The thing is, there's nothing illegal about that, and if that was a factor in banishing him from Twitter, or any other social media platform, then I'd like to know when other nut jobs on the left are going to suffer similar consequences.  Hell, the entire lineup at MSNBC is just as deluded as Jones is, so should we expect to see them banished to guerrilla tactics like this nonsense to get air time?

I liked Rubio and supported his senatorial bid.  I had a chance to meet him when he was an unknown candidate speaking to crowds of 10-15 people.  It was clear the guy had the polish and grasp of issues to be a serious candidate, and when he won the senate seat, it was a rewarding outcome.  However, since getting into the senate, he has quickly evolved into just another politician.  After running on immigration reform as part of his platform, his decision to join in with the gang of 8 to basically provide blanket amnesty really was disappointing.  That was the beginning of a string of instances where Marco pretty much sold out for a seat at the table.  

He's still a good guy, but I think that as time progresses, he becomes more and more of a puppet for the establishment.

My thoughts exactly.  I really liked Rubio during the primaries, but he's basically become "one of them", that being part of the establishment (aka the swamp).

Everyone in Washington is awful.  I don't want the democratic social party to gain power that is for sure but jeez these Republicans have no principals.  Everything they run on is just lip service when they come back home.  You get to Washington and they throw a file on your new desk with everything in your life and you start towing the line.

I got a through probing when I joined the Navy.  You hear jokes about them talking to Kindergarten teachers and it is a laugh but they are just about that thorough. In the age of social media it is much easier to investigate individuals.

One of my podcast suggested Rubio should have said, "I know who you are Bill Hicks".
