Rubio

[BobaFetaCheese]

Never been a fan but he knew that town hall was gonna be rough on him and he showed up and took it. I respect that. Couldn't have been easy to stand there. I probably wouldn't have done it.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

He is a dickhead. He stood there and defended lobbyists. Not sure that is courageous.

Not talking about what he said. I don't agree with him on many things and never really trusted him. Seems shifty. But it took balls to show up even if it was political.

Watched some of the town hall meeting on YouTube. I'll give him credit for showing up to a hostile audience. But his performance - especially on accepting NRA money - was weaksauce.

Nothing he says is anything but political. He even tweeted in a different tone afterwards.
But man a couple people tore into him and he stood there and took it and he knew ahead of time it was gonna happen. Just sayin' I wouldn't have shown up.

I live in FL, hate him, but respect him for standing up there. Also he said arming teachers is completely ridiculous. Which is the worst thing we could do. Have no idea how he did not have a fucking breakdown up there when victims father asked him question.

He is the sitting Senator during a crisis where 17 kids in his constituency were murdered in cold blood. Showing up and listening to his constituents is the tiniest, barest minimum of doing his job.

Lots of politicians don't go to those things if they know they have no chance against the audience. They see it as pointless and possibly damaging.
He gets credit in my book for doing it.

 

[Rightguide]

I don't like the little cry baby but what is he really supposed to about somebody who goes insane? Terminate the rights of 320 million people which won't have a damn thing to do to stop the next nut?

Nobody cares what you think, racist fuckknuckle.

Their cowardice does not make him a hero for just barely doing his job.

It just makes them cowards, and not fit for their seat.

How 'bout the totally politically partisan Democrat Broward County Sheriff who's now trying to pimp that his Dept. didn't come into contact with Nikolas Cruz enough to invoke Florida's Baker Act, which legally would've allowed the Sheriff's Dept. to legally separate Cruz from ALL his weapons for mental health pros to evaluate and then treat Cruz, if necessary?

The Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 LEGALLY allows judges, mental health pros, law enforcement to separate (involuntarily, if needed) possible mental health cases like Nikolas Cruz from their weapons. News reports cite "39" instances law enforcement came into direct contact with Cruz after reports of his violently abnormal tendencies. The Democrat Broward County Sheriff admits he's fully aware of the Act, and even allows that his Dept. may have made "a mistake"...

...yet he gets emotionally defensive when confronted with those "39" reported instances.

And I can totally understand why, because if they did happen and he failed to invoke the Act when it was clearly called for, guess whose feet 17 deaths are going to be layed at.

He gained some respect from me as well. But words are cheap....so let's see him author some legislation supporting what he said.

Rubio is a bought and paid for whore.

Hate to break the news to you...there is roughly 320 million in the country. Just over 25% of the households own a gun. 3% of the population own half the guns

I have no problem stepping on 3%, just as they have no issue stepping on the 97%.

No one is a hero for doing what they should do. It's called showing up for work.

He's not going to just like he's not going to stop taking NRA money. He's a politician who isn't up for re-election for several years and knows nobody is gonna remember this shit by then. Just think in this case he had more balls than most.

Says the pussy who openly admitted he won't talk to people who have different opinions. Fuck off. Nothing you say is worth shit.

 

[ChinoMoreno]

man rubios makes a good shrimp burrito lol

 

[OldJourno]

Can someone explain to me why Rubio was treated like the shooting was his fault? The whole gathering was bullshit as far as I'm concerned, and blaming Rubio and the NRA was infantile.

But when you have the likes of Paul Ryan and his ilk who haven't had a town hall in forever and all the GOP who dodged theirs after the healthcare repeal/reform attempts, its not a given they will do their job.

So like others I don't care for him, but he stood there and took his beating. Pust him a cut above many of them.

 

[RobDownSouth]

The level of public discourse is so corrosive nowadays that we're holding up Rubio's behavior as somehow laudable for actually standing up for his toxic beliefs.

This is what passes for "leadership" in the Age Of Trump.

 

[BBX3]

Reported alleged failures at every level of intervention:

- The school was warned
- The Police were warned
- The FBI was warned
- The school’s armed deputy heard shots but did not enter …


But hey, THE NRA!
