Why not Rubio?

In his heart he knows he's right.
In your gut, you know he's nuts

Which is why I'm still looking at Kasich. He's done a killer job in Ohio regarding the economy and budget, he won by a landslide, which would help him position his replacement and the GOP must have Ohio, which he would bring to the table. He's a more viable candidate than the current buzz would suggest.

Kasich would be a good choice and he would carry the crucial state of OH.
Unfortunately he is not seeking the nomination.

Yet...

Kasich admits to mild but appropriate regrets about his vote for the assault weapons ban. What the heck, I say we give him another chance.

If the goober didn't get science, I doubt he got math, social studies, history, or government.

He does seem smarter than bush though...I might vote for him over billary.

Good stuff to consider. Puts Rubio in a different light for me. Some stuff is semi understandable, kinda rolling on with the GOP agenda. Or voting like his Florida constituents want. Some of the other stuff seems a little shady.

"As LDS Youth, idolized Donny and Marie Osmond. (June 2012)"
That's the last damn straw.

I just started hearing about this guy today. He may be a dark horse with some history.....like Scott Walker.
