Did anyone really think Rubio would ever vote NO on the tax bill?

[Atman]

Really? You've got to be a total political rube. Rubio is a total opportunist. He got into the headlines, he's now got something to use in his next campaign ads (Marco Rubio fought for YOU!), but there was never, ever a chance that Rubio was actually going to vote against Hair Trumpmeister.

1. Not for one second, but how can they vote unless the full Senate is voting?

Does McConnell hate democracy that much?

I know the answer.

I expect a criminal like mcconnell to try and destroy us, kill us, nothing new there, and Ryan.

what I cant take any longer are the people he is DESTROYING who line up to help him...damn, i just cant and wont get over that ever

[Atman]

5. McConnell knows he'll be dead in a couple of years.

He just doesn't care. He's grabbing all the cash he can now, making sure his kids get to inherit his wealth tax-free. He's a shameless, disgusting...fool? No, he's not a fool. He's a brilliant con man who cares about no one but himself.

2. Oh hell no

little marco is a chicken shit. Sheesh.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. What a fake,he

just wanted face time on Fox. This Guy is all in with this POS Tax Bill.

4. Totally agree

He's trying to have it both ways. With the Puerto Rican infusion into Florida, the state's demos will change, so he needs to start moderating messaging and every now and then give the appearance of being mindful of those less fortunate. As someone else noted, this is all posturing to look fair and balanced with EVERY intention of going along with it in the end. Florida WILL shift purple.

6. I did. I thought he would hold firm and take a principled stand to do the right thing.

Ha ha!!!!

[Chickensoup]

7. Spineless

He pretend to have one, but we all
Know the truth .
His history is one of holding out only
To buckle under.

[Dem2]

8. He just wanted something for his next Presidential run

Everybody knew this was the case.

It's highly unlikely that he wouldn't get it, he may have even negotiated the whole thing before hand, who knows.

9. "Did anyone really think Rubio would ever vote NO on the tax bill"?

Not for one second. He'll do what he's bribed/ordered to, and we can all guess it's never in our best interests.

[MiniMe]

10. Always knew he would vote yet.

Almost strained my eyes rolling them when I heard he was "thinking" about a no

11. Will Corker be the only holdout? None of the others appear to care about the deficit.

[Drunken Irishman]

12. No. Coker will vote for the bill.

[Joe941]

13. i still believe someone will step up to defeat the rePukes tax bill.
