Why the money’s now betting on Rubio
Market Watch ^ | Nov 3, 2015 | Brett Arends

We can talk all we like about national polls and Iowa polls and New Hampshire polls, and Ben Carson and Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

But among the bookmakers, there’s only one hot bet right now, and it’s Marco Rubio.

Florida’s junior senator has surged into a commanding lead in the betting for the Republican nomination for president following last week’s strong showing in the CNBC debate.

Bookmakers are now giving Rubio an astonishing 40% or better chance of becoming the nominee — nearly four times as high as they were rating him just three months ago, before the debates began.

And they’re giving him a 25% chance of winning the election for president, up from barely 6% a few months ago.

Since the Joyful Tippy-toes Disrupter Tortoise is flaming out, the Cheap Labor Express has to have a substitute amnesty candidate. Rubio is Young Yeb!

Carson would do if he makes it all the way, but Young Yeb! is more to their liking.

The left will pull out all the stops to ensure the first Hispanic president is not a republican.

Exactly correct! Carson will just be a tool of his rich donors.

Once again, the establishment is wrong.
********************************
Exactly. The GOPe and MSM continue to think like they have for the past 15 years and can’t come to grips with the fact that the voting base for Republicans has gone Conservative.

Rubio is a POS who is trying to boost his personal campaign funds, which he can keep when he drops out of the race.

No mention of the status of the boat.
***************************
I’m certainly no fan of Rubio. However, I’ve seen pics of the boat and it’s definitely NOT an $80,000 boat as has been reported. It’s just a small fishing boat suitable for near coastal fishing/swimming, IMO.
