Even though Rubio has become severely devalued, I think West is aiming too high on this ambitious goal. Even in Rubio’s tarnished state, he has easy charm, and an expansive knowledge of how things work together. I know Allan West also has a deep understanding of current events, but he does not have Marco’s eloquence or easy charm. Chose somebody easier to dislike, not just distrust.
Charm for the soft skin, but not eloquence. Sorry.
