I hereby predict that media darling Rubio will be the biggest non-event since global warming.

He is the one the political left is most afraid of. And this is the real reason behind Obama’s push to normalize relations with Cuba.

[Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign, which officially kicks off Monday, has so far attracted paltry support from Republican voters...]

THAT SAYS IT ALL! Compare the enthusiasm from Independents, Republicans, Tea Party people, even Democrats when TED CRUZ announced his candidacy.

TED CRUZ will take it all before the MSM even notices.

The MSM including Fox "from what I've seen" are barely mentioning Cruz.
Out of sight, out of mind.

Just saw Rubio on Hannity. It was the water bottle all over again. Marco was dripping with sweat through a lot of the interview, two streams down the side of his face in front of his ear and his forehead was soaked. I was yelling at the tv for somebody to give the man a towel! He had a tissue in his hand but it wasn’t enough.

I call it discrimination by elimination. It isn’t going to work this time on CRUZ. The more they put him down, the higher he rises in the polls.

The MSM will be clamoring to be around him when he is in the White House though.

I think it's because they have no legitimate dirt on him. He is a threat
to their programming.

Rubio should have kept his day job. I hope the seat he has does not go ‘Rat.

Ted Cruz will CRUSH Rubio with one hand tied behind his back. It won’t even be close. Rubio burnt his bridges with conservatives/Tea Partiers when he hooked up with Obama and Schumer over that amnesty bill.

I’d like to think Rubio would do well in a Cruz or Walker government, on one condition:

KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE I.N.S., AND ANY INFLUENCE HE MAY HAVE ON THE SAME!
