In response to "he's just a terrible candidate who the Beltway media wants to delude themselves into believing is GOP Latino Obama -- nm" by sweet baboo

We ain't going to see another Obama in the near-term. They just don't happen.

That said, he's a demographically strong, rather even-keeled 43yr old.

He hasn't done great this cycle, but he's done well enough to win the nomination if it wasn't for the idiocy that is Trump supporters.

and that pesky issue of not winning anything yet -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:43 6
- For the only stat that matters, he's won 16 delegates. Cruz 17 and Trump 82. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 08:52 2
  - Yay? -- nm - David Feb 28, 09:01
  - he needs to win something. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:59
- Even Cruz won one and people hate him. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 08:44 2
  - Iowa doesn't mean squat. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:44 1
    - The vagaries of Iowa aside, Rubio still hasn't won anything. -- nm* - Diva Feb 28, 08:47
he can't convince half the "sane" part of the GOP that he's any better than Ted Cruz. Ted. Cruz. -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:40 8
- We have no idea what exists of the sane part of the GOP. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:43 7
  - Rubio was elected to the senate as a Tea Party darling -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 08:45 6
    - So? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 09:59 1
      - So you would think he has as much claim to the Tea Party vote as Ted -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 10:09
    - And isn't one now. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:46 3
      - Then he's also dumb for not wanting votes -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:01 2
        
        The GOP establishment has won every time for 50 years...why would you not want that? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:07 1
        
        Cause they're the ones running the party now -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 28, 09:17
I honestly don't understand what you see in him that's positive. He's pyrite. - David Feb 28, 08:39 5
- So far, he's the only GOPer with a shot I've seen articulate anything in the cesspool of Trump. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:42 4
  - I've seen you say this several times, and I view it as like arguing 50 Shades for Best Picture. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:45 3
    - No, that'd be arguing Trump or Cruz. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:49 2
      - Yeah, I think you're mostly right about Rubio. And he's not media concocted, he's party-concocted. - Beryllium Feb 28, 08:53
      - I'm sure some people passionately defend 50 Shades, too. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:52
