re: #40 HappyWarrior

What will happen I think if Rubio does ultimately win, he’ll be forced to like McCain and Romney to choose someone to appease the wingnuts and he’ll have a lot of cracks on his shell too from trying to out wingnut the others. Rubio really reminds me a lot of Romney in some ways.

Disagreed quite strongly. Rubio is a full metal wingnut through and through. I think Romney would have been pretty successful electorally circa 1996 and, dare I say it, probably would have served as a misspoken but competent executive (if one I often disagreed with).

Rubio’s three pecans short of a can of mixed nuts. I don’t think he’d even be palatable to the establishment if the alternatives weren’t, well, y’know.

Also, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see him crash and burn. He’s just got that weird phoniness to him, an uncanny valley of rehearsed talking points rather than actual skill.
