Obviously, you do not consider a man’s accomplishments as qualifications. You’re only interested in his public speaking abilities. Pretty lame in my book.

I don't expect you to memorize my 10,000 replies but I do expect you to be aware of what's written in this thread before you generalize.

In reply #127 in this very thread I said:

Look, I am an outspoken Cruz supporter and have been unwavering in my support of Cruz and in my opposition to Rubio for his betrayal on immigration but I am not willing to call a thing by its wrong name simply because I support another candidate.

Rubio is a brilliant orator, he has won debates against Cruz and Cruz has won some others. Cruz is clearly the better litigator but on the stump Rubio has an ability to connect emotionally with his audience.

Moreover, he has matinee idol good looks which appeals to a lot of women voters, he has a wonderful biography to tell, which he tells wonderfully well.

Without comparing Rubio to the man, let us acknowledge that Hitler was a great orator. So was Huey Long. That helps get you elected but does not make you a good man or even a desirable candidate.
