Rubio’s single reason for being a darling of some republicans is that he is a “person of color”.

The US has gone into racial politics, pure and simple.

I think you mean ‘is that he can get votes from people of color’.

Rubio looks pretty white to me, which makes me skeptical of his magic appeal in that regard. No doubt he would go over better with them than Romney did, but who couldnt?
