He's raiding his retirement accounts to fund day-to-day expenses.

And his wife accepted a $54,000-a-year part-time job to advise a charity belonging to a wealthy political benefactor of her husband's - that only actually gave out $250 in charity while spending $150,000 on travel expenses.

I will be having my last laugh some time later this year or early next year when he implodes in spectacular fashion. I've been warning of this for some time.

Rubio has some skeletons in his closet that would more likely than not come tumbling out and allow him to implode in spectacular 2012-style fashion. He's too much of an unknown quantity.

If [Romney] chooses Rubio, there's a significant chance it could blow up in his face. This is a guy who hasn't been vetted ... and has financial problems (underwater on his mortgage, tons of student loan debt) that could indicate some more skeletons in his closet.

Is the 2016 Republican primary field the most corrupt assortment of candidates for a major party's nomination in United States history? It's hard to say which of this embarrassing and depraved gaggle of crooks is the most crooked.

We all know it, sooner or later, Marco Rubio is going down in flames.

Yeah. Unless people are going to vote for him in droves simply because he's Hispanic, I don't see how he wins the GE.

Rubio has always had money problems, and skated on rather thin ice in dealing with the squeeze. This is not the first example of something he's done that while maybe legal, may not pass the smell test.

At least he's not Lindsey Graham, who's going to come crashing out of the closet himself.

Change you color to Dem. If youre an example of a NY GOPer no wonder why the party cant break 33%.

The party cannot break 33% because the upstate has lost population big time, and both the upstate and NY surbubs quit voting 60% Republican in statewide races.

Are Hispanic voters attracted to corrupt politicians, even allegedly their own? I see no evidence of such.

In any event, Marco Rubio is the wrong sort of Hispanic to win the Hispanic vote in New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, or Arizona -- let alone California.
