I so want Rubio to win the nomination now

Seriously, just look at the news and what's going viral now. And if Chris Christie can hurt him that bad, can you imagine that Hillary or Bernie would do?

Rubio would not only ensure us a third term of a Democratic President, he would make us laugh the whole time while doing so.

He's been bought, sold and paid for so many times it's amazing anyone even listens to him.

The scene in the movie "Game Change" when her handlers gave up trying to teach her about foreign policy and just had her memorize talking points. That's all Rubio has, a bunch of memorized paragraphs. Either of our potential nominees will mop the floor with him in a debate.

Of the three Republican front-runners, Trump will be much easier to beat than Cruz, and Cruz will be easier to beat than Rubio.

He may just have had one bad debate, but he's still the Democrats' worst possible outcome.

I would bet on Rubio to beat Clinton, and I would bet the farm on Rubio to beat Sanders.

Trump is the nominee we should be hoping for.
