I guess Bush, but I wouldn't be surprised if both end up running.

Also, does Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush differ on any major issue?

Jeb has a bit more of a spine.

I voted Rubio. I think Jeb realizes how hard of a time he'll have in the primary, and since he isn't willing to pander to the base in order to win, my guess is that he'll decide a run isn't worth the hastle in the end.

Not really, he keeps flip flopping on immigration.

Yes, that's why I said only a bit. Rubio has no spine whatsoever.

Rubio clearly wants to run more than Bush does, as Bush rhetorically asks himself whether he "can do so joyfully".  But Bush is Rubio's mentor from years ago, and has first dibs on the Florida donors.  So really, this is a question of whether you think Bush's chances of running are greater than 50%.  I'll still say no, for now.

Could Rubio be to Bush what Fred was to McCain eight years ago?

Actually, this theory makes a lot of sense now. Rubio might be preparing himself to run to split the conservative vote and help Bush out in South Carolina (and potentially other states depending on how effectively this pans out.

Besides immigration, on domestic policy Rubio votes like Ted Cruz.

I think they will enter a deal for only one of them to run. Leaning Jeb since he has nothing to lose, whereas Rubio will make a once comfortable Senate seat competitive.

Rubio isn't in a comfortable position. This will be a swing seat if the Democrats down here decide to not be completely terrible, hopefully firing Tant for someone better.
