When pressed during a CNN interview about why he thinks federal workers should be fired for not doing their jobs while he has missed the most votes in the Senate, Sen. Marco Rubio put his foot in his mouth and said that voting in the Senate is not important for a Senator. Other Senators running for president (Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders) have only missed 10 votes while Rubio has missed 59. Rubio wants to be in the Senate so that he can run for president, but he appears to have no interest in doing his job as a Senator. His lack of commitment to the people who elected him is the reason he doesn’t deserve to be in the Senate, much less be considered a serious contender for the White House.

"There's no dispute that we now live in a hyper-connected, globalized world--but plenty of argument over the type of globalization that's best for our collective future. In this timely work, Rob Kall makes a persuasive case for 'trickle-up' globalization from below and that the truest, best, and most long-lasting fundamental change always comes from the bottom up. Read this bookthen act on it!"
