Rubio still has a chance.

I don't know what's more embarrassing: the fact that Democratic rising stars all got knocked out in 2010 and 2014, or the fact that GOP rising stars turn out to be complete jokes.
Which Democratic "rising stars" got knocked out? I don't recall having any.


And for those saying "the Democrats only had Obama," yeah we've "only" had the guy who was elected two terms to the presidency (both with over 50% of the popular vote, a first since Reagan), passed healthcare reform after a century of attempts, helped guide the economy back after the worst financial crash since 1929, killed Osama bin Laden, helped greatly increase our energy independence and clean energy production, reopened an embassy in Cuba, is trying to get us out of war with Iran, used executive orders to help promote a variety of issues that are dear to Democrats, helped oversee the shift in gay marriage, etc.

Alison Grimes, Herseth Sandlin, Ed Fitzgerald (lmao), Wendy Davis, Kathleen Kane (LMFAOO), Anthony Weiner were all hyped up as future stars before their bubbles burst either through defeat or scandal. I think 90% of all rising stars turn out to be duds.
Aren't those people who were never elected in the first place (as Senator/Governor anyways), not "knocked out"?
