Sai posted:who is rubio? i follow american politics pretty closely for a european and the only things i know are 1. looked like a doofus drinking water, 2. bad think on abortion, 3. ann coulter is mad at him about immigrants This is all based on my very imperfect knowledge (like most Americans I only pay attention to Florida Mans when they're committing interesting crimes), but here's what I've gathered over the last several years: Marco Antonio Rubio is a product of Florida state politics, which is itself as weird as everything else about Florida. He was elected Senator in the 2010 midterm elections which were when the Since Rubio has been in the Senate he's earned infamy by daring to cooperate with Democrats. He's part of the infamous "Gang of Eight" - Republicans who supported a major immigration reform bill. That's just one of his many "betrayals" of the Tea Party he's committed by trying to actually pass functional legislation instead of destroying the federal government out of spite like a good Tea Party Republican should. So while Rubio has the socially conservative credentials (i.e. his let-the-mother-die anti-abortion extremism) he's been too cooperative with Democrats (especially on immigration) for the tastes of much of the GOP base. If he'd been on the national stage in 2008 he might have had a shot at the presidency in 2012 but I personally don't think he does this time around. (Also people who actually know politics good: please tell me where I'm wrong about any of this. I'm not actually sure how much Tea Party support he got in the Florida Senatorial primary for one thing.)
