Tampy Bay Times wrote scathing portrayal of Rubio. HOW DID THIS GUY HAVE ANY SUPPORT???

It's frightening someone as empty, non-accomplished and cynically self-serving as Rubio EVER HAD A CHANCE.

Goes to show a "pretty face" gets you half the votes you need, and the rest come out of canned, scripted, empty speeches.

Among the highlights:

-- Rubio left his first-ever elected position, on the West Miami City Commission, after one year to run for the Florida House.

-- He "landed one of 12 highly desired spots" on a post-9/11 Florida Legislature security committee only to miss six out of its 15 meetings.

-- Mike Fasano, a former Florida House majority leader, chose Rubio as one of his whips but says he showed up so rarely to strategy meetings that asking "Where's Rep. Rubio?" became a running joke.

-- Hialeah mayor and GOP "kingmaker" Raúl Martinez, one of the first people Rubio spoke to about becoming speaker of the Florida House, now says he "wouldn't support [Rubio] for dog catcher" because of a broken promise related to school funding.

-- Tony DiMatteo, a Florida Republican who conducted straw polls that gave Rubio's U.S. Senate campaign a crucial early PR boost, says Rubio failed to follow through on his promise to help DiMatteo become party chairman. DiMatteo has already cast a ballot for Trump.

-- A South Florida activist named Joyce Kaufman says Rubio's "lying" and "betrayal"—namely, having run for Senate as a Tea Party hard-liner and then co-sponsored the Gang of Eight immigration bill in Congress—has "cost him greatly."
