Didn't Rubio initially get elected in 2010 by vacuuming up donations from Tea Party groups and calling himself "the first Senator from the Tea Party"? Whatever happened with that? And why was he re-elected so easily in 2016 given his betrayal? Was there seriously nobody better in the entire state of Florida to serve as senator?

Same with Ted Cruz in 2012. Wolves in Tea Party clothing.

He initially declared he wasn’t running for reelection in 2016 as he went “all in” for the Presidency. Of course, with Trump’s entry, his “all in” started to move back to hedging his bets. Actual Conservative Congressman Ron DeSantis was running for the seat, as was RINO David Jolly. When it became readily apparent Rubio would not be the Presidential nominee, the party apparatus all but begged him to run for a 2nd term, which forced out the declared Congressmembers into running for reelection.

The GOPe put up multiple candidates to split the primary voter enough for Rubio to come out on top leaving us Floridians in the terrible position of voting for Rubio or a communist RAT.
