I can't wait until this is turned into an ad.

I know Rubio gets a lot of hate on Atlas, and not all of it is deserved, but... God, he's awful.

So, does he support government assistance to help pay for the care of this child?

Obvious followup question for a reporter to ask.

Since when are Democrats fans of eugenics? Anyway, this is exactly what you'd expect from a pro-life candidate and won't move the needle no matter how much the Democrats talk about it.

El Chico's about to see his career aborted.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Pro-life politician declines to make disingenuous exception for when the child would have this one specific disability, film at eleven.

You guys do realize the vast majority of pregnancies where the mother has the Zika virus don't result in microcephaly, right?

Well tbh i could see Zika being a bludgeoning tool by the Dems.  Ebola helped the gop in 2014 imo

I would think this is close to a 50/50 proposition nationwide (perhaps Florida-wide as well?), not a slam dunk attack for Murphy.  Still, he should have handled it better.

Jesus. I don't know if it's just the fact that I have congenital neurological issues or what, but the fact that there's a thirty-six-point difference is appalling to me.

"Yes. by finally allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines, the child's parents will be able to afford quality health insurance!"
