What blew me away, even before more revelations came out to show a pattern of financial irresponsibility, was his answer at his last TV debate. When he was confronted by one of the moderators about his finances, he defended his actions by pointing out that he was born poor.
Excuse me? So because you're poor you are entitled to live above your means and let other people pay for your financial entitlement? What a dumba$s!
Floridians have been aware of Rubio's financial issues since he became the tea party darling, but they voted him in as senator anyhow. Many voters are more about personality and partisan hype than they are about the reality of the candidates.
What jumped out at me during his response is that he rationalized it by making the comment along the lines of "families simply cannot make it on $40, $50, $60k per year." But then, again, the average guy doesn't have billionaires assisting them and their families on a professional and personal level.
I think it did stick. It is in the minds of the voters. A man who doesn't attend/vote at his present elected position wants to "screw up and move up". Then add the fact that he is unable to tell one credit card from another, borrows money which is exactly what he did by using a card that was not for his personal use.
And, all of this should not be brought up because no one is digging up and desperately trying to out other candidates like Carson and Trump? Seriously, neither of them has done anything as serious as Rubio, especially Carson.
The question is "was he authorized to use that credit card for personal use" and if the answer is no, he is a thief.
It didn't stick in the minds of rational voters. I can't speak for liberals and Trump supporters.
You have a hard time believing a Fox News anchor would be shilling for a GOP candidate? Seriously?
Holy cow, you do realize Wallace is probably the most respected interviewer on any of the Sunday shows and is a Democrat doen't you? He comes from a strong Democrat family.

Isn't Rubio a liberal when it comes to illegal immigration? Of course, when it comes to taking advantage of the government, I guess with this credit card thing, he is on board with that. Oh, and not showing up to work.
Rubio can't even poll decent in his own state. Isn't Trump still ahead of Rubio and Bush in FL. I mean, if your own state is disgusted with you, again, I don't believe in "screw up, move up". He needs to get a job where he feels like showing up to do and it should be one that doesn't issue company credit cards.

Your candidate is a national joke so forgive me for not taking your opinion seriously.
At least my candidate must show up at work since he is a proven success as is my second choice.
We need someone as POTUS who can take the job seriously. I couldn't believe when they asked about his attendance record he defended it by saying others had missed attending. Well, yeah, Rubio and that is typical of what an 8 year old says when you question them. The question is "Do we want someone that justifies their behavior based on the right thing or what someone else did that wasn't doing the right thing". So 8 years old!
"Gee mom, but everyone else does it." I wonder if asked at the debate about his credit card use if we'll get "Well, everyone else does it."
Worse than the credit card, Rubio did real estate transactions with people having business before the state legislature when he was a member. After he became Speaker, a politically affiliated law firm gave him a $300k/year job that simply a payoff for him to help out their clients. Nothing Rubio has done is nearly as offensive as Romneys machinations, but hes no choir boy, hes a crony politician with good hair.

Yet he's still vastly superior to Obama and Hillary, who I suspect you adore.
Trump appears to have the American Idol, The Apprentice, Kardashian, Honey Boo Boo, Ducky Dynasty vote.....these reality/talent show TV show viewers make for a huge segment of the voting public, it seems........
