What If Rubio Becomes President And Then Hates That Job Too?

This is interesting:

“That’s why I’m missing votes. Because I am leaving the Senate. I am not running for reelection,” Rubio said in the last Republican debate, after Donald Trump had mocked him for his unusual number of absences during Senate votes.

With regard to his job as a senator, the Washington Post reports that a "longtime friend" of Rubio stated that "he hates it." 

For the last few weeks, I've been thinking that Rubio had the best shot at the GOP nomination for president, particularly given that Jeb's candidacy is fading fast (and I still find it hard to believe that Republicans really want either Trump or Carson to be their nominee). But needless to say, Rubio is going to have a tough time spinning this one to make it look like he's not a quitter. At least that other famous Republican quitter -- half-term governor Sarah Palin -- announced after the presidential election that she was leaving her job.

What I like about this particular mess is that the gridlock which Rubio apparently hates can be traced to a group of people who also don't do their jobs, namely, the Tea-Baggers in Congress.  The big difference, of course, is that the Baggers went into politics to destroy government, whereas Rubio apparently wanted to get things done.

Anyway, I guess the Baggers can put another Republican head on their mantel.
