Rubio is a day old cuban sandwich, fresh out of the microwave.

[Syncro]

He sure stumbled on his words a lot.

[RoosterRedux]

It was a good speech.

[iowacornman]

Mario and Shumer . Illegal aliens and amnesty. You BLEW IT boy!! Not even VP for you.

[manc]

He needs to stay in the senate and not give the Dems a chance of getting two senators in my state

[hoosiermama]

Can’t be if they’re from the same state.

[Blackirish]

He brings youth, Latinos and FLA to the table. He’s young polished and has FOX news in his pocket. Krauthammer is right. He’s the odds on favorite to be next president.

[Syncro]

Yeah, bringing the FLA to the table is a great idea.

Krauthammer is right about a lot of things, but his dissing of Cruz is clouding his vision.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Well.. honestly Rubio is not even in my top three, but I would prefer him by a mile over Bush.

I could bring myself to vote for Rubio if he were the nominee, especially if he fesses up to the massive mistake he made hooking up with the gang of immigration traitors led by McCain.

But I will never vote for Bush. If Bush is the nominee, I will stay home and watch Hitlery be corinated

[Sequoyah101]

Keep him. He is just a young rino.

Was he helping Cruz with the fillabuster?

[MacMattico]

If he's the nominee, I will vote for him. Look what sitting home has got us! I always thought the only thing worse then a Bill Clinton Presidency would be a Hillary Clinton Presidency. Then came Obama. But after eight years of Obie I can't take 4-8 of Hillary with Bill running around the White House. The only reason those two are still married is because it would look bad when she ran if divorced. As a woman I can not stand that woman! I like her rapist, scumbag, loser husband better (which isn't saying much.) The 90’s were my twenties and formed my political beliefs. The Clinton's were just horrible, lest we forget! I then got stuck with her as Senator. NO MORE!!!!!

With Obama many weren't sure what we'd get but we do with the Clinton's and no way in hell will I be part of it! I still haven't decided my primary pick.

[sarasmom]

Rubio is one and done in the Senate, and he knows that.

I'm not sure why he acts like he thinks he has a shot at POTUS.

[Reagan0704]

I only want to vote for Cruz but I will not say I wouldn’t vote for Rubio.but I will definitely not vote for Bush or Rand.

[Republican Wildcat]

He’s running to dilute the opposition to Jeb’s coronation.

LOL - here we go again.

Rubio has been rumored to be a future presidential candidate long before there was even any indication Jeb Bush would be interested in doing so. Having another popular candidate from the state of Florida to potentially allow another candidate to sneak in the back door and steal that state from Bush would be a pretty pitiful effort if he's there to help Jeb Bush.

[Theodore R.]

Rubio’s only opening is that the “little guys” are so uninformed that don’t know about his actions on amnesty c. 2013.

[Theodore R.]

You don’t sound like a typical New Yorker. People there are truly Ready for Hillary, and there’s not a plug nickel we can do about it.

[Chatlee]

This is so true. Enough already.

[MacMattico]

Oh she'll win the state easily. If not she'll be in for a long night. I run into people all of the time that hate her though. And I don't use the word hate much. But I swear there are so many people here that at the mention of her name go into a trance and it's like reprogrammed monotone words come out of their mouth supporting her it's scary.And why if any of us sit it out in purple states, she wins.

“Rubio has been rumored to be a future presidential candidate long before there was even any indication Jeb Bush would be interested in doing so.”

****

Horse hockey. Jeb has been planning to run for President for 20 years. The only thing that derailed him was an unexpected 1994 gubernatorial election loss in Florida coupled with W’s unexpected win in Texas at the same time. If that hadn’t of occurred, Jeb would have been the GOPe candidate in 2000 instead of W.

Recent rumors of Rubio’s presidential aspirations since taking the Senate do not predate plans that have been in the works for Jeb since Bush ‘41 left office and revived after Bush ‘43.

[tallyhoe]

Then it is Cruz and Rubio!!!
