So things don’t look so encouraging for Rubio. But he may not be seriously eyeing a White House run anyway: A high-ranking GOP party official who asked that his name be withheld told me on Monday that Jeb Bush’s people have just met with Rubio’s people and a 2016 deal was struck. If Jeb runs for president then Rubio would drop out—and “Jeb is running,” according to my well-placed source. (Alert the media!)…
Rubio knows his race will be tough since 2016 is the first time he would face a traditional two-person Senate battle. (His 2010 election was a quirky three-way race.)

Allen West may run agains’t Rubnesty.
Rubio burned his own house down pushing for immigration.
Can’t fix stupid.
I don’t mind him being reelected to the Senate, but I don’t think he is the right person for President at least at this time. Maybe in 10 years when he “grows” more conservative.
I thought he said he would only run if it was an open seat.
Some might attack West for losing a close election in Florida but I mean Rubio got the same numbers in a good year as Allen West did in an Obama year.
Fix is in. Jeb is gonna run, conservatives like me will stay home in disgust, and Hillary will win. End of America.
There are a multitude of more leftist GOPers in the US Senate than Rubio.
Rubio makes a deal with Bush.
Hope he negotiated better terms than he got from the Gang of 8 — Schumer and McCain.
name one US senator that became ‘more conservative’ after spending time in DC.
doesn’t usually happen.
I ain’t voting for either one of these useless jerks.
But they are not threatening to run for President.
We’re going to get beat so bad in November Rubio’s seat won’t even matter.
Mario is just another charter member of the GOP-wing of the Democrat party.
It’s so much easier to get re-elected when you’ve got the demmunist party election stealing machine behind you.
If Rubio loses to Debbie Wasserman Schmutz it will be because he tried to sell conservatives a pig in an immigration reform poke.
Didn’t Reagan have to run for ~12 years before hitting the lottery?
Huh? this will be a great year for Republicans.
Well that is true...silly me.
Lots of Freepers may remember Helms, but I'd wager that there are damn few who remember Curtis.
I met him once in the 1970s. He was TEA Party before there was a TEA Party.
“Didn’t Reagan have to run for ~12 years before hitting the lottery?”
Reagan declared a last minute run in 1968 on the day the GOP convention opened. It wasn’t much of a run.
