Rubio is the Repubs Obama.
I disagree. Obama was a rock star in the Democrat party. Rubio became popular as a strong advocate of Conservative principles and had a strong base of support from conservatives until the Gang of 8. Obama never did anything to diminish his support with Democrats, he served his term as senator while proudly waving his political liberal banner and the crowds cheered in excitement as he became the leader of the party who supported him in unison. Not even the Clinton Machine could stop his momentum.
Rubio is not even the Establishment GOP's Obama... that was supposed to be Jeb Bush! Rubio is the Last Great Hope for the Establishment GOP. But "Republicans" are comprised of an array of different views, not just the Establishment. There are social conservative evangelicals and tea party conservatives, libertarian conservatives, constitutional conservatives, etc. All of them are supporting people other than Rubio. The GOP cannot win without the base of Conservative voters who make up the majority of their party and they need to get this through their stupid heads before it's too late. Attacking conservatives has been a very stupid tactic from the get-go and the clock is ticking.
Rubio is more like the Republican's Zell Miller... once respected and revered as a great in the party... "I feel your pain!" But quickly became out of touch with the base of his party and cast aside in the wake of the radical liberal agenda.
