Following a second strong, if understated, debate performance late last month, Marco Rubio is currently riding a wave of positive press. He is surging in the polls, has the hot hand, and is even emerging as the favorite to win the GOP presidential nomination. With the summer of Trump coming to a close, it seems, we are at the cusp of a new stage of the campaign where the non-silly-season favorites begin to assert themselves and the race finally gets serious. And there is good reason why that means Rubios stock is on the rise: With Scott Walker out and Jeb Bush giving his own backers serious heartburn, Rubio is the only member of the GOP establishments former Big Three who appears to be heading in the right direction. As New York magazines Benjamin Wallace-Wells correctly put it Friday, "it is startling how well the race has gone for Rubio so far." If not Marco, the logic goes, then who?
The thing is: The race hasnt gone that well for Rubio. Personally, Im largely on board with this Rubio-will-win-by-default line of thinking. But its worth noting given the current hype cycle that, to date, he has yet to translate the buzz into anything tangible. Put simply, there just isnt a whole lot of concrete evidence to suggest that Marcos current momentum is much more than the product of the wishful thinking of a nervous Republican Party and the predictions of a bored political press corp.

I could have told the MSM that. They are dishonest. They need to add Carly to this list also. Neither of them are "surging."
wow, he has got the press buzzing, wow
Every time he sees Trump’s Jet, Tattoo Rubio says The Plane the Plane

Completely agree with you. I haven’t heard the first person tell me they are supporting either one or furthermore suggesting they even like them. All I’ve heard on my end/corner of the world is Trump. They like him. Who votes for him, that I don’t know! I do know positive energy and people who don’t usually like politics are talking about Trump and in a positive way.
Is your statement sarcasm? I didn’t know it had already been posted.
I don’t know what kind of alternate reality the author lives in but I haven’t seen anything close to what he’s describing.
Did you search the title before posting it?
His gang of eight stance in favor of illegals voting so he can get “hispanic” votes, hasn’t gone well
Nor his lies he changed his position
Last month he spoke in front of an Hispanic gathering and said he still will push for AMNESTY IF ELECTED PRESIDENT.
I guess he only tells the truth in SPANISH
What difference does it make? I’ve seen many multiple postings with the exact same title on FR. Do you comment on their posts?
Poor Marco. He got hair plugs or transplants for his run. Or is it a rug. Only to find out that people don’t care about hair that much. They want a return to a great America. Kinda makes me sad that he was going for appearance and was bettered by a dyed red Aqua Net awning. Not much of a pulse on us.
“Last month he spoke in front of an Hispanic gathering and said he still will push for AMNESTY IF ELECTED PRESIDENT.”
Really? He said that? I do not trust that man.
Lets see who the GOPe/msm will push this week. This becoming too funny.
:)
What amuses me about all of these screeds is that they just pretend the frontrunner, by a huge margin, doesn’t exist!
Marco came out for work visas for illegals while here in Vegas. He will be toastified shortly.
Unexpected!
Does this mean that he’ll go back to Florida, Cuba or under Tom Donohue’s desk for the remainder? Hope so.
