Sen. Marco Rubios (R-Fla.) political stock is rated a buy by major Republican fundraisers in Washington, who are bullish on Rubios future as a 2016 presidential candidate.
A group of Republican fundraising heavyweights and wise men in Washingtons business community are solidly behind Rubio, and see him not only as someone who could win the White House, but someone they can work with.
The fundraisers include Bill Paxon, a former New York lawmaker who is now a senior adviser at Akin Gump; Dirk Van Dongen, the president of the National Wholesalers Association; and Wayne Berman, a big-time donor with a knack for picking winning candidates in presidential primaries. All three are a party of the business wing of the Republican Party that has clashed with the Tea Party. Their support for Rubio suggests they seem him as a possible ally going forward.
Political strategists think Rubios chances of winning the GOP nomination in 2016 are looking better because of the bridge scandal embroiling New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) decision to forego a White House bid to aim for the gavel of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
Marco Rubio is very much in the top tier of potential Republican candidates. Anyone who says otherwise hasnt looked at any data and doesnt understand the dynamics of the Republican primary, said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who counts Rubio as one of his clients. Look at who votes. Its very difficult to make the case that Chris Christie has a better chance winning the primary than Rubio.

...and because Richard Nixon is dead, and Charles Manson is still in prison.
Um, no.

/I’ve called the last three correctly
//I’ll be offering wagers after the end of the year
And because the government controls the alphabet media.
Join the circular firing squad now, and avoid the rush!
Yeah, the stealth RINO.
He’ll be the R version of Obama. Perceived as charming/attractive/articulate/minority. Did I mention, clean? Just not enough experience to step into the White House.
Rubio is like a child star who becomes a has-been at nine. He’s already finished.
You forgot “not a trace of Cuban accent.”
/married one
//and Jeesh does she have an accent!
///it’s actually quite charming, particularly when she does a $arah Palin impersonation
I'm a Tea Partier - am I a GOP "outsider"? Probably.
Rubio won’t hold up to the scrutiny of a national election campaign. He gives an OK speech but isn’t very bright, talented or principled.
She she have a squad of illegal servants, like Laura and Bar? That was something I found particularly hard to take, the Boosh RINO wives an their promotion of amnesty so that they could have house slaves, on the el cheapo...
Remember: it’s all about money.
Nothing else matters.
FUMR!! FUGOPe!! NO AMNESTY PUSHERS!!
Link or links, please.
Never trust an amnesty-pusher.
Cruz is my choice.
