Marco Rubio must remove himself from contention for the GOP presidential nomination. He continues to prove that he lacks all qualification to lead our nation. Here is a man who has accomplished nothing, and knows nothing about our government, yet he continues to criticize the president’s foreign policy.

“We have a president who leaves our allies feeling betrayed and our adversaries feeling emboldened,” the first-term Florida senator told a forum sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition.

He continued to lie to the audience in complete denial of former defense secretaries and former intelligent personnel who support President Obama’s efforts to unite with other nations to defeat our enemies. He would place ‘boots on the ground’ in Syria and Iraq, murdering thousands more of our finest and lose another war.

Rubio stressed policy toward Israel throughout his speech, saying that threats to it and the United States “have grown dramatically in recent months,” largely because Obama “has placed his own legacy ahead of our mutual security.”

This comes from a man who places his own ambitions ahead of a work ethic. As he fails as a Senator, he now wants a promotion. I think not.

Friday, on ‘CBS This Morning,’ the junior Senator from Florida voiced his support for the NRA and repeated the party line that no new gun laws should be passed, the second amendment must be protected. This style of rhetoric, telling lies and denying facts, is getting old. People must come first, but when Gayle King asked him if ordinary citizens going to a movie, a church, or taking their children to school should feel safe, he used ‘politicaleze’ to talk around the issue.

Rubio claims that missing 40 percent of the Senate votes is unimportant. He is very wrong. He is making the claim that he is not required to perform the job for which he was elected; he would fail to be a working president. We already had a president who spent more time vacationing than at work.

Rubio is wrong, and wrong for America. Knowledge and experience are important.
