I don't know what to think. Has Rubio run out of money or did he change his mind again and doesn't want the Senate seat after all? It's concerning because we can't afford to lose the Senate. Two very conservative candidates dropped out when Marco decided to run again; so I'm wondering what the heck is going on. The primary here in Florida is Tuesday and early voting is well under way. No Rubio tv or radio ads, nor have I received any mailers. Mailers have hit our mailbox every day for weeks yet nothing from Rubio?
Donald Trump's candidacy could mean trouble for Marco Rubio's re-electionWASHINGTON — GOP Sen. Marco Rubio’s biggest roadblock to re-election might not be a Democrat.
It might be Republican Donald Trump.
While presidential candidates usually breathe wind into the sails of downballot candidates, analysts say Trump could be a drag on Rubio’s chances of winning a second term in November.
The billionaire’s approval rating falls considerably beneath the senator’s in numerous Florida surveys. And while recent polls have Rubio up several points on likely Democratic opponent Rep. Patrick Murphy, Trump trails Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by a similar margin in a state considered key to control of both the White House and the Senate.
Florida's Senate primaries will take place on Tuesday. Rubio is expected to defeat Manatee County developer Carlos Beruff in the GOP contest, and Murphy is expected to defeat Rep. Alan Grayson to win the Democratic nomination.
Trump trounced Rubio in Florida’s presidential primary March 15 after the two exchanged personal attacks on the campaign trail.
