I was surprised Rubio drives. I didn't think any senators ever drive their own vehicles.

Looks like Rubio is done. NYT has sent an investigative reporter down to Florida to dig up the dirt on him and his wife,



How in the world is that news? In no way does that effect his ability to govern and, to be fair, as president he wouldn't be the one driving.

Rubio's height on the other hand. . .not quite presidential IMO.

It's an amazing hit piece on so many different levels. For one, it appears to have been fed to the NYT by "American Bridge" - a Democrat oppo research firm - but the NYT didn't report that.

Second, I guess getting 4 tickets over a span of 19 years just wasn't bad enough (that's actually pretty good, right?), so the article combined Rubio's record with his wife's to get to 17. The twitterverse has had a lot of fun concocting fake headlines of a similar vein. My favorites so far are "Together, Rubio and Napoleon Conquered Most of Europe" and "Together, Rubio and Columbia Produce Most of the World's Cocaine". I would maybe add, "Together, Rubio and Ted Kennedy Once Drowned a Girl While Drunk Driving".

Third, has the NYT's preferred candidate even driven a car in the past two decades years?

I had not yet seen all of those. Provided a good laugh.

I am intrigued by the attempt from both sides to defame the other using such abnormally obscure and unimportant details. If speeding tickets are the worst they can find on ol' Rubio then maybe he will have a good run at it next year.

If we were using a boxing metaphor for the politics of Presidential candidacy, this isn't a haymaker, or body blow, or even a jab.  This is a blowing-in-someone's-ear-while-grappling move.

Yeah, it's just disingenuous to criticize Hillary for using a chauffeur, when she's so open and honest about being a middle class regular person who cares only about the little guy.

It's funny. I'm not sure if it was meant to be satire or not, but the NYT "investigative reporter" did a great job either way.

I mean, if other former First Ladies and Secretaries of State were always driving their Buick down to the beauty shop it would be one thing, but since they effectively aren't allowed to drive, this is a total nothing issue.  Also good news for Mr. and Mrs. Rubio if they win... no more tickets.

Enjoy this type of response. Start with ridiculous attack, then mock the people mocking the attack for feeling the need to mock the attack. Saul A. would approve! :thumbs:

As I said, it's just funny that the NYT is attacking Rubio for having a perfectly normal driving record - when the Dems' favored candidate hasn't even driven a car in the past few decades.

He didn't make the attack or even bring it up, though.

Fair point, I guess, but I consider seven to just be part of the libtard hive mind.

How worried are the Dems about Rubio? Very worried. They're dumping a lot of oppo research on him really early.

See latest attack today in the NYT - Marco Rubio's Not Rich!!! :runaway:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/us/politics/marco-rubio-finances-debt-loans-credit.html?_r=0

Again, contrasting this with the Dems' favored candidate is just amazing. Makes Rubio look positively normal.

Probably Coach Plus or whatever that category is that the paper chided Sam Brownback for using.

Don't worry, Rubio is still better than you.
