Marco Rubio: I Can Beat Hillary Clinton

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) believes he can defeat Hillary Clinton should the former secretary of state decide to run for president.

"Multiple people can beat her. Hillary Clinton is not unbeatable," he said in a radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt on Friday.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee member, who is widely considered a presidential contender in 2016, said he would challenge Clinton on her record at the State Department.

"I would ask her the question I would ask her now: You were the secretary of state during the first four years of the Obama administration. Name one significant foreign policy achievement, now or after you left," he said.

"The reset with Russia has been a disaster, the Middle East is more unstable today than it's been in I don't know when -- and that's saying a lot -- our relationships in Latin America and democracy has deteriorated in Latin America, the Chinese are increasingly aggressive, our partners around the world view us as less reliable," he said. "Where is the one thing they've done successfully?"

In the 100 yard dash, I mean.

In anything other than track and field events, she'd wipe the floor with him and toss him out with the rest of the trash when she was done.

I don't see him getting the nomination, or even coming close to it. It'll likely be another clown car year for the GOP and we'll be left with whoever doesn't flame out first... which will probably be someone the GOP's not excited about.

and he gets curbstomped like Goldwater did in '64. I honestly think that losing a national election by a crushing margin is the only thing that's going to make it stop.
