Rubio announces presidential candidacy

[PresidentTRUMP]

BAM! been saying for three years Marco Rubio will be the republican candidate in 2016.

Hi opponent will be...

Hillary Clinton.

2016 Clinton vs Rubio. BOOK IT!!

[PresidentTRUMP]

Everybody expects a presidential announcement, so my bet is he announces he won't run & defer to Jeb Bush,  imagine that? Rubio, a tea party acolyte endorsing Bush, he has a better shot in 2020, will have the Romney & Bushies pimping for him big time. What ever happens, time is on his side. Imagine all the free publicity he garners from all the speculation on his attentions. You can bet his "announcement" is designed to deflate all the stories around Hillary,  wouldn't be surprised if Jeb was behind all the fanfare! 😉

Posted this in another thread but as a Republican yourself, I will post again so you see it.

Hmmm a young hispanic senator from the must win swing state of Florida?

- The new generation vs the old generation in Hilary?
- Young and Hispanic whose open to immigration reform. Hmmm hispanics when push come to shove, should I vote for the 1% in Hilary Clinton that has no idea what its like to be me or Marco Rubio and help elect the first hispanic president of the United States?? HMMM
- Great Speaker from humble beginnings. Wait the Democrat nominee will be the 1% that is all about Wall Street and the Republican candidate will have grown up with nothing from two parents that worked their butts off to put food on the table?! HMMMM
- Rubio is one of the few if not only Republicans with a realistic path to 270 electoral votes.
- Rubio will be in his 40s on a debate stage with Hilary who will be 70 and is a grandmother.
- HMMM who did Hilary lose the nomination to back in 2008??

Thats just the start, i could list countless other reasons why he's the perfect fit to be the republican nominee in 2016.

Not to mention he by far scares the democrats more than ANYONE else the republicans are running. They would be ecstatic if any of Walker. Bush, Christie, Paul etc. won the nomination.

They know for countless reasons the republicans have one candidate with a real path to 270 electoral votes and his name is Marco Rubio. The Clintons know this as well their no fools. Quite the coincidence she declares the DAY BEFORE Rubio, to take away from his announcement. That would be one heck of a coincidence.

There is one other candidate that had a path to 270 electoral votes running on the republican side and his name is Jeb Bush. Unfortunately, for him we have had two Bush presidents already and the country isn't ready for a third. So unfortunately for him he is eliminated, even though if his last name wasn't Bush he would be the only candidate with a real path to 270 electoral votes like Marco Rubio.

Democrats fear Marco Rubio for good reason.

Your 2016 election will be Rubio vs. Clinton. We will see who wins, it will be an EXTREMELY close election.

[PresidentTRUMP]

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

[PresidentTRUMP]

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.

[PresidentTRUMP]

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

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

[PresidentTRUMP]

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

[PresidentTRUMP]

Not a serious candidate.

hahahaha Marco Rubio 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.

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

[PresidentTRUMP]

Rubio's options and why hes running for president:

- Win the nominee (Best case)
- Lose the nominee and be on the short list for VP
- Loses nominee and loses out on VP run for governor in 2018 of Florida
- Run for president again in 2024

He doesn't want to be in the senate anymore, nothing gets done, no power to make things happen and heck he could make a TON more money going into consulting the next year or two and than run for governor in 2018.

Staying in the senate does very little for what he wants to accomplish. Seems pretty obvious to me thats the case and the reason he doesn't care about the seat at all.

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?

[PresidentTRUMP]

Honestly? Nothing, I just think he has the best shot to win the electoral votes to win the white house and I want a Republican back in the white house simple as that. Last thing we need is the SNAKE Hilary winning.

With that said based on who i'm most aligned with? Rand Paul if i could choose the 2016 president I would chose him, hands down and that's the honest truth.

I just see a much clearer path to the 270 electoral votes for Rubio than paul and is the reason I am currently supporting him, that's all..

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.

Ahhh okay, thanks for picking that out of everything i said....

Like I said I would be 100% behind Rand Paul if i saw a real path to 270 electoral votes.

Democrats have made politics about skin color and gender:  being the first....1) African American (Obama) 2) Woman (Hilary Clinton) 3) Hispanic president (Julian Castro in 2024).

A white male would have a VERY VERY difficult time beating Hilary, if you can't see that than we will agree to disagree.

[PresidentTRUMP]

Coming from the party that's willing to elect a 1%er and BIG wall street backer as their nominee? She stands for so much of what liberals don't that you may confuse her as a center-right candidate if you didn't know better. Cracks me up, anything to give yourself a shot at the white house.

Did you see Bill's second term as president? He ran this country as a conservative. Hilary Clinton would be a MILLION times better as a president for republicans interest than Obama or Warren ever would be.

Obama was awful, GOD AWFUL, but WARREN would be our worse nightmare.

Hillary, well i wouldn't be happy but there's not many liberals out there I would rather see win the white house than her.
