Rubio is a puppet—robot, quite puerile, in fact. Intellectually a light weight. He just repeats memorized “speaking points” that one of his handlers made him memorize. He doesn’t have the ability to “think” on his feet like a Cruz. Have you EVER listened to Cruz explaining “ethanol” subsidies to an angry farmer, one on one? He is brilliant. Cruz’s professors, like Dershowitz, admitted that their most brilliant student and debater at Harvard in their lifetime, was Cruz.
Rubio could not even pronounce the words on one page of John Locke’s Treatises, much less understand the philosophy behind it. He is a complete fraud—a Ken doll, like obama, who hangs out in bathrooms at public parks.
I really like Cruz, but as I noted, he is not suited for display at this time. His passion sounds feigned and angry. He desperately requires a speech coach and hours upon hours of practice.
