Why do you think Rubio hasn't a chance, Biggie?
Cruz v Clinton. They are both strategists. Rubio's only strategy is to make bank off of old guys.
They love his breathing beauty pageant presentation.
Could be, Adub.
I think it's either gonna be Rubio, Cruz or Bush who ends up facing off against Clinton.
I wish Kasich or Graham had a chance of getting the GOP nod, but I think they're both too moderate, inclusive, and willing to work bi-partisan to garner enough support in today's Republican Party.
Cruz is too extreme right and has alienated too many establishment GOPers to get the nod for 2016, I suspect.
That leaves Rubio -- aggressive, articulate, Hispanic, conservative, smart, young, power money backed... I think Rubio could not only appeal to more Independents than Cruz (particularly in terms of immigration), he might steal some wavering Democrats who really don't like Hillary Clinton; wavering Democrats who consider Hillary Clinton equally hawkish and establishment-entrenched as her Republican rivals.
