Surely this is a scandal that the left can use to ruin Marco Rubio, a politician that they fear to their very core. A Hispanic conservative Republican who is well spoken, attractive, super smart, balanced and under control.

OH MY GOD!!! CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY!!!

Have no fear, the New York Times in on the case. And MSNBC is sure to try and do everything they can to make this into a major story, especially Rachel Maddow.

No word about the findings of the smear investigations that they have going on Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, or Lincoln Chafee. Of course Hillary Clinton has not driven during this period, as she has a paid chauffeur to drive her around all this time and more.
Oh, for heavens sake! What next?

I can't stand her -- she's full of it -- but I can admit that she's going to win the presidency. It's glaring and obvious. Anybody entertaining ideas of a GOP victory is just thinking wishfully.

are you going to vote for Hillary?


oh and no person who even entertained the idea of voting for Barak Obama has the right to utter the words "he/she is inexperienced"

The idiocy of the cd leftists continues unabated. Sadly, they don't understand just how dumb they come across with comments they've made in this thread.

No surprise that the left jumped on this, since there is no way Clinton will have a traffic infraction, since her elitist self hasn't driven in 20 years.

Depends on which Clinton we'd compare them to. I'd call lying under oath a much bigger offense than a traffic violation.

Not the best--there is more.

And, oh yeah. His bio always claims his family 'fled' the Castro regime years before Castro was in power or had a regime.

It would be very easy to observe how someone handles a sudden change of plans or an urgency to reach a destination.

Emotional maturity and impulse control, or lack thereof, are obvious behind the wheel.

i would be surprised if either Bush or Hillary has driven themselves anywhere in recent history.
A lot of Presidents, Prime Ministers and even a couple of Kings could answer that question for you. Historically, Texans mostly drive Trucks - particularly on their farms/ranches. President Bush preferred Ford Trucks, the F-150 in white. Around 30 Foreign Leaders visited him at his Ranch and all were given a personal tour of the Ranch by President Bush ...... lots of google pictures.

I don't know what happened to President Bushes 2001 Truck, but he recently put his 2009 Truck up for auction (it sold for $300,000) and the money was donated to Fisher House to support Wounded Warriors and their Families.

As for Marco Rubio and his 4 traffic tickets over an 18 year span and the New York Times investigation that managed to find the Horrific Evidence of those 4 tickets ...... they are now a Laughing Stock for their ridiculous Hit Piece that only managed to find a few traffic tickets. It's just about as funny as Lincoln Chaffee and his campaign to bring the Metric System to the USA ...... because it is the defining issue in the 2016 Presidential race. Leftists get nuttier and nuttier every day.
