COMMENTS:
* Rubio is a phony career politician who will say anything to get his behind into the Whitehouse to live it up on us
* How does the Washington insider claim outside status? Easy! Just don't go to work to do the work you were elected to do. How does that lack of work ethic qualify you for the Presidency, Marco? No is the vote from this Registered Republican.
* A typical conservative lackey that hates government but sure wants the paycheck and benefits the job brings. Oh! And they don't want to actually work for the pay and benefits...
* He will not work for the American people. If he couldn't care less about the people who put him in the Senate, what makes anyone think he would work for you in the Oval Office? Humm? Lets think about that? Big money donors are controlling this puppet. He's not mature enough to hold this position.
* I had already decided I would never vote for Rubio because of his stance on amnesty for illegals. But, if that hadn't been the case, he would have lost my vote forever with his failing to even show up and attempt to vote against that outrageous budget bill.
So long, Marco.* It is time to make it law that if you want to run for another office while still in your voted office you have to give it up to run.

Marco Rubio Voting History: Here's a Look at His Senate Attendance
By Kathleen Wong, December 28, 2015
In the continuing GOP battle, Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski threw Florida Sen. Marco Rubio under the bus for missing December's government spending bill vote, according to BuzzFeed. Rubio publicly criticized the $1.1 trillion bill, but was one of two senators to miss the vote, NBC reported.
Rubio announced his candidacy in April. Since January 2011, he's missed 197 of 1,482 roll call votes, 13.3% overall, GovTrack.us found. That gives him the not-so-coveted title for the worst voting attendance for any senator for this year, CNN reported. His peak of absence is from October to December, where he missed 58.2% of votes, according to GovTrack.us.
"You've got a member of the U.S. Senate who is running for president who didn't even have the courtesy to show up and make a vote on the budget," Lewandowski said, according to BuzzFeed.
Rubio defended himself on CBS' Face the Nation, saying, "In essence, not voting for it is a vote against it," according to NBC. He previously said that his campaign keeps him too busy to hit the Senate floor, reminding everyone that he's not just on vacation, according to CNN.
In February, Rubio's office released a statement saying, "He is one of the only senators with young children who has not moved his family to D.C., and tries to spend as much time in Florida with them as possible."
People and the other GOP candidates have taken no mercy on pointing out Rubio's attendance record, ABC reported. "Marco, when you signed up for this, this was six-year term," fellow GOP candidate Jeb Bush said in the October Republican debate. "And you should be showing up to work."
Rubio's absence even has its own hashtag, #NoShowMarco, of those outraged by his voting record.
Phoning in sick worked for Ferris... https://vine.co/v/eYvwKmwhKWzThe most recent votes from Rubio occurred on Dec. 3, where he said no to the Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act of 2015 and Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2015, but said yes to Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act of 2015 and the Defend Our Capital Act of 2015, data from Vote Smart found.
Following Rubio's poor attendance record is Sen. Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton, GovTrack.us found. Previously running presidential candidates also had weak voting attendances, according to the Washington Post. John Kerry and even Barack Obama had poor attendance while running for president.
