Well, Rubio has gained 1% of the Latin vote by the charade of 8 pandering.

Marco Rubio Declares Candidacy, Saying “Yesterday Is Over.”

MIAMI — Sen. Marco Rubio on Monday kicked off his 2016 candidacy with calls to re-energize the U.S. at home and abroad through a new generation of leadership prepared to tackle daunting domestic and foreign policy challenges.

In a soaring speech from Miami's historic Freedom Tower, the Florida Republican took square aim at President Obama, and by extension, his presumed Democratic heir apparent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"Yesterday is over, and we are never going back. We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future. Before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of America. We can't do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them," Rubio said, according to prepared remarks. His campaign said roughly 1,000 supporters were in attendance."

If anyone is going to get the Latino vote over Jeb Bush, Rubio's the one.

Maybe the older ones who are fast fading into that Yesterday that's so over, but not the younger generation who know that it's the relic of the Cold War that's over. They're moving forward, and it won't be to Rubio's rhetoric.

Why would Jeb Bush get the latino vote?
Because he is one?

"My mistake! Don't think I've fooled anyone!" Mr Bush wrote on Twitter
Politicians want to appeal to a range of voters but Jeb Bush may have overreached chasing the Hispanic vote.
The New York Times has revealed that the former Florida governor identified himself as Hispanic in 2009.
It published a voter registration form where Mr Bush had marked "Hispanic" rather than "White, not Hispanic".
On Twitter Mr Bush came clean, "My mistake! Don't think I've fooled anyone!, after his son called him a "honorary Latino".
The newspaper posted a fuzzy copy of the form, which it said it had obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department.
The Bush camp said it was unclear how the error was made.
"The governor's family certainly got a good laugh out of it," spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said. "He is not Hispanic."

The Republican politician has excellent credentials for his alternative ethnicity. He is a fluent Spanish speaker and his wife, Columba Bush, was born in Mexico. He also spent two years in Venezuela during his early twenties.
Born in Texas, Mr Bush is the brother of former US President George W Bush and son of former President George HW Bush. He is believed to be considering seeking the Republican nomination for president in the 2016 elections.
He is widely seen as a centrist Republican who can appeal to different demographics, hopefully including Hispanic voters./QUOTE]

Rubio wants to be Jeb Bush's running mate. All the rest of this is theatre.

They won't get the Hispanic vote.

They won't get the Gay vote.

They won't get the Black vote.

They won't get the Female vote.

All they'll get is the Foxtard vote.

Among the faith-deranged, Rubio stands out. He briefly dumped one magic book for another, converting from Roman Catholicism to Mormonism and then back again.

Yes, a real class act. You got one right for a change.

Even Libs at MSNBC Are Mocking New York Times’ ‘Luxury Speedboat’ Hit Piece on Rubio

Man, does the NY Slimes suck bad these days or what?

The entire Morning Joe crew had some fun at the New York Times’ expense this morning as they hooted at its front-page, above-the-fold story on Marco Rubio’s personal finances. The article attempted to portray the Florida senator as an irresponsible, nouveau riche spendthrift for squandering money on a “luxury speedboat” — but the boat turned out to be the type of fishing boat many middle class Americans own.

Yesterday, Blake Hounshell of Politico tweeted out a picture of the model provided by the Rubio campaign, which immediately drew comparisons to the current secretary of state’s luxury yacht.

Why the Times is obsessed with smearing Marco Rubio

Pretty obvious. He's dangerous and can win.

The presidential race is barely under way, yet The New York Times has already “endorsed” its top choice for character assassination.

Marco Rubio, please step up.

Just two days after dredging up driving infractions of the Florida senator and his wife, the Times went after their finances.

Wednesday’s Page One smear slammed Rubio’s purchase of a “luxury speedboat.”
The point was to claim Rubio is fiscally reckless — with “significant debts. . . [a] lease of a $50,000 2015 Audi Q7; a strikingly low savings rate. . .”
In fact, as other outlets reported, Rubio spent $80,000 on a rather modest fishing boat — after earning an $800,000 advance on his autobiography.

For a couple in their mid-40s, the Rubios’ finances hardly stand out from many Americans’. And, as the senator’s book deal shows, he has impressive earning capacity outside of his Senate salary."

But why is the Times going after Rubio with such gusto so early?

It’s no surprise the liberal paper of record will bash leading GOP contenders. But two hit jobs in one week on a guy who’s at best third in a Republican field of nearly 20?
Perhaps Sen. Rubio represents a special threat. He’s not just a credible GOP candidate — he’s also a first-generation Cuban-American success story.

Few things worry the liberal establishment more than the rise of minority conservatives who reject welfare-state identity politics.

Recall the “high-tech lynching” of Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Or the way Democrats blocked Miguel Estrada from even getting a hearing after he was nominated to the federal bench.

Lurking between the lines of the Times’ report on Rubio’s finances is a smarmy smugness: This uppity right-wing Hispanic isn’t as successful as he claims. Who does he think he is?

It’s pretty clear who the Times thinks he is: Somebody to take out early."

And it's pretty obvious that the NY Slimes is rooting for HRC in a big way.

No he's not and no, he can't

All your own polls show he hasn't got a snowball's, so why worry about him . . .

As VP under Carly or Patakis on the ticket he may do well . . . but that's about it

**grasshopper** · 12-06-2015, 01:55 PM

The Democrats need Republican candidates like Rubio. I dont think Sarah is going again, or, is she? LOL!
