Why Marco Rubio scares all other presidential candidates

I know. Rubio has his warts, but don’t underestimate his other votes.

He ins’t perfect, FAR from it. But, the choice to stay home or vote 3rd party or for Hillary over a man with a high 80’s Conservative rating, makes no sense.

[Paulie]

You’re right. True leadership takes more than that.

I didn’t mean it quite that way and I should have said those qualities are helpful, but do not define leadership.

Warts?

Extending Obama’s unconstitutional DACA is a “wart”?

I like Cruz a lot and I don't trust Rubio much but overall I support a Walker / Rubio ticket. Here's why.

Walker impresses me with his substance and willingness to fight. We need a candidate who actually wants to win and will fight for it, regardless of the venom people toss at him and Walker has proven he's that sort of man. We do not need another guy who is worried about his image in the press and the punditry more than winning (I'm looking at you Romney, McCain and Jeb Bush). So I like Walker.

As for Rubio, it's undeniable that he has charisma which Walker somewhat lacks, plus he brings Florida and the Hispanic vote into play. However I don't trust Rubio after he conspired with Chuck Schumer months after getting elected, it demonstrated insincerity and duplicity, bad traits for sure. And yet making him VP takes him out of the Senate and puts him where he can do virtually no damage so he helps you win and then he becomes neutralized. Win-win!

I love Ted Cruz, would vote for him in a minute. I just don't see him getting the nod. Would love to be wrong.

I said he has some issues. I am a Cruz guy, so Rubio isn’t my pick.

But don’t tell me he is worse than Hillary and I am just telling you what his conservative ratings say

[Cubs Fan]

He scares me too, just like the other amnesty pimps.

Rubio soiled himself permanently in my eyes by scheming with Schumer against the citizens.

If you think the Gang of Eight bill was a bad immigration bill, wait until you see what comes from the TPP treaty disguised as a trade bill.

Maybe in the way that John Edwards, Dan Quayle or Teddy Kennedy were before people got to know them.

Lot of gall to put Dan in bed with those two commies. The people never got to know Dan Quayle beyond potatoe.

Better than the Princeton debate and speaking champion, Ted Cruz?

You may not believe this but voters do not use the same criteria in judging performance as Princeton Debate Team Judges do.

[Pollster1]

Rubio scares me because he is pro-Amnesty.

Perception is reality, which is why Sarah Palin isn’t the frontrunner for next year.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or the Supreme Court of the United States or the nearly 30 million voters of the big state of Texas or Alan Dershowitz or...

[trisham]

I may stay home if Rubio is our nominee.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Rubio is a joke. Jeb will mop him up in FLA with experience, background, and endorsements. Longtime FLA politician Mel Martinez will back Jeb and skew any hispanic vote to Jeb.

No Jeb fan here, but Rubio just doesn't have it.

Perception is reality

My version is; Truth is whatever you believe it to be and facts will never change it for you.

Or the Supreme Court of the United States or the nearly 30 million voters of the big state of Texas or Alan Dershowitz or...

Yep but less than 8 million voted in the last presidential election (that is both parties)in Texas. the other 10 votes won't really matter that much.
