Marco Rubio is hot again.
The junior senator from Florida is in the midst of a comeback, fueled by a self-assured stand against easing relations with Cuba, some savvy campaigning in Iowa and a meeting that impressed well-heeled donors.
He still faces a daunting path to the White House. Voters in his own state would rather he seek a second Senate term in 2016. He’s no longer the only bright young Republican star in the field. And he continues to come under fire for a shift on immigration, particularly from the Latino community that Republicans want to woo.
Rubio seems unbothered by all this as he inches back to being one of the post-baby boomer political stars, a status given him when he came to Washington four years ago. Political guru Karl Rove dubbed him “the best communicator since Ronald Reagan.” By February 2013, Rubio was on Time magazine’s cover, hailed as “The Republican Savior.”
Days later, Rubio’s awkward lunge for a water bottle during a State of the Union response speech was a communications disaster.
“Don’t worry, Sen. Rubio. Nobody noticed that you gave a speech,” said Stephen Colbert on his Comedy Central show....

Yeah, maybe he could intern there, or somethin’.
He would love that.
Anything he can do to please the elite masters.
Rubio’s foot will enter Rubio’s mouth many times in the coming months
I would take him over any dimoKKKRAT.
He faces no path to the Whitehouse.
He’s running for Jeb Bush’s VP pick. He’ll drop out early and support Bush.
There is no way I would ever vote for either of these clowns.
Best Marco stay in the Senate and gain some more maturity, particularly in respect of his stance on immigration!
If Jeb’s poll numbers continue to be as dismal as they are right now, I won’t be shocked if some of his backers start jumping to team Rubio by the summer. It’s hard to find a path for him as things currently stand.
Rubio still has the stench on his shoes from stepping into the Gang. He can thank McCain and Schumer for derailing his political aspirations beyond the Senate.
Actually, he is a dim bulb that is having congress with the forces of darkness.
He can’t be Bush’s VP, they are both from Florida.
Indeed.
I stand with Ted
He caved so fast on the Guliani situation it was pitiful. He bugs me.
He already exposed himself as a RINO. So, need not apply. Thank you for your call.
What do you expect when the topic is Rubio? Maybe DSW can give him a run for his money to keep his senate seat! Two losers to duke it out.
You think the Constitution matters to these bozos? Jeb will just move to Texas before the election.
No he’s not.
Rubio: Obama-like gravitas, or the quiet dignity of a simple zoo chimp trying to **** a football.
LOL, OK whatever you say! (not you, vet)
