I don't think so.

Just like 4 years ago the voters will make out with one candidate after another but when it comes time to get married they will pick Jeb Bush.
He's already the choice of the big money guys and they usually get their way.

The main reason Romney dropped out after showing so much interest was that when he went to contact the big money donors he found that Jeb had already beat him to it and secured their support.

Rubio is running the same exact campaign strategy that got Obama elected.

Rubio has the support of the swing state of Florida, he is conservative enough to get by Iowa, New Hampshire and will make a good show in New Jersey n South Carolina, where the TP will help him. By the time he gets to Florida the feild will be down to him, Paul and Bush. Then he'll win Florida because he is a Republican and has the support of the Tea Party which will cause Bush to drop out. Then because R. Paul won't want to play second fiddle, he'll drop out for the good of the cause.

Then it'll be him n Hillary and since she is so polarizing and establishment, Rubio will swing the Spanish voters and all the GOP votes to ride out a Presidential victory.

Obama did about the same thing, except it was women and Spanish voters that propelled him.

I think you might be pretty close but you are forgetting Huckaby. He WILL make some noise. We'll just have to wait and see how far it takes him.

I understand your sentiment and generally agree, but did you not see what Romney did? Huckaby seen as a "moderate" just like Christie and Jeb is, maybe a little less than they are but none the less. He'll make some serious noise at some point. Mark it down.
