I don’t support Rubio because I think the Hispanic vote is fractured into people from different countries. Cubans are not nuts about Mexicans and vice versa. So he will not draw many Latinos in.
More importantly, he has no real executive experience, which is a drawback to me.
I do believe, however, that his parents were legal immigrants, refugees from Cuba.
But Marco Rubio could play himself in the movie ! :)
Personally, I’m for Paul Ryan but Rubio made an excellent argument about the negative aspects of too much ‘experience’ in Washington, DC. And I think he is right about that.
The status quo stuff just seeps into your soul up there.
I think Perry could have maintained his focus but it will be hard to do.
Liz Cheney would have to take a pay cut to be a representative but I hope she goes into politics. We could use a woman like her.
Yabut, were they naturalized before he was born?
I think selecting Rubio because he is ‘hispanic’ would be a really bad idea.
Most of the ‘hispanics’ in this country are Mexican. Rubio did point out that hispanics are suffering more under Obama’s policies. That goes for blacks as well, of course, but blacks will vote for Obama even if he calls them ‘the help.’
There are other reasons to consider Rubio. He brings youth and likeability, cannot be intimidated or befuddled by the press (Chris tried) and is kind of a breath of fresh air.
But although his experience is more valid than Obama’s, he is rather inexperienced. Maybe next time.
