Florida Republicans: Rubio betrayed Jeb by running for president

Florida’s Republican political establishment is none too happy with the upstart Sen. Marco Rubio and his presumptuous attempt to rob his state’s former governor of the presidential nomination that is his due.

The Tampa Bay Times political reporter Adam Smith published an interesting post on Friday featuring the results of an informal survey of over “130 savvy Florida political players,” and he found that the vast majority believe Jeb Bush is much better positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton in Florida than Rubio.

“More than 78 percent of our Florida Insiders said Bush would be the stronger candidate against Clinton in Florida,” Smith wrote. But even this post’s author acknowledges that these unscientific results should be taken with a grain of salt because “our survey sample loaded with people who have previously worked for Gov. Bush or are currently actively supporting him.”

Do you mean inexperienced, like the current Pres? If so, I wholeheartedly agree.

Seven years in the job. Pretty experienced by now.

And that's precisely why it is an experience not to be repeated.

Bush was worse imo, certainly the worst president in my lifetime

The Obama administration seems to have been defined largely by its response to the economic recession, an experience which isn't dissimilar from other Western governments.

One can think about Hillary whatever one wants but she isn't even in the same ballpark as the other three on your list. She is a credible candidate. The other guys are jokes.

No, she isn't even remotely credible.

Despite all the work the Democrat machine may put in to shine her resume, she has zero credibility, is a proven liar and has questionable ethics and morals.

Her only advantages she has are that the country already knows this and she's still the Democrats preferred choice. When compared to the current Republican candidates, it's certainly a case of the you know.

Despite all that, she's the candidate to beat. And these Republican rookies you listed along with her don't have what it takes to do that. Not even close.

Doesn't speak highly of the Democrat Party, or the people who vote that way, though, does it?

The political system in this country is garbage. How else could you have a minority party with such comfortable majorities in so many legislative bodies across the nation?
