A video mocking U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio as a once presumptive “Republican savior” who devolved into a Donald Trump lickspittle is again making the rounds ahead of Election Day.
The Lincoln Project is re-running the ad, titled “Daddy,” Friday on Fox News affiliate WFLX in West Palm Beach. The ad will then run digitally Sunday during a rally Rubio is holding with Trump at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition Center. It’ll also stream the same day as Gov. Ron DeSantis rallies in Fort Myers.
“We are putting money behind this weekend in a highly targeted way,” Lincoln Project spokesperson Greg Minchak said of the ad, which debuted two weeks ago and has since garnered more than 286,000 views on YouTube alone.
The ad asks and answers, in its own way, the question, “What happened to Marco Rubio?”
“There was a time he was hailed as the Republican savior. Everyone was sure he’d be President. It was only a matter of when,” a voiceover in the video says.
The video then shows a clip of Rubio challenging Trump onstage during one of the Republican presidential debates in 2016, then another of him calling Trump a “con artist.”
“That same con artist crushed Marco in his home state of Florida,” the voiceover says. “Trump broke Marco into little pieces, and he never recovered. And today, he’s just another Trump stooge doing the Mar-a-Lago shuffle, all while begging ‘Daddy Trump’ to love and support his ‘Little Marco.’”
Multiple polls from the last week or so show Rubio leading the Democratic challenger for his seat, U.S. Rep. Val Demings. Some indicate he holds a modest edge among likely voters. Others show him with a more commanding advantage.
Florida Republicans also have cast more ballots so far during the state’s early voting period, a grim development for Democrats hoping to repel a “red wave” of GOP victories.
But according to the Lincoln Project video, Rubio’s campaign is “slipping” because Demings has outraised Rubio in the race and, as of Oct. 31, still had more money in reserve.
It’s not something Rubio has been shy in acknowledging.
“We are being outraised,” Rubio says in the video. “I need people to help me.”
The video narrator’s take: “His dignity (is) all but gone, and every time it seems he’s hit rock bottom, he keeps sinking.”

If Republicans do phoney investigations in Congress then they will be impeached, arrested, have dirty tricks played on them. Trump crime spree investigations are legitimate. Illegitimate, retaliatory investigations will be met with fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen.

He will not be impeached because this is illegal. Must be for high crimes and misdemeanors. He has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor. Your neo nazi bullying tactics won’t work. Retaliation for Trump crime spree investigation will not be tolerated. You people are thugs… street scum.. unworthy of office.

Looks like desperation time from the Democrats as they see the Red Tsunami coming. You have this mean spirited commercial from the so called “Lincoln Project” and you have the View’s Sunny Hostin calling white suburban women that vote Republican cockroaches. Just imagine for a moment if a white person made a statement like that about black people.😜

You’ve shown yourself to be a racist already on this website. Only on the internet buddy because you would be beaten out in the streets.

Hostin did not call women cockroaches! She expressed her opinion that the *behavior* of women voting for Republicans is as self-destructive as the *behavior* of cockroaches voting for Raid would be. It’s the similarity of the *relationship*, and becomes more obvious (to me, anyway) when the terms are reversed: Republicans are to women as Raid is to cockroaches.

“Colored folks” is an outdated, racist term just like the N word. You suffer from ignorance and poor culture. Don’t shoot the messenger because you don’t give a fk.

November 4, 2022 at 5:05 pm
How come when I go to a football game I hear that “N” word tossed around like nothing amongst the people of color? Sorry I offended you by saying “colored folks” you triggered wussy. Should white women be offended by Sunny Hostin referring them as cockroaches?

Black people can say whatever they want to each other. That’s not racist. It might not be the most appropriate way to talk but it’s not racist. How can black people be racist against black people? Do you even know the definition of racism? You people’s never ending whataboutisms are tired.

Tom, Impeach will be doing the Mar A Lago shuffle on Tuesday night, then fight each other for first in line at the gas station for the free gas, and then both will run a victory lap around the pickle ball court.
Rubio has always been a flip flopping worm, and his biggest flip is from geopolitical genius to America Firster isolationist who knows this kind of foreign policy hands the world to China on a silver platter but pivots to it because he’s terrified of Maga voters.
Impeach Biden

Ocean I pay for my fuel. I don’t play pickle ball either. I do stay fit though and pickle ball is for people that can’t move, like yourself obviously with that reference. You are right though in that November 8 will be a glorious day. I have my sample ballot all filled out and will join the Red Tsunami either today or tomorrow in early voting.

Ocean, you were forewarned by the me the legend, 20 months ago, that Gov would win. Rubio too.
The Florida Dems are a laughingstock. What a joke, chameleon, dumings, chair Diaz, n fraud, are pathetic. Miami Dade leaning GOP. GOP leads in early voting, and mail in. Red tide coming!
Your cheap distractions will not get far with me. You have political annihilation coming. I told you Gov may get up to 60%.
Was with Gov yesterday at rally, he’s rocking and on message. Over 1000 in attendance.
Ocean, you can go hide now. Take Joey Corsin with you. Just like peter h is hiding.
Enjoy Tuesday.

Ocean, still waiting for the apology for the George Wallace reference.
Rubio is the best” legislator” in Congress, his macro and micro ability to craft legislation and pass is second to none, Ron Wyden from Oregon is pretty good too. Rubio is a world class Senator. Dumings had nothing passed.
As for you and your despicable George Wallace reference, DeSantis raised families and kids! He opened the school doors, not shuttering them like Charlie, Val, Weingartener and Biden, Harris wanted.
You have no credibility ocean, your cheap shots are legendary. They are nerf darts. I told you Gov may get 60%.
Charlie’s lost to Marco, Scott previous and now highly likely America’s Gov, what a perennial joke loser!
The FP Legend lives on!
