Don't count him out. The GOP-e love him, and if he's got enough crony capitalistic bucks in his account, Karl Rove will, too.
[Rove after Rubio's consulting check clears] "He's perfect!"

Oh, I know in my heart of hearts that you’re right. It’s just nice to daydream, hehe..

I have a new theory that he'll be adopted by Jeb Bush so he can be part of the Bush dynasty. He'll become Marco Rubio-Bush and will be next in line to the throne after Jeb.
Re 33, great post. It summarizes everything of importance in this fetid matter.
I’m.with you on the daydream,seems it’s all that’s left.
Palin has side-stepped the immigration issue since 2008. It is good to see her finally taking a strong stand the last couple of weeks.
I wonder how much the Jan Brewer conversion and the Rubio flip-flops influenced her?
Palin still has some fence minding as a result some of her endorsements the last few years.
Better late than never.
I hear a fly buzzing. Anyone else hear it?
But she’s supposed to be...”irrelevant”, right?
Yep... and the astonishing part is how he can lie full-speed in an interview without batting an eye. Too bad he's not using that intellect for purposes that actually serve the long-term needs of the nation. Instead he's bargained the nation's future for some perceived short-term political gain (which won't come to fruition, I might add).
Great insights, with one minor correction. He’ll be running for reelection in 2016. There’ll be a totally different dynamic at work than the mid-term Tea Party fervor that propelled him to victory in 2010. 2016 will be Hillary’s year, especially in a state that is turning blue. Whether he survives the primary that year isn’t so much the issue as the general election. He very likely will be defeated.. rather soundly .. by a liberal dem.
“Whether he survives the primary that year isn’t so much the issue as the general election. He very likely will be defeated.. rather soundly .. by a liberal dem.”
It is possible that in order to survive he’ll pull a Charlie Crist. When it is clear the Republicans voters won’t come out to reelect him to the Senate, and the Republican establishment declines to give him a spot on the national ticket, he can declare the Republican party doesn’t care about minorities and jump to Democrat side. It would be a huge PR bonanza for the Democrats in 2016.
Perhaps this is has been the plan all along. Could Rubio be a Trojan horse hispanic star predestined to switch sides at exactly the right moment? Time will tell.
Someone who's pretty sure that if he carries their water on this and other things, the establishment will make him the nominee in 2016. The game is completely rigged. Anyone paying attention would have recognised that by now.
I already posted on his facebook page to not bother running for president in 2016, that I will do everything I can to oppose his success and that I will never trust him again.
I find it very creepy that The Rube's Chief of Staff is a former Soros associate.
Thanks for taking the time to write a spot on post.
“Up Your A$$, America!” -Rubio’s New Campaign Slogan.”

Most likely, silence regarding some presently undisclosed misdeeds.
He got ‘Boehnered.’
Rubio and Paul are now out of the running for the presidency. Who would have guessed?
