Rubio and Rand should campaign in an ice cream van together. Summer of love for amnesty.
“He’s like a melted carvel that was left in the August sun.”
Like it or not the model for successful GOP Presidential nominees is Romney, McCain, Bush Jr, Dole, Bush Sr, Reagan, Nixon, Goldwater.
His dad's brand needed a lot of expanding if he's going to get on that list.
Really only Reagan jumps out as a successful conservative from that list.
The most conservative candidates don't win the nomination, and neither do the most libertarian. The "most electable" middle of the road types do.
This is why I have been suggesting that FR try to coalesce early around someone if we don't want Jeb, Rubio or Fatso being our Nominee. Any of those three would fit right into the above list, and add to the list of nominee-losers in my estimation.
My sense is that Ted Cruz is the current favorite of a lot of Freepers. (And Palin, of course.)
Rubio’s getting better….Rand much worse. They’re going in opposite directions.
