Rubio apparently doesn't understand how elections work

Marco Rubio promoted a Seth Rich truther to allege Democrats are trying to "steal a seat in the U.S. Senate."

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) used to be viewed as a serious politician.

“THE REPUBLICAN SAVIOR,” proclaimed a February 2013 cover of Time Magazine featuring the Florida Republican.

During Rubio’s failed 2016 presidential bid, in which he finished fourth in the Republican primary behind now-President Donald Trump ($$), Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), and Gov. John Kasich (OH), he was praised as being a “moderate” candidate despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Fast-forward five years and the notion the Florida senator was a moderate seems a distant memory. Rubio has voted with Trump — who he once called a “con man” — over 96 percent of the time. That’s a higher rate than Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell (KY), Tom Cotton (AR), Chuck Grassley (IA), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Cruz.

What small vestige remains of the Sunshine State’s junior senator’s independence from Trump typically only shows up on Twitter. But Thursday, Rubio took a break from using Bible verses to subtweet the president to suggest, with no real evidence, that something fishy was going on with the counting of votes in Florida’s Senate race between Sen. Bill Nelson (D) and Gov. Rick Scott (R).

Skeletor is claiming liberals are rigging the system against him. If that were the case than how come they allowed him to be governor twice?!
Scott is full of shit!
