Rubio Supporters Vent Their Frustration

Sen. Marco Rubio might be rethinking his endorsement of Mitt Romney about now. Yesterday, Rubio posted a couple items to his Facebook page, which had nothing whatsoever to do with Romney. The first was a video explaining the importance of repealing Obamacare. It was posted around 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. At first the comments were about Obamacare and the thread was a veritable Rubio love-fest:
Barbara Bannon DeNapoli Hobbs Keeping up the good work for your State of Florida and for the Citizens of the USA. We appreciate all that you have done, are doing, and will do in the future. Bless you Marco Rubio.

Wednesday at 19:36 ·  ·  2
Jose Heinsen Future American President right there, mark my words....
Wednesday at 19:43 · 

Alison Fleming Mr Vice President!! And in 8 years Mr President - I can only hope, pray, wish!!!
Wednesday at 21:35 ·  ·  2
Then, suddenly, during Hannity's show, as Rubio is making his announcement to endorse Romney, the tone changed. No more VP talk:

  • Ruth Saldana Rohr Bought by the establishment Marco, huh? I thought you were bold and fresh. Lost respect for you. Latinas for Santorum!!
    Wednesday at 21:47 ·  ·  8


  • Ruth Saldana Rohr How much did RINO Romney pay you? What did he promise you?
    Wednesday at 21:47 ·  ·  12


  • Joe Butner Marco Rubio, You have damaged your brand by supporting a Democrat like Mitt Romney, who always seems to struggle to tell the truth. I thought you were smarter than this! I am extremely disappointed in you. You should have never endorsed Etch a Sketch. He can NOT beat Obama!
    Wednesday at 22:01 ·  ·  11

  • Chris Crosby Marco, you just committed political suicide right before out TEA Party eyes!!!
    How you can profess that O'CommieCare must be repealed, then endorse the GodFather of it [DNS's words, not mine] is beyond my comprehension... Very, very disappointed in you...
    Wednesday at 22:02 ·  ·  15

  • Karen Sanders Bill Clinton is more conservative than Mitt Romney. What the heck are you thinking?
    Wednesday at 22:10 ·  ·  10
The thread weighed in at 248 comments, most of them complaining about Rubio's decisions to endorse Romney. Then on Thursday, Rubio posted a message in support of Ohio senate candidate, Josh Mandel:

Marco Rubio Just 2 days left and we have reached 58% of goal! Support Reclaim America PAC in its efforts to raise $20,000 to help elect Josh Mandel to the United States Senate. https://donate.reclaimamericapac.com/josh-mandel/
Unfortunately for Mandel, this message was lost in the 161 comments, almost of all of them expressing anger, disappointment, and rage at the endorsement. The most commonly used words were RINO, establishment, disappointed, and money.

I removed a few of the comments that were either off topic or used "salty" language, but pasted most of them below. Notice how few of them support this endorsement (you can also count the 'likes').  Many of them make reference to the Tea Party and express their sense of betrayal that their guy could do something like this. More than a few think there is money involved.

Whatever you think about this endorsement, I think we can all agree with the comment above that said Rubio has damaged his "brand" with this move. For all his lofty, Reaganesque speeches, the curtain has now been pulled back and we see that the Wizard of Oz is really a politician,  just like most of the rest of them.

On some level, at least to me, this disappointment is a little more profound because the Florida GOP and Charlie Christ played this same establishment extermination game against Rubio in 2010. He understands the game better than most and is willingly playing for the E-Team now.


History will tell if Rubio, the shrewd politician, risked too much with this endorsement. For the sake of the country, I hope his instincts are right this time. For now, his constituents and fans don't think so.

    • Mary Snyder-Nava I was never a fan of boehner and my previous posts in 2010 show this. I called his office and asked if he was being blackmailed. Honestly, I think all of them are. On Alex Jones show, yesterday, if you can believe Robert (Bob) Fletcher, he bears out my suspicions. saying, in part, 'writing to your congressman is comedy' to them. i might agree as when the non establishment people were sent to the House, the establ. about had a cow. The newbies hadn't been 'compromised' yet and could not be controlled.

Get over yourselves and look to the greater goal! Can you actually say any of the nominees are the perfect candidate or who you wanted to be running? I can't. Senator Rubio sees that having this thing drag out to August is a bad thing for our party and our chances of defeating Obama. We can not afford another 4 years of obama executive ordering his way through with the opportunity to destroy this country for a lifetime by appointing 2-3 more supreme court justices. I will happily, Contribute, Senator. I also hope you are tapped for the VP nominee and I hope you accept!

