Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are butting heads over Rubio's Senate attendance record. The tensions between the two Floridians boiled over at last Wednesday's GOP debate, when Bush said Rubio should either be present for his Senate votes or simply resign. Rubio came away from the controversy largely unscathed, and Bush's self-admitted subpar debate performance has caused some to openly wonder if his campaign has staying power.
Flash back to just five years ago, when Rubio was first elected to Congress, and Bush introduced the senator-elect with praise and admiration that he has, for obvious reasons, not expressed on the campaign trail this year.
"Marco Rubio makes me cry for joy ...because this is a great country and we need great leaders that inspire us to lift the cloud up above us so that we can be better and do better," Bush said. "...We need principle-centered leaders that inspire us to solve our problems."

I think I might vomit.
Yikes!!
Jeb is sounding more and more like that guy you make sure stays the hell away from your kids.
Jeb has had several GHW Bush looking-at-his-watch moments during these debates. It is time to drop out, and go make guacamole.
He used to cry for joy. Now he cries because it hurts so good.
Ay, caramba!
>> It is time to drop out, and go make guacamole.
Cool thing to do!
I’m beginning to suspect Yeb! is a Pajama Boy.
I’m not a fan of either one, but I do agree about candidates who are hired to the House or Senate and neglect their duties to run for a “better” position. And, Marco is an opportunist, and will stab anyone in the back to get where he’s going and where the money pushers want him to go. Bush is no different in that respect, but I do think it’s wrong for them to miss important votes in Congress. That doesn’t excuse McCain and Kerry either. JMO of course.
He makes him as happy as a little girl.
Im using that. ...too funny.
Like any other job, they should be expected to show up for work.
And I agree Rubio does not appear to have a principled bone in his body. He’s merely following the money.
“we need great leaders that inspire us to lift the cloud up above us so that we can be better and do better,”

He’s just plain weird.
Jeb Bush forced to drop out of the race might make me cry for joy. Obama leaving office in disgrace, replaced by a patriot who reveres the Constitution would make me...uh, I’d better not say it on a family friendly site.
Jed is a f.ing weirdo.
