Marco Rubio got a nod from another politician who previously ran for the Republican presidential nomination.
Former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, who ran an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1996, told U.S. News and Report that Rubio's "got a Reaganesque quality to him. He can state strong positions and still smile. His optimism shines in an era where people are not very optimistic."
While he said his vote would go to Rubio, if Gramm were a betting man, he would invest his money in Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

No. Rubio is a liar. Reagan wasn’t. Anyone who trusts Rubio will get what they deserve.

Rubio is the only one more scripted than Ted. Politician to the core.

Reaganesque, as in the 1986 amnesty bill he signed?

Rubio seems to be easily bored.
Perhaps he would be better off pursuing employment outside of government positions.

Phil was another fraud who turned out to be an open borders sell-out. I spent time talking with him in 96 at a meet & greet & told him he was going to flame out because of his cheap labor views. He could have cared less...that’s how in the tank the GOPe is for the cheap labor express. He was willing to spend 2 years & 20 million dollars running for president, but throw it all away over immigration.

Rubio isn’t worthy enough to have the honor of picking up the droppings from Ronald Reagan’s favorite horse.

What I remember most about Phil Gramm are the comments he made while addressing the NRA convention over twenty years ago....
‘I have more guns than I need, but not as many as I want.’

You really gonna play that weak hand?
To: TomGuy
Rubio is Obama made over. He’s lazy, malleable, dishonest, and doesn’t give a damn about the people, just himself.
