Marco Rubio is the best candidate

Somehow the Democratic left has come up with a campaign attempting to inundate newspaper columns with statements against Sen. Marco Rubio. They know that their chance of getting a senator elected in Florida all of the sudden is zero.

As an American first and a Cuban American second, I know that it’s important for the future of this great nation that the Republican Party retain the Senate in the upcoming elections. We have never seen a Florida candidate with better credentials than Rubio. And because of this, no matter what the extreme left writes about him, he will continue to be our senator.
