Marco Rubio still lives in the same neighborhood he grew up in.

Of course, West Miami is the kind of neighborhood where all first generation immigrants with a father who's a bartender and a mother who's a maid live in. But if you're a hardworking member of the GOP, you could pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get out of the barrio.

Rubio has created his own problems as far as running for national office goes.
He claims to be a refugee baby, when his parents came to America two years before Castro gained power, and he was born here.
He can't "un-say" that, he wrote about it in a book.
He can't sweep using his GOP credit card for personal use - to the tune of $100,000 - under the rug.
Don't see him making it through the primaries, unless Jeb already has that under control.
