At first glance, Marco Rubio seems to be the boy wonder of 2016. On stage during the debates and at campaign appearances, he appears young, handsome, almost cherubic. But anyone who thinks that Rubio is naive, soft or inexperienced would be mistaken.

Only complications are the lies he has repeated about how his family came and prospered in the United States.

Corruption is not complicated, it’s the easy way to get ahead. Illegals do it all the time.

problems pointed out by the article: hair-trigger; holds a grudge, (they didn’t get into it much but) a problem with trust - handling money responsibly; momma’s boy, and then there’s his immigration policy based on delay-delay-delay:

“Then second you have to modernize our legal immigration system, and then third you can have a debate about how to even legalize people to begin with,” Rubio told the Fox News host. “And then, ultimately in 10 or 12 years, you could have a broader debate about how has this worked out and should we allow some of them to apply for green cards and eventually citizenship”

Sounds pretty do-nothing to me. And if he’s a free-spender, and a tax-raiser, what’s his appeal other than he’s really, really good at memorizing talking points?

Certainly Rubio met the qualifications for Representative, but does he even meet the requirements for President?? Is his family a family America can be proud of, or is there a “Billy Beer” type hanging around in the eaves? (billy was Pres Carter’s brother, for those who don’t know)
