Rubio announces presidential candidacy

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Hahaha you will be seeing a ton more of him my friend

He will either be the 2016 nominee for the republicans or governor of florida in 2018. He's FAR FAR away from going anywhere

Adam Putnam will be Governor in 2018, actually. The RPOF has already decided that.

What about Jeb Bush?

Jeb has a path to 270 electoral vote but unfortunately his last name won't allow him to reach that mark. Is that fair? No not even a little bit but thats the simple truth.

And Clinton's name doesn't hurt her? Hillary is her own person, and the voters see that, and they will see the same about Jeb as much as the base hates her.

Hahaha that's very very far in the future. Let's see who gets the nominee in 2016 before we worry about 2018 tho.

No, no, it's not too far in the future. In fact, it is already starting to play out.

Like i've been saying there is ONE and only ONE candidate the republicans have that can defeat Hilary Clinton.

And his name is not Marco Rubio.

Not a serious candidate.

hahahaha Marco Rubioe isn't a serious candidate??? Let me guess the only two serious candidates are Rand Paul and Ted Cruz....tea party cracks me up...neither will sniff the nomination.

Neither will Rubio. In fact, he wreaks of Giuliani. A weaker version who will never, ever be the frontrunner. Cut the Rubio hackery and take a sniff of reality.

So who are you supporting on the republican side? I'm curious?

Ideologically, Rand Paul, but my passion is the FL-GOP and I have worked on numerous campaigns. So I wouldn't mind Bush, Rubio (even though he is NOT going to be the nominee), Christie, Pataki, or any candidate with a chance of beating Hillary.

What campaigns have you worked for? What do YOU contribute to Marco Rubio besides inane ramblings? I'm curious?

Figured most of these forums would be filled with HARD leftist and tea partiers who support Rand Paul and Ted Cruz....pretty much as expected.

Hillary would win 320-350 Electoral votes against either Cruz or Paul, Wake up LOL

First off, I assume you get stern marks from your teacher for your horrific grammar skills.

Second, don't dare straw man me as a "Tea Partier". I'm surely to your left on a whole host of issues. No I don't think Ted Cruz is a serious general election candidate, but unlike Rubio, he appeals to a non-marginal amount of GOPers and has a serious chance of winning the nomination. I think serious general election candidates include - Scott Walker, Rand Paul, and MAYBE Jeb Bush if he does enough to make distance between himself and his brother (which I doubt). The rest either don't have the resources to do battle with Clinton, the support within the GOP to pick up the nomination, or the positions necessary to win a general election.

But you're probably 12, so no need to write a master thesis.

Actually, no I would gladly support a Rand Paul 2016 win, happily!

Once people start commenting on GRAMMAR on here you know it's time to cute the conversation with them. Your from Kentucky and support Rand SHOCKER! With that said I would be ecstatic to see him win in 2016.

Rand Paul can attract different races and people from different backgrounds to vote for him similar to Rubio. How doe walker do this? How does Bush get people to forget about his last name?

Where is Rand Paul's realistic map against Hilary for 270 electoral votes, because if you can convince me of that I would whole heartily support him. The last person we need to see in the white house is the SNAKE her self Hilary Clinton.

...except that he is not from Kentucky.
