I never understood the fascination with Rubio - sure he is better than Gov. Suntan, but he is not anything special. But, Ok, so Rubio tells us 0Romney is “a conservative.” Why didn’t he finish the sentence? Willard is a conservative what? A conservative Mormon? Is that one who does or does not believe in polygamy and segregation? I forget. A conservative dresser? He has his suits tailored for him, but not by designers? A conservative driver? He tells his chauffeur to drive the speed limit?
“I never understood the fascination with Rubio “
He benefits from the current Republican love affair with latinos. A lot of conservatives who drink GOP koolaid were quick to jump on the Rubio bandwagon.
“I never understood the fascination with Rubio”
I think because he is perceived as a magic talisman to reach Latins, just as Condoleeza Rice and before her, Colin Powell were expected to magically bridge the gap in communication between Republicans and most minorities. It is a flawed concept rooted the Bush 1 years.
Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Newt Gingrich and others were more correct in taking the longer and harder routes of explanation and persuasion.
LOL!! Very good!
