The waterboy speech was in 2013. Yep - he is still wet behind the ears.

So what?

I swept floors once.

I don't expect praise for that.

What is wrong with this picture? How much experience did kennedy have when he was elected. How many realize prior to being elected Senator, Rubio was speaker of the house in Florida. Or I think I have that right?
Yeah, Kennedy was just great.

Got us into that little kerfluffle called "The Vietnam War."

Also presided over the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.

Then there was his brother, Teddy, who changed America into a Third World country.

Just gotta love those Kennedys!

Terrified? Nope. He's no worry at all for the Democrats despite your delusion.

Rubio is a better speaker by far than Bush, for sure, but so is just about everyone in the candidate field. Bush is dropping because he can't rouse a partisan audience.

With so many GOP candidates, its very easy to forget just how much campaign trail lies ahead. Jeb has enough funding to go all the way, but he's the only Republican who has that much.

Rubio could well be broke by next year, as he hates to do fund raising. If Trump hangs in all the way, like he says he will, Marco won't last until next summer, when things will become serious.

Holy cow: I am not and never was a supporter of the Kennedy's. I guess you haven't read many of my posts: I was just giving an example. Many on here that love to point out Rubio's lack of experience are the same ones that would tell us how great Kennedy was. The same with Obama, people say Rubio is too inexperienced but they support Obama. I guess you are not seeing this?

And your comment about sweeping floors: I really don't see what that has to do with being speaker of the house: can't you find a better comparison then that?

I agree, but Rubio does much better than other Republican candidates among Hispanics (a low bar, to be sure). Ironic, since Cubans don't consider themselves Hispanics.

They would have been a lot richer if back in July they bet on every time the political pundits were wrong this campaign season. I would imagine the hot political betting now is whether Biden will get in.

you are probably right about the debate or betting on whether or not the old man will decide to give it another try.

None of them stand a chance. Bush will get the nod one way or another.
