomoe comment 206118 at http://dagblog.com
