After reading up on Ronald Reagan in the past week I'm more convinced than ever that Rubio is Reagan 2.0

Watch this speech and tell me if you do not agree:

Marco Rubio CPAC Address - YouTube


Ronald Reagan Speech - 1964 Republican National Convention - YouTube

Interesting how Reagan references Cuba in his speech.

Romney today in Michigan said it was a false report that Rubio was not on the list of candidates for VP.

Reagan 2.0 you mean he too is worthless?

Well based on his performance I'd agree he is. Certainly not qualified to be president. Anyone that is Dick Cheney's choice I would have to vigorously oppose.

When I saw Rubio give a speech a couple of years ago, I thought this was the first politician that sounded like Reagan since he left office over 20 years ago. He has a great historical understanding of the American ideal, like Reagan did. I hope Romney selects him as his VP.

He is too young. The bosses would do better to hold him back until 2016 when the office will be open. No point in risking hurting his reputation in a losing effort this year.

I think he might trying to sound like Reagan, but for me he misses the mark. I am not all that impressed with Rubio and don't really understand all of the hoopla around him. Something about him bothers me.

He wants to pass amnesty and give weapons to Islamic radicals?

I voted Mr Rubio for the US Senate to act as a counter-weight to the executive branch, which is a senator's Constitutional duty, and I am expect him to keep doing that over the next four years of his US Senate mandate, assuming that Mr Obama is re-elected, and he would actually be statesman-like if he were to continue to do that in a balanced fashion under a Romney presidency.

But fat chance. At any rate, indeed he is too young to be even considered for the vice presidency.

I wish people would stop these comparisons with Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was an inspirational leader the likes of whom comes once or twice a century, certainly the only one that I recall in my lifetime in the US, I don't remember anyone comparing Ronald Reagan to, say, Theodore Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln, mainly because no one during Mr Reagan's time was alive, or hardly, during those previous eras, and that's the way it should be: the next truly inspirational leader should come when I'm dead or at least well into my 80s.

Expect continued mediocrity for the foreseeable future.

Good Luck!

Too inexperienced. Talks way too fast.
