He is an immature anchor baby
Who has little understanding of any of the policies written in to his speeches for him. Still in his first Senate term, he is already bored with the job. And in his first attempt at leadership on an issue, he folded at the first sign of opposition. This boy wonder, Marco Rubio, is now the Great Lightweight Hope of the Republican establishment in the face of the success of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, emerging from the first presidential nominating contest in Iowa as the leading Republican mainstream contender, portrayed himself in New Hampshire on Tuesday as the party's best hope to recapture the White House.Did I mention that he is eager? So eager, he gave his victory speech in Iowa despite only reaching third place.
But Rubio, 44, a U.S. senator from Florida, faces a strong field of establishment rivals in next week's New Hampshire primary after his stronger-than-expected third-place finish in Iowa behind front-runners Ted Cruz, 45, and Donald Trump, 69.
"If I am the nominee, we are going to beat Hillary Clinton and it won't be by the flip of a coin," Rubio told supporters in Exeter, New Hampshire, taking a jab at the close Democratic race in Iowa between Clinton and challenger Bernie Sanders, where some precincts were decided on a coin flip.
Other more mainstream Republicans including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Ohio Governor John Kasich and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, are expected to do better in New Hampshire than in Iowa and vie with Rubio to become the establishment favorite.
