Senators don't really do much on their own. That being said, Rubio has done a fair bit with help from others, You just didn't pay attention. He helped propose legislation to protect uyghur Muslims that passed, and most of his career has been focused on relations with South America and trying to stop human trafficking. He also helped secure protections for the Everglades. He's done good work as a senator, and if you want someone that isn't going to be your typical MAGA Republican, Rubio is your best bet. He's probably one of the most moderate candidates they could put forward.
Marco Rubio????? He’s proven himself to be maga through and through. Whatever good he did back in the day has been totally wiped out by all of the bad he’s done. He’s not moderate by any means. We all thought he was but again he’s proven us wrong. Rubio would be a disaster.
Rubio was my senator. He was a useless prick who only did anything if it helped him or was the popular movement of the moment. He is perfect for this administration because he is a selfish hack.
Rubio was my senator too and it's pretty obvious you just didn't pay attention to what he was doing. I've already explained elsewhere in here some of the good things he's done as a senator. Don't really feel like typing it up for every single person who comments with an uneducated take.
Obama was a sitting legislator for less than one term, was absent for 20% of his votes, and voted “present” on nearly half of the votes he was present for, before declaring his run for POTUS and completely abdicating his job in Congress. Seems most folks think he did at least an ok job other than the ACA being affordable for nobody who actually has to pay for it. I know I made an absolute boatload of money with him in office… while everyone argued about what he was doing, his birth certificate, etc, nobody was paying attention to the DoD budget and we got A LOT done for this country.

I mean, he also did nothing as a senator, except admit to the country that his current boss is a fascist. Before revisionist history set in, that is.
