Full disclaimer: remember a few years ago, there was a woman who hit a homeless man with her car, and he ended up crashing through her windshield with his body half in and half out, and she just kept on driving, parked in her garage, closed the door, and left him there to die on the hood of her car without telling anyone or making any attempt to help him?
As long as that woman is not a Republican, I would vote for her before I would vote for any of the current crop of prospective Republican candidates for President.
That said, I can at least understand what some people see in some of the candidates – semi-successful governorships, staunch support of certain issues, etc. But Rubio completely eludes me.
He lied about his parents fleeing Castro. He’s done nothing significant that I’m aware of, other than making incredibly rapid advancement up the Republican political ladder. He’s flip-flopped on the two of the most important issues, Iraq and immigration. He seems completely out of his depth every time he’s featured as a Republican spokesman, or even on an interview show. Yesterday, after a week of intensive coverage of Jeb Bush’s problems with the Iraq question, he was completely flummoxed by the same question on Fox News Sunday.
So what’s the deal? Is it just because he’s a conservative Hispanic that he keeps being promoted way ahead of his time (Speaker of the House for Florida, then Senator, then Republican spokesman to counter the SOTU, and now top-tier Republican candidate)? Or has he done something amazing that I missed?
