“Paying it forward” is an expression in DC Circles that describes what is expected of fledgling politicos in Congress once they assume office- essentially it means that politcos should extend the same courtesy and support to other up-and-coming candidates that was extended to them.  But while Republican Senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul have taken the lead in supporting candidates in key races  across the country, Senator Marco Rubio is taking a more cautious and invisible approach to these national races.

Senator Jim DeMint recently defended Rubio by saying that there shouldn’t be so much pressure put on him in his first term in office. DeMint spoke glowingly of Rubio in our interview, saying that he was working for the party across the nation, and that he could be a great ‘unifier’ for the party.
