Florida nightclub massacre prompts Rubio to reconsider political future

By David Morgan
June 13, 2016

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, who announced his retirement from the Senate after ending his Republican presidential bid in March, said on Monday he would reconsider his future after being urged to seek re-election in the aftermath of the Orlando nightclub massacre.

The Florida Republican told radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview that the worst mass shooting in U.S. history "most certainly has impacted my thinking in general, at least, about a lot of things." But Rubio said he has not considered the rampage from a political perspective.

"When it visits your home state, when it impacts a community you know well, it really gives you pause to think a little bit about your service to your country and where you can be most useful to your country," Rubio said.

"My family and I will be praying about all this and we'll see what I need to do next with my life in regards to how I can best serve."

1. In other words

What happened in Orlando has NO bearing on his deciding to run again,
because he probably could give a crap about GLBT's or people in general
(because of the way he votes)...
or because Trump made him his bitch.
or In other words the Price was Right.
I hope he loses big time.

2. "...need to do with my life..."???

5. What a hypocritical a-hole

He couldn't care less about anyone but himself. If it were up to him, that club wouldn't even be allowed to exist.

8. Lil Marco

9. What a fucking tool.

How transparent can you possibly get? Go away, Marco.

10. Little Marco's Crocodile Tears

will make it all better boys and girls

Pray with Marco, and send a check!

The suffering is immeasurable

Wonder what the financial cost of this tragedy is?

50 dead, mostly young, lost lives and incomes
50 wounded, reduced incomes and incapacities
Health care for all survivors
Funerals for the rest
Law enforcement and first responders
Anguish of many Americans
Television crews and coverage
Newspaper and online coverage
Transportation for all involved

I'm thinking $1 million lost income each for the 103 people
Plus all the rest

I'd say I'd start an estimate at $300 million and ratchet up quickly

To say nothing of the trauma, heartbreak, tears, and raw pain, and reduced
incomes and lives for those family members

Marco's got some 'splaining to do if he thinks his pea brain can fix any part of it
