Santorum can't name any of Rubio's Senate accomplishments
« on: February 04, 2016, 01:28:26 pm »
Rick Santorum had one job to do in his appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. He failed.

The former Pennsylvania senator, who dropped his presidential bid Wednesday, told co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski he was supporting Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign because the Florida senator is someone “who can work together with people.” But Santorum struggled to name one accomplishment Rubio has had in the Senate.

“He’s been in the Senate for four years,” Scarborough noted. “Can you name his top accomplishment in the Senate — actually working in the Senate doing something that tilted your decision to Marco Rubio?”

“If you look at being in the minority in the United States Senate in a year when nothing got — four years where nothing got done, I guess it’s hard to say there are accomplishments,” Santorum said. “I mean, tell me what happened during that four years that was an accomplishment for anybody? It was complete gridlock.”

I got a very mean spirited giggle out of this ringing endorsement.

I can name one!  He managed to align himself with the wrong people on an issue that matters a LOT to the electorate after promising the people of Florida who elected him that he wouldn't do that!

And now he can't unring that bell!

Well, let's be fair...what accomplishments has the U.S. Senate had in its entirety since, oh, passing Obamacare?

Many! And every single one of them involves caving in to Obama!

No, not nothing.  $omething.

Lot$ and Lot$ of $omething.

Ditto John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

Have you ever seen what Boehner's government retirement is worth? Not to mention all the perk$ he got during his raping of the GOP, plus all the perk$ he'll get for doing it.

And with these type of Republican conservatives who needs the DEMS & Libs? These are the endorsements that RUBIO is racking up from the UNIPARTY. I guess a lot on here like the Status Quo and that what they will get unless it is TRUMP, CRUZ or Crazy Bernie? :beer:
