I have nothing against Senator Rubio. He has done a great job of articulating conservative principles that in some instances have changed the debate in the media in our favor. That, however, in and of itself is not a qualifier for the most demanding executive job in the world, that of the President that will follow Barack Hussein Obama. There are more qualified people who can become President without us resorting to the same level of experience that the Democrats did three years ago.

In addition, the major stumbling block that the next President will face in trying to enact reform and slash the government will be those 100 little dictators, years between elections, each with a feifdom carved out in the Senate. To truly pass sweeping reform the Republicans will need 60 seats, and over half of those will need to be either truly conservative or truly scared. Start counting. We don’t have the numbers. I pray the next President doesn’t pluck what few conservative senators we have for his cabinet or his VP slot. Rubio, Demint and others need to stay in the senate.

Since you brought up the Senate you just happened to get into an area that Rubio does have some executive experience in managing Senators. He did it superbly in Fla.

But I have to agree with you. It would be nice to see a Senator Rubio go to Governor and then President.

There is just one caveat. We don't want zero to win. If it were absolutely necessary to run Rubio or lose the election for sure,that's a whole other scenario.
