Marco Rubio in Trouble

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Republican prospects of defending the party’s Senate majority, now four seats but with many more Republicans than Democrats up for election this year, are getting a bit more dicey as the Florida Senate race tightens. Thought recently to be a sure Republican winner, the seat now appears to be in play.

Just two weeks ago, polls were showing incumbent Marco Rubio ahead of Democrat challenger, Congressman Patrick Murphy, by five to eight points. Rubio’s lead appeared solid enough that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee canceled some ad buys for Murphy, choosing to spend its money on races considered more winnable. While Republicans had other Senate races to worry about, Florida seemed secure. Rubio is a solid, articulate candidate and a skilled campaigner. Murphy on the other hand is young, 33, has no accomplishments in the public or private sector to point to, is less than charismatic on the stump, and has a recently disclosed habit of exaggerating his credentials and background. So what’s for Republicans to worry about?

Well, they can start worrying now. If the two most recent polls (taken 10/20 and 10/21) are accurate, the race is suddenly within the margin of error. One poll shows Rubio with a two-point edge; the other shows a tie.

So what happened to account for this recent movement?

The author seems to think Trump is to blame.

Why not place blame on where it belongs, the two-faced Rubio who says one thing in English to white audiences, then another thing in Spanish to Hispanic audiences.  Who decreed he would not seek reelection then decides to do it anyway.  He has earned the trust of no one.

And just may get beaten by a nobody.

Nothing like a true believer to ignore reality.

Please take only what you need.

Gonna need a bigger roll then.

Considering that McConnell was just reelected and Ryan is extremely popular in the 1st District of WI, the only "over" you could be talking about is their control of the Senate and House. That would mean you are actively rooting for the Rats to take control of Congress.

I'm glad you are finally giving up the charade of being on the Right and letting everybody know you are a typical Leftist, Big Govt' Donny supporter.

If only Trump and his Legion of Loons had spent as much time going after Hillary Clinton as they did attacking, insulting and besmirching Republicans, things might look different at this point, less than two weeks from the election.

Being elected by one's constituents means zero about "their control of the Senate and House".

Their leadership is not decided by their constituents.  It is decided by other House and Senate members.

The GOP could continue its majority in both House and Senate and McConnell and Ryan could still lose control.

In today's environment, that's about the best we can hope for. I can only hope that those up for reelection in 2018 are extremely worried about primary opponents. That's where our fields of battle lie for future election cycles.

How likely do you think that is? McConnell has weathered worse and Ryan just got the gig.

My thoughts exactly.   Too many Trumpsters are nihilists,  willing to hand Congress to the Dems so they can bite the hand of their "fellow" conservatives.   

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Whether it likely or not is not the question, although if Trump wins big, there will be a lot of heat on those who opposed him, like Ryan and McConnell.  Boehner went down when a few House conservatives refused support, so if a President refuses support, that speaks pretty loudly.

I consider what the law of the land actually says, not just whether it is likely or not.

There are many confused by this issue. ie - these guys are not elected into leadership positions by their constituents, but by the body they represent.

I think someone may have posted it, Marco is up by 10% per a poll today, quite a lead.

So info comes out, like this that Marco was in trouble, one can not be sure what is to believe.

"A Bloomberg Politics poll has Rubio leading Patrick Murphy by one of the biggest margins yet, 51 percent to 41 percent. A Bay News 9/News 13 poll has the race closer, with Rubio leading Murphy, 45 percent to 41 percent."

Bloomberg has Rubio up by 10.

Hope Marco wins but he has only himself to blame if he does not.  This is not due to a Trump.

Bloomberg Poll has him up by 10, so someone is wrong.  IMO, Rubio is in as much trouble in this race as Ryan was in his primary.  Obviously, it's not going to be as wide of a margin, but we won't be seeing Rubio swilling water again over it.
