People here are acting like Rubio would do better because he's a "moderate" but that is a dubious assertion.
Rubio would do better because he was a candidate not crippled by scandal and hated by the majority of the US electorate.
Literally all Rubio would have to do to win comfortably is say "emails" every 15 seconds and unlike with Trump Clinton would have no counter.
Rubio would figure out a way to flub it, at least Trump could be like "well at least I admit it".
Same way Dukakis somehow didn't manage to beat H.W. by bashing Iran-Contra over the head.
except Iran-Contra was resolved by mid 1987 (at least when it came to whether HW was involved in it or not) while the Email Scandal dragged on till July of election year.
