Ultraconservative website The Minority Report is saying that 2016 GOP Presidential candidate Marco Rubio has been involved in a long-term extramarital affair with a female lobbyist, and that the woman will come forward this week to announce the relationship.
According to the website:
Details of the forthcoming scandal are not yet clear, although the allegation involving Rubio and the female lobbyist is reportedly being leaked to multiple mainstream media outlets this week.
All the operative would say was that the woman was identified by researchers during a deep dive into Rubios disastrous personal finances.
The allegations of an affair have also been reported by The Political Insider and have been hinted at for months now among those who cover the Rubio campaign.
The Florida Senator has been rising in recent polls, but revelations of an affair could well spell the end of the Rubio 2016 effort.
Whether or not these rumors prove to be true, there is evidence that a PAC aligned with Rubio has already spent in excess of $40,000 trying to debunk repeated whispers that the Senator has a zipper problem and not only has a mistress, but also a love child.

(10,274 posts)He's done.
The lunatics who are willing to vote for a Trump or a Carson or a Cruz view him as an Establishment threat, will want him out of the running, and will push this as far as they can.
Unlike a Bush (who is doing a first-rate job of kicking himself out of the election anyway lol) Marco won't have the money and doesn't have the political acumen to fight this for any longer than a week after the next debate.
I'll be looking for Cruz to move up in the polls a bit, but since I still think he's gunning to be Trumps VP pick, he won't push it as hard as he could...All men are frail, all men can get forgiveness in Jebus, the dirty liberal media shouldn't air out a forgiven man's dirty laundry, blah, blah, blah, etc, ad nasuem.
all that Good Jazz and Usual Bullshit.

(31,856 posts)That was a string rumor this past summer - but no hint as to who it was. Just that it was.
I hope she doesn't come forward until January. The bet I made expires then - I'm going to lose $100. I bet on it being Trump.

I was blown away when I was down in Georgia on vaca in the summer of 2008 and I saw John Edwards on tv confessing to having the affair.
Thinking of all those Edwards supporters on DU.. you know how heavy we get into our primary fights.
