Rubio can be president.
Whether he meets your own definition, which is to be respected as your own definition - he certainly is as eligible as the current occupier.
So it’s a moot point. I say Rubio should run.
I’m series. He could very possibly become instant front-runner.
Funding, organization and logistics would take care of themselves, as millions of Americans jumped on the bandwagon.
Rubio could win. Big.
Sorry that dog won’t hunt. It has nothing to do with your or my or any individual’s definition of eligible. It has to do with the historical definition of the Constitution as interpreted by the SCOTUS. That would be born in the US of two US citizen parents. Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal good guys that they may be are not eligible to be president of the United States. I believe that Rubio knows he is not eligible and has the integrity not to try to run as does Bobby Jindal.
Just because one cat got through the door does not mean that we are going to make that mistake again. In addition the Republican party does not need the lawsuits and uproar that would ensue if Rubio attempted to run for President or VP. We need to get BHO out of office with as little fanfare as possible.
The abomination sitting in the White House now is living proof that the founding fathers had good reason to require the President to be a “natural born citizen” not a native born citizen which is what Rubio and Jindal are.
He's been a Senator for less than two years. You may notice that the LAST extremely junior US Senator elected President isn't doing a very good job.
And, prior to the Kenyan, exactly TWO sitting US Senators have been elected President, and neither one was a distinguished executive - although one of them had an excellent PR machine.
Look, I'm not from Florida. Is there something Rubio did down there that is exceptional, that qualifies him to be President? Not to be elected - as we saw in 2008, any idiot can be elected.
I mean, to do the job? Just what is it about him that makes you think he could, even possibly, be President or VP and not screw it up?
So, trashing the Constitution as long as it's for our guy is okay?
Not where I come from.
