Rubio may well be the next Reagan. It’s just that for now, the electorate is still recovering from the perfect, bright and shiny, perfectly spoken, flawless, never-said-or-done-anything-wrong candidate, and he is sitting in the Oval Office. Rubio is a gift. Rubio is too perfect. He is also a protege of the Bushes. If Rubio is smart, he won’t want to be under the wing of the next unproven Republican president, to serve as his VP. Rubio can win in his own right and will want to carve out his own message and be president, because his message, ability and attraction is so far superior to anyone else’s. If things stay with him as they are now, he wins in a walk...eventually.
That’s actually what he said last year — he didn’t want to be VP.
