Election 2016: Rubio gets TRUMPED in Florida

Time Magazine once proclaimed Marco Rubio the GOP's hope for the future. That future may now be in doubt as the the Republican Party's rising star went  supernova as Rubio found himself lambasted by Donald Trump in his home state of Florida last evening. Essentially killing any and all hope of getting to the Republican convention much less getting the party's nomination.

Rubio seemed somewhat out of place throughout the primaries, having only won a small handful of them. First taking the moral high road then getting into mud slinging, going tit-for-tat with the bombastic Trump then back to morals. And if we have learned one thing on the GOP voters they are not swayed by wishy washy  candidates.

What lies next for the Senator now is up in the air. Was his loss to Trump an indication that Florida voters are now looking towards a new person to fill his seat. If anything, Tuesday's primary shows that Marco Rubio may be ripe for the picking come his seats election time. Some rumors paint a different sort of picture. One that has the 44 year-old Cuban-American looking perhaps at a new commander and chief job. That of Governor of the state that had just sent him packing.

Will we see Rubio's star rise once again or will the man sink into the black hole of political obscurity? Only time will tell.

The Campaign Train Just Keeps a Chuggin’ All Night Long

We are a little more than a month past the last Presidential election that ended with Obama’s re-election to the top office of the land but you wouldn't know it as both sides of the idiot coin are still chugging along aboard their perspective campaign trains. Making it feel that somehow 2016 is just around the corner as we find both Marc Rubio & Paul Ryan hitting the pulpit over the weekend trying to fix the problems & image of the mundane message of the Republican party. To somehow make it more viable and appealing in to today’s political climate. Not to be out done on any accounts, you could also find the Democrats all over TV as well, as they hit the Sunday Morning politico shows touting their hopes & dreams of a Hilary Clinton Presidential run. Even one going as far as saying how they don’t even want a primary if she runs. That he was willing to just give her the nomination. I wish they thought that way back in ’08. While I was no fan of the Clinton Presidency I would surely take Hilary over old dufus ears that we have now.

Obama is for once solely and truthfully to blame (I know the right loves to blame all the country’s woes upon him the same way he and his Party have blamed all the woes of the country on Bush) for this new style of election & campaigning. Obama has shown us the way of how if you want success then you have to keep hitting the populace with some type of message continuously. To the point where this is how elections will more-than-likely will be from now on with how he finely crafted victory for a second term. You see, Obama’s main re-election format was to never stop campaigning. Hell, he even kept most of his campaign offices open and staffed during his first term in the so-called “battle ground“ states. Canvassing areas and neighborhoods with material for his presidency. I mean how do combat that? How does a candidate try to out do 4 years worth of phone calls and volunteers knocking on the door of much coveted voters? So now we will see more of this in places like Ohio, Nevada, and Florida. Hell, we are all ready seeing it on a national level now with that nicely produced video for Hilary Clinton’s farewell that has been running on all the news media. Especially the section that has both Netanyahu & former British PM, Tony Blair saying that they think the best is yet to come.

Unfortunately, when we come back to the here & now we still find Obama on the campaign trail. I guess he never got the memo on how he won and that he can not have a third term and it is time to be a real leader.  

Democrats, Once Again Making the Case of Why We Need More (New) Parties

I need to make the point first and foremost here that I am not a Republican nor do I like the Republican party. Then again I am not a Democrat or a fan of their party either because basically the two parties are chocked full of fucking idiots.

Case in point:

The Huffington Post is reporting that in a new documentary by Lauren Greenfield entitled: “The Queen of Versailles” that Florida real estate mogul, David Siegel, dropped off the cuff that he was one that was “personally responsible” for George Bush’s victory over Al Gore in the 2000 election and that "it may not necessarily have been legal." And as you can imagine the idiots from the left (like the idiots on the Right that are all about the stupid fucking “birth certificate”) are chomping at the bit waiting to say: “See, I told you so” have jumped on this in gusto so much so in fact that as I read the story and the posts about it this morning pulling my sorry ass out of bed I had to actually look at the date to make sure that I somehow didn’t sleep backwards in time and that, yes, it is still two-thousand-and-fucking-ten because here they are trying to make the case that Bush was illegally elected and the usual blahblahblah… and how it must be true because Siegel who was -go figure- apparently not happy with the way the film (a film that was about how he [David Siegel] and his wife, Jackie, set out to construct a giant 90,000-square-foot mansion in Florida modeled after Versailles and how their ambitious building project was put on hold following the 2008 financial crisis and not about the election in 2000) portrayed not only his [Siegel] family but his business as well filed a defamation lawsuit right before the premier of the documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.

(I can see the little rats that turn the Nay-Sayers and Anti-Busher’s brains leap into action with thoughts because of the suit that: “yes it all must be true. Otherwise why sue at all.”)

While Huffington Post calls it an unfortunate slip-of-tongue the case can be made that Siegel is somewhat of a braggart when it comes to Bush and the 2000 election. In 2009 Orlando Magazine did a profile of Siegel and he was adamant about his role in the election of Bush, stating in the publication, "It was legal ... I got [Bush] 2,000 votes in Florida."

What ever the case I think it’s high time we move on from this as well as the whole “birth certificate” thing and is he [Obama] a citizen or not shit. Bush’s presidency ENDED (in case you didn’t know) four-fucking-years ago and was re-elected in the four years before that, and Obama is fact facing re-election himself.

Although, this can all be a set up because again the state of Florida is basically up for grabs and if there happens to be another close race that somehow goes Mitt “The Twit” Romney’s way these same people will get to have another go around. Making themselves feel important once again.

The Miami Marlins Dropped the Ball

Ah, yes. Once again it appears that one has to take a poll and make sure that they are in consensus with majority of the population before YOU [THEY] can give YOUR [THEIR] opinion.

Case in Point is one again the Ozzie Guillin debacle.

 

I wrote earlier about his little misstep when being interviewed by TIME when he [Guillin] said on how much he loved and respected good old boy and baseball lover, Fidel Castro. Unfortunately for Ozzie [Guillin] is that there is a large portion of Cuba that lives in Miami and lower Florida that are displaced by the man named Castro. However, I don’t think the statement warranted a five game suspension. I don’t think it warranted any truth be told.

Now, I understand that the Florida Marlins have every right to disagree with what Guillen has to say. They even have the right as owners to suspend him because of it. But lets look at the real reason why they did: TICKET SALES. That’s about the long and short of it. The owners of the Marlins were, are, worried about tickets sales dropping because of Guillin’s comments in the press. But I think that they could of really put an end to this problem with a very stern statement saying that: “While everyone has the right to their opinion and have the right to state their opinion it is in the strongest regard that the Marlins association, the team, the management, and all those concerned are in complete disagreement with what Ozzy Guillin was quoted in saying or has to say about anything other than the game of baseball. They are of his beliefs only and do not reflect the opinion of the team or of it’s owners.”

And with that, in MY OPINION, this whole stupid matter would have been swept away like the garbage it is. Now, however, this is going to be debated on everything from local news to world news to the sports world and will rear it’s ugly head at every given chance.

But on a lighter note. You know that the New Orleans Saints are the happiest people in the world right now because this take the focus off of BOUNTY GATE.
