Marco Rubio blasted Rand Paul but said Jeb Bush would be a credible candidate if the former Florida governor decides to run for president.
On ABC's "This Week," Florida's Republican senator said he had not decided whether to seek the White House in 2016.
"Jeb is going to be a very -- if he decides to run, he is going to be a very credible and a very significant candidate in this race," Rubio told George Stephanopoulos. "I have tremendous respect for him."

Having Marcho Rubio saying this is like George Stephanopoulos saying it.
I agree on that in general, but not in the case of Rubio.
Rubio was groomed by Jeb, Cesar Conda and others.
“Even so, Ana Navarro, a Republican political consultant and longtime Rubio friend, says she thinks there’s a big difference between Rubio and Rand Paul, a Tea Party proponent and Kentucky’s new Republican senator.”

He's not nearly as sharp as he thinks he is.
Rand Paul, Gowdy, Mulvaney and others think they are the smartest people in the room when they promote half baked amnesty.
Rubio has always supported and wouldn’t pass a state immigration law in Florida. If he passed the law he probably could have beaten Crist even more for vetoing it.
The Booshies suck. They’ve done enough damage to the US. Between read my lips, no new axes, and compassionate conservatism, who can trust these liberal phonies.
Rubio frequently gets a whiff of the stench left on his shoes from stepping in the Gang of 8, and it is still so strong it continues to cloud his judgment.
Marco, that’s just not so, and you saying that doesn’t alter reality.
He is already kissing Bush’s butt to get the VP SLOT
Don’t forget “religion of peace”.
That makes sense—he knows where his bread is buttered.
Just when I think that Rubio is a pretty good guy, he says something like this. And he has now done this on several occassions. Not sure what even has to be going on in his mind to say something this stupid other than him thinking he will have a place in a Jeb Bush administration.
Rubio is a GOPe puppet. He always has been. This is no surprise. President Jeb Bush would be a disaster for America.
Just like you huh Rubio.
When did Sen. Rubio start smoking crack?
Sounds like Rubio is running for VP under Bush
yeah ... the drug labeled “blackmail” ...
First thing that popped into my mind when reading the article.
They cannot run on same ticket! US law.
Also, In Florida you cannot run for POTUS and Senator at the same time. Florida law.
No. We must stand up to the RINO Elites and say NO MORE! They blew it.
