This can't be! He said he was going into the private sector and get a real job. Politicians never lie so I am dubious about this story.
Granted Rubio's opponents were far, far worse than he (on the surface), however, I think he was offered some sort of deal. Two very conservative candidates who had vacated their seats in the House were competing for his seat and when Marco decided to run again, they stopped their campaigns immediately. Another example of a huge push to end conservatism. I say this because I find it odd that Rubio lost big in the primaries, dropped out and hopped back in eliminating the conservatives.
No. Still don't trust Marco at all. The real contest remains to be seen. Will he win against the DEMS? My hunch is he's going to lose.
