Rubio + ???

Christie?
Jindal?

hmmm....

I understand that the RNC is already searching for the perfect candidate...black, Hispanic, gay female who can quote Ronald Reagan line for line.

After backstabbing Romney in the back for telling the truth. I don´t think so.

As far as I´m concerned, Zippy is already a lame duck and the 2016 campaign has already started.

Rubio didn´t deliver Florida. Someone leaked the Romney conference call, And I am looking for a new face.

Would Rubio be as Hispanic promoting in the White House as obama and Holder?

Better get the House to start building that border fence. Romney´s self-deportation idea just might gain steam as we all get poorer and colder and hungrier.

Where Rubio´s parents born in the USA? NO? Forget about him....

I liked Rubio, until he opened his mouth the day after we lost this country and started babbling about how to "reach out" to hispanics.

"Reaching out" only means one thing to "latinos", amnesty. Let them all stay, and let their families still over the border come too, because, you can´t break up families!

More crushing weight as low-end workers and the poor dig into our available tax revenues, have more kids, and vote for more people to come over.

Rubio doesn´t get that disaster coming on top of all of our other disasters. Why? Because he is hispanic. And what does that make him? Well to me, someone that puts a race above his country is a racist.

And I am also tired of any value Iowa, Ohio, or any other state has in the play for elections. Sick and tired of hearing about:

* Swing States in general
* Ohio, Iowa, Florida
* "Reaching out"
* The "woman vote"
* Karl Rove
* Dick Morris

Have I missed anything?

What #6 said. Shame on Rubio. Another future-great-hope of the GOP bites the dust. Rubio turned out to be someone who back-stabs other Republicans to get cheap publicity and coverage from demonrats who agree with him. We have more than enough GOP-bashers in the "msm" without growing our own.. No thanks..

not ready for prime time...wants to spreadhe tent wider..go figure..what got into this mess in the first place

Go Rubio !!! Do not even consider Chris Christie; he is a closet democrat.

He has lost my vote.

I share roots with Rubio. But that´s about it. I feel more Americanized than him,even though I came to this country some years ago. All the time in California.I enjoy the diversity of California and if I´d run for office (never),I´ll try to be as inclusive as I can be. No Latino labels,no Hispanic identity and no speeches in other language than English! That said, Marcos Rubio is another tool of the globalists to flood the country with 3rd world people.

Well he certainly has a better chance than Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman and Newt Gingrich.

Yup - - this is our future - - Marco "Azucar" Rubio leading the charge for Big Sugar and all the other big lobbyists to keep getting more and more handouts from our taxes.

Golly, gee - - I can´t wait for this to happen! What a wonderful world this will be with the big lobbyists in charge of our lives!

Okay. This confirms it: It´s time for a 3rd party. Now.

Not my future choice. I don´t care to pander to hispanics. Legal or illegal.

If you want the dims to hold the entire government, by all means start a third party. What an idea - yuck

If the House does not have hearings on the massive election fraud from 2 weeks ago, there really is no point. Even if we have a major depression, Dems will be in the White House in 2017 again.

Yep, Democrats stand together but Republicans rip apart anybody that comes along. Our local radio host was talking about this very issue and made some very valid points. Maybe instead of dismissing someone right away, listen to what they have to say.

I think Rubio is a good candidate (and YES, Marco is an American Citizen can run for President). YES, he will bring along the Hispanic vote. Have you noticed how badly we LOST because of Hispanics. YES, Hispanics will continue to grow up and have more babies meaning MORE votes against White candidates. Add that to the Black votes and guess what. White Candidates don´t have a Snowball´s chance in Hell of winning a Presidential election anytime soon. It WILL be necessary to run a candidate that Hispanics will vote for. It´s our only chance. Read the Stats from this election. It´s proof that we can´t ignore Hispanics, like it or not.

Four long years until the next election. I don´t believe that Jindal or Rubio are the best we can come up with. And Christie? Who is that?

We have no idea where our country will be in a month or two let alone in four years. Or what will have become of The Won during that period.

Wrong #22, yes, Rubio is an american citizen.
He is a native born citizen.
The Constitution specifies the pres & vp must be ´natural born citizens´. There is a difference.

that means the anchor babies are not qualified to run for pres or vp but other offices are ok

Rubio lost me when he joined McCain and Graham in supporting Hillary´s and O´s unauthorized "NATO" war in Libya. The back of the hand to Romney--and tacit support of the Dems´ amnesty-- solidifies it. Rubi-NO. Jindal stepped in it too, and Huckabee last night spanked Mitt while inflating himself as a man of the folks. Double yuk. Rudy Guiliani worked hard for Romney and I have not heard him join the recriminators. We need more stand up guys like that.

Which of the following Republicans have stood with Allen West in his fight with voter corruption: Rubio? Boehner? Christie? Jeb Bush? Preibus? (sp?), Kristol?

Don´t remember any of them going to FL to support him.

I won´t support any RINO who wouldn´t stand by a brother in distress.

Find new candidates, pubbies.

I don´t think Rubio will do any better than romney.. Romney should have won easily 1980´s style. He didn´t because we now have more stupid people than smart people voting. We now have more people who have government jobs or some kind of government assistance than people who work in the private sector. Ted Kennedy´s plan since 1965 to stack the deck with welfare types has worked. It was probably evident in 08 but now 2012 confirms it. I don´t have a good feeling about our country.

I´ve been out of the loop since the election, in retreat, and am distressed to read about the issues with Rubio - though perhaps it´s just as well given the persistent eligibility issue. It´s too bad so many people could not accept Giuliani in 2008 (as urged by myself under the name "Bliss", The Mother Co., and others here). He would have been the strongest candidate then, and in 2012; and now it´s too late. As for Christy? No matter how obnoxious - if he can beat Obama? - I´m in.

He should be helping Alan West get to the bottom of voter fraud in his state first, but ,I suppose, it is all about him.

We have much larger and more immediate issues before us than speculation about a 2016 nominee.

With the courts gone, the moral meltdown proceeding apace and more than half the country dependent on government programs, will it matter one whit which sacrificial lamb the Republicans offer up in 2016?

Citizen born in the US equals natural born citizen. Citizen born somewhere else to non-citizen parents equals naturalized citizen. Rubio is natural born. Aside from that basic requirement, I am not sure how he is qualified to be President other than having Cuban heritage. I hope the Republicans don´t fall into the identity politics trap.

Take your money and run. We are learning that winning a caucus in the middle of February in Iowa is indicative of your ability to get people to show up on a Tuesday night in February in Iowa, and not much more.
Let´s stop pretending that caucuses in general, and Iowa in particular, gauge a candidates ability to win an election.

I hope Palin starts a third party. I have no faith in the repub party. They allowed the military votes to be un-counted, they didn´t stand with West.

I don´t think a third party will work, but I wish I could have voted for Palin this time. The Republican field was pathetic.

Rubio? Another checkered pants, pro amnesty, affirmative action Rino. What´s the point anymore? I´d prefer Palin , personally.
