Hillary will need a GOP congress to keep her in check.

Rubio is half-ass, but I like Constitutional checks and balances as designed, so I think we'll be as good as we can realistically be over the next four years or so with Hillary masquerading as chief executive and shrill opposition in at least one branch of Congress.

Long-term, however, I see nothing reversing the US's decline, thought within that suboptimal framework the future looks relatively bright for Florida.

Now if Rubio would only focus on that, on being Senator FOR Florida, like Bill Nelson does, then maybe he could earn full respect, instead of being regarded as a half-ass.

Good Luck!

I voted Murphy. Even though he doesn't have much of a track record, I do not like Rubio's.

This year my voting is all over the place. Normally I am one to vote dem for pres and then repub for the rest, just to have those checks and balances, but with the division that is happening ... this means that Nothing good is being accomplished. This time I am totally looking at every aspect and trying to find people that aren't just going to do things the same way just because that's the way things have always been done.

I'm trying to vote for those that are rejecting the strict party lines. I'm actually researching where people stand on issues...

We desperately need term limits. Somehow it needs to get on a ballot and not left up to the congress critters.

I can't vote for Rubio. The guy was absentee already and didn't take his duties seriously enough to send a page to vote, so pretty crappy track record. I'm not interested in checks and balances, I want the Republicans to pull their collective heads from their rear ends.

When Trump loses this election it is going to completely fracture the party. You have white moderates cheering his boorish attitude and anti SJW words and the religious right only voting for him because he happens to be the jackass pulling the cart at the time. The two are 100% incompatible and when leadership doubles down on the far right on the next cycle it will alienate the moderates.

Yeah, that means 8 years of Hillary. Which, at least she has a plan and some balls to put it out there. The republicans have had virtually no policy what so ever except obstructionism. Oh and let us not forget:

Small government - Patriot act, NSA surveillance, stop and frisk
Taxes - The one thing they are somewhat consistent on
Anti deficit - except when they contribute to it with wars and tax cuts lol
Obama Care - Complain about it, then run a candidate who put it in his own state

Privatize social security - yeah lets remove the last defined benefit plan Americans have access to as opposed to solidifying it which wouldn't take much if they would only act now while there is time to use the massive surplus that is there.

So no, I can't vote for a Republican right now, even though I've been a registered republican all my life. The party doesn't know how to react to the democrats moving their platform more to the middle. Their response has been to double down on obstructionism and McCarthy-ism.

Getting tired of it.

Rubio missed so many Senate votes -its like Florida only had one senator. Take your job seriously and responsibly or give someone else a chance.

No different than Obama and he became president

When attacked for missed votes, Marco Rubio calls out Barack Obama and John Kerry for missing votes | PolitiFact Florida

Didn't know Obama was running for the Senate. He isn't, nor is Ruibo running for president, he is running for the Senate. The career voting numbers of the people you mentioned are still much better than Rubio's as well. The guy is a joke and if he wasn't Cuban he'd have no chance in hell what so ever of getting elected.

He has the good fortune of running against a lying douche like Murphy.

Kinda like Hillary getting the good fortune of running against trump. Hillary has so mich ethical baggage, any normal republican would win in a landslide
