Why not Rubio? Hmmm, a freshman senator with no executive experience who’s big positives are his public speaking and his ethnicity. What could possibly go wrong?
Rubio is the poster boy for something called ‘The Hispanic Leadership Network’ co-chaired by Jeb Bush and Carlos Gutierrez.

This is very much a GOP establishment creation. It’s for the sort of “immigration reform” promoted by Jeb and Dubya. Those who believe that Rubio isn’t backed by the GOP establishment are fooling themselves.
The Republicans have been whoring after the latino vote for years now, and Marco Rubio is their golden boy to give it to them. Or so they think. The GOP is called the Stupid Party for a reason.
Having lived through the transformation of California from American suburbia into the capital of the Third World I’ve had all the latino culture I ever care to see. Friends who have left the state over the years feel more strongly about it, it’s one reason they are glad that they left.
I won’t vote for any ticket with Rubio on it because I greatly dislike replacing the historic American people with the latino culture and people, and that’s what his rise to political influence means to me. The GOP, as usual, manages to pick up every bad leftwing idea a generation after the Democrats do.
