The only good news for him is that Romney improved as a candidate from 2008 to 2012.

Because he has a LONG way to go to get there.

For the most part, he's got a good candidacy going...he's just got a bullshit cycle - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:55 1
- I preferred Rubio to Bush, but I'm not convinced that without Trump, Bush doesn't run a better campaign. Trump really nutted him in the fall. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 09:44
he's too much of a narcissist to run again if he loses. he's already quitting the senate -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:49 21
- I don't think people run for President to only run once. But he's certainly undermined his viability as a future candidate. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 08:52 14
  - How? - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:00 13
    - He's already quit his job. Like you said, he'll have to do something like run for Governor and be successful at it. - Roger More Feb 24, 09:05 9
      - I think he does...the US Senate is nowadays a joke for anyone who wants to accomplish. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:07 8
        
        Checking it out, Scott isn't up for election until 2018. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:10 7
        
        Right, he takes 12-18 months off, recharges, builds a donor-list...and then runs in 2018 for that job. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:13 6
        
        I agree there's a path, but he has to remain relevant, win the governorship, do a good enough job - Roger More Feb 24, 09:22 5
        
        Right, but I doubt either way that Rubio's going to be quiet in the near-term. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:24 4
        
        Yeah, he'll be writing a book, etc I'm not saying he'll be standing still - just that some of his actions in this cycle - Roger More Feb 24, 09:29 3
        
        I'm not sure which they would be exactly. Looking robotic on the big stage? Minor point. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:35 1
        
        I was thinking of his quitting the Senate. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:49
        
        (and the bottom line is, pixie is wrong. The definition of a narcissist is not "One run at the presidency was enough for me") -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:30
    - I don't know how to explain it, by gut feel is that Trump is like Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer. - ty97 Feb 24, 09:05 2
      - I was talking about Rubio. But Trump is more like Silvio Berlusconi than Vanilla Ice. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:07
      - I think we're on Rubio....how he's either tarnished or not by this run. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:06
- Unless he gets picked for VP, I don't think he sticks to his word about the Senate. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:51 5
  - I dont' think he'll have time to get back on the ballot. I expect him to take 2 years off; then try to run for Rick Scott's job and get some - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:57 2
    - IIRC, the deadline is either April or May. -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:03 1
      - I think he'd make a lot of enemies in the Florida region if he quit, let others build out, and then jumped back in after failing. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:04
  - he stopped doing the actual job over a year ago to run for this job -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:52 1
    - Your point? It is not like the Senate actually does anything anymore. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:54
