Rubio is THE guy to take the party mantle. Not because he is Cuban/Latino, but because he has conservatism in his core. It comes naturally. He is a gifted politician. He also is someone the DC establishment would ‘allow’, and that unfortunately is critical. Their undercutting has killed off many a worthwhile candidate.
I was sold on Rubio when I first watched his Senate run on video. He gets media. He built a great political team that beat the sitting FL governor...twice. He announced on a tea party platform before the tea party existed. In my opinion, Rubio has the gut instincts to win the White House.
He also is in a good position to thread the needle on immigration and champion a position that satisfies our base and the need for an immigration reform bill. If he does it right, I am on board.
Source why he can run for president.
No more RINOs. That includes Marco the non sovereignty loving, non constitutional, republican.
However, he does talk a better game than his mentor Mitt.
