Every other senator running for president &#8212; Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, you &#8212; managed to vote on this budget deal.  Marco Rubio didn\u2019t.  What\u2019s with the absence?<\/p>\n<p>CRUZ:  Well, listen, I\u2019ll let Marco defend his own voting record.  What I\u2019ve tried to do is every day honor the promise that I made to the men and women who elected me.  So that has been &#8212; you look at this omnibus deal, this was a betrayal.  It was disgraceful.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_115643\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rbio-585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Oh, cool.  Well, hey, let\u2019s open those up.  I mean, you\u2019re just making more work for me if you just leave those there in the boxes.  Well, the five FedEx things just showed up and they brought \u2019em in here and they left \u2019em in the boxes.  Here, hang on a minute.  Take this. Here, it\u2019s a box cutter, bammo, there it is.  Oops.  Good catch. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Okay.  I have been thinking about the campaign Rubio is running.  (interruption)  What are you laughing at?  I was not being disrespectful.  I don\u2019t have time here to play nice.  I\u2019m in the middle of a radio program and somebody says, &#8220;Here are the boxes.&#8221;  Well, big whoop, a lot of good that does me, they\u2019re not opened.  I have to have the box cutter for somebody else to use, exactly. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the Rubio campaign &#8212; you know, people are talking about the fact he missed the vote, that he\u2019s not on the ground in a lot of these places, that he\u2019s not showing up, he\u2019s not doing the usual retail political campaign, and yet he\u2019s doing okay. And the theory is that it\u2019s a new day, it\u2019s a new era, what with online expanding, that the need to press the flesh is not nearly what it used to be with all the YouTube videos and everything else that you can do.  But, essentially, what they have concluded, some of these analysts have concluded, what Rubio is actually doing is running a national campaign already rather than a series of primary campaigns. <\/p>\n<p>And I stopped, you know what, I can see that.  That makes some sense, and that it\u2019s an active strategy.  They\u2019re trying to say Rubio is not serious, he\u2019s lazy, and others, no, no, no, it\u2019s not that, this is a new kind of campaign he\u2019s running.  And missing the vote, so forth, \u2019cause of the way it was gonna go, it was gonna go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Mark Steyn sat in for Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel last night, had Ted Cruz on, and they had this little back and forth going on.
