Marco Rubio just got dunked on

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

Marco Rubio — otherwise known as Senator do-nothing — has once again made a fool of himself. As you know, Rubio is up for reelection this year. And he’s having an extremely difficult time of it. The reason for Rubio’s angst can be summed up in two glittering words: Val Demings.

Demings is running against little Marco, and so far, she’s knocking it out of the park. Recent polls have shown her behind by only two points — a bitter pill for Rubio to swallow.

And so now Rubio, flailing wildly, and struggling to retain his seat, has lashed out at Demings, accusing her of being — wait for it — soft on crime.

There is a problem with this non-logic, however. Demings is a former Police Chief. This was an extremely poor strategy for Rubio to focus on, but I suppose one makes do when one doesn’t have anything else.

Rubio accused Demings of being soft on crime and implied Demings would like to see Florida become more like California or New York. I suppose Rubio thinks “California and “New York” are bad little words to some Floridians. Rubio also declared many states in America have become “deranged.”

Wow — I wonder which states Rubio is talking about. Could they be blue states? Hmm. Rubio also accused Demings of turning her back on Law Enforcement. Like Rubio has done so much for them? I have yet to hear Rubio acknowledge the pain of the Officers who fought the insurrectionists on January 6.

Of course, Demings let him have it. And her comments were dazzling. Here is what she said: “For him to suggest – the lifelong politician Marco Rubio – that I have turned my back on the men and women that I – while Marco Rubio was home in his bed sleeping – that I helped to go respond to some dark, scary places, dealing with some dark, dangerous people, scary people, for him to suggest that I turned my back on law enforcement is just an indication of how desperate he is.”

Wow! What a confident, dazzling mic drop that was! Demings is an extraordinary woman with an incredible backstory. And Rubio? Well, he’s asleep at the wheel. And that is where he will stay because his futile and sad musings are getting him nowhere, and it seems he knows that.
