(30,247 posts)58. No, that's not so.
It was the state legislature who pushed the move. Republicans held the majority.
Here's Rubio's take on this (he was the Speaker at the time).
We have people who get invited to a big party where they drop a balloon and people wear funny hats, said Marco Rubio, speaker of the State House of Representatives. But they dont have any role to play.
At the end of the day, said Mr. Rubio, a Republican, the truth of the matter is that the nominee of either party is going to want to make sure they have not offended the big donors and the biggest activists in the most important state in the country that is electorally available.