    • Stephanie Brown Get real, Adam! Also, Romney does have a conservative record. He was able to balance the MA state budget with an 86% dem legislature w/out raising taxes! He understands the difference between states rights and fed rights... If ultra conservative Ann Coulter can not only come around and support Gov Romney, but also right all about the good things he has done, then I can too. He knows how to turn over a failing business - and YES that means shutting down departments and cutting costs! He is the right man at the right time. We can keep him on the right by sending reinforcements to the Senate so conservative bills get sent to the Presidents desk.

    • Catherine Walker I vote according to my core convictions which I thought you shared. The GOP doesn't speak for me. Get the message: "We Don't Want Romney!" But, thank you for showing who you really are...it will be good to know the next time I vote. a Floridian Conservative.

    • Connie Kanakanake Ledford I hope that Floridians remember all the "outsiders" who got elected for NOT being establishment and then endorsed the Boston RINO lib Romney. Remember them when they come up again for elections ... Rubio, Atwater, Bondi, etc ...

    • Corlana McCartney Can't believe you sold out to RINO Romney. What a waste. I'm "unliking" your page. Santorum 2012 Rick Santorum is a genuine conservative.

    • Mitch Feldman I lost a lot of respect for you, if you are a true Conservative how could you endorse a liberal like Romney over Santorum.

    • Julie Schwartz I've lost all respect for you. How could you turn your back on the Tea Party, which elected you? I bet you're hoping to be Mitt's VP, and that's why you endorsed him. Shame on you.

    • Jeff Morgan Thanks, but I will NOT be supporting this. Maybe Josh is tremendous, but after that horrific Romney endorsement of yoursm all other endorsements are suspect.

    • Lynn Metzger I was so proud to see your speech at the SBA dinner a very good one too..and I had hoped you would endorse the people's choice (Rick Santorum) instead of the media choice (Romney)...Romney is not as well liked by the people and I"m sure you think you are helping...however, look at the voting map...go watch Rick Santorum campaign...I would LOVE to see you be his running mate...but alas, I am very, very disappointed in your choice of endorsement. I will be voting for Rick Santorum for many reasons...the one being he is a true conservative who lives out his conservative values and we the people trust him...he wins way more counties than Romney does in every state primary! I really hope you change your mind b/c many Santorum supporters are disappointed in your choice.

    • Hyam Solomon to the extent Romney is capable of focus perhaps Camille . Not acceptable . Romney is always a half shaken etch a sketch . He is cluelessly naive and has the sincerity of McCain , the last RINO king . . Booo Marco .

    • Briana Sams I sure don't know where you folks get off calling Santorum a conservative. He likes raising taxes as much as Mitt. The only true conservative (documented proof) in this race is Newt Gingrich. I'm still not over my shock and disappointment with Mr. Rubio. But I've seen a few people flip as well that really shocked me.

    • Karla Jerry AndSons I saw you on TV a while back saying that you do not believe in Endorsements, that you think that the people need to make the choices, I thought, wow ,there is smart man. Now you come with this late endorsement???? Anyone endorsing at this point is just to please the establishment. The plan right now is to put pressure on the candidates so you can close the deal for Romney. If you had endorsed before the Florida vote, it would had been fine. Right now, you are just proving that you are more for the republican party than for the people.

    • Shirley Ramsey So...why would he NOT support Mitt Romney...I know, when this all started "everyone" was more conservative...as it turns out and the true stories come out, turns out Gov. Romney is the most conservative...and HONEST!!! Honesty and experience are great virtues, he has been highly successful at EVERY endeavor in his lifetime...It' time people got over whatever the heck bothers them about Romney (stupid stuff like "he doesn't connect", Rich, Mormon, etc. and look at his CREDENTIALS!!! Much better than the other two who have LIVED off their DC Cronies since QUITTING and Being VOTED OUT!! Take the time to actually READ about Romney...not just repeat what you "heard"!!

    • Jeff Dimmick So sorry to hear that you are endorsing the truly non-conservative candidate Mitt Romney. Many of us had hoped that you would take a stand against the GOP country club establishment and the main stream media's choice Mitt. You promised in the past not to become a part of the Washington "establishment", but by your endorsement you have compromised your principles. If Mitt does in fact become the GOP candidate you will watch a repeat of 2008 and wish that you had stood beside a true conservative instead!
