I for one am glad he is getting in to the race. He has a great American story that needs to be told. He might also make a very good President. Definitely a solid VP pick because he can probably carry Florida. For sure the party wants him in the mix just for such reasons. Please start slamming Hill ASAP!
Giving up that Senate seat is a very bad move. He is young enough to stay in and try to repair some of the damage he has done to his record and run for President later on. Now he will never have another chance, but be relegating himself to being a Once Ran Has Been.
You mean the one about his parents escaping from Castro's Cuba, that story?
The one that turned out to be a lie, his parents having left before Castro took over. The story he quietly retracted on his web sites. Kind of stealing the valor of those who actually risked their lives to escape.
You mean all the tall tales he spun about his father fleeing Castro's Cuba, when in fact he immigrated years before the Revolution? It is indeed a great American story, just not a true one. I suppose that makes it a great American tall tale.

With the exception of Jeb, Rubio is the loudest pro-amnesty voice in the GOP field. They both deserve to be slammed for it.
If it is a close election and the electors of the Vice Presidential candidate have to go to someone else from a different state, it is conceivable that the Vice Presidential candidate might not make it to 270 electoral votes.
If no candidate for Vice President has a majority of the total (538) votes, the Senate, with each Senator having one vote, chooses the Vice President.
I noticed the top of the hour radio AP news had an “analyst” on saying that Rubio was the first top tier Republican to enter the race and the others that had declared were just fringe candidates ....HEY AP ..FU you commie dbags
NO THANKS to little Senator Amnesty
why ? Florida will get a REAL conservative Jeff Atwater
Don't you love how self-appointed media experts get to pick our candidates for us? Rubio will probably get fewer votes than either Cruz or Paul, but they're the ones who are "fringe" because...well, because the MSM says so.
correction - just found out that Atwater is not going to run for the seat.
Hopefully he can split the RINO vote.
Rubio should list Cuba as his home and Jeb can list Mexico has his home. Then let someone legitimate run.
Many people will mistake his rallies for Tommy Hilfiger outlet sales.
He’s on Fox News live right now
Cruz, Paul, Rubio and Walker — are the perfect counter to been-there-done-that candidates like Jeb and Hillary.
Yes...and they’re all being very well played .
no teleprompter. how refreshing!
