Very unfortunate phrase....and one he uses for his twitter page, as I pointed out, and his slogan.

Good to see he avoided anything that looks like a drop of water, tho.

was a whale. That's what it looks like from a distance. And I thought, WTF? But that's what I usually think when I think about Rubio. But just stand back and look. It's a little whale, or maybe a fat grouper, or a coelacanth.

That might have worked in 2000 or 04 But, it is well underway now. The i made me think of Canada. It merged him with Ted Cruz.

him not sink. But, I don't think that is actually what will sink him. I am pretty sure it's his personality. He doesn't have anything in particular about him that is memorable. He is just another clown in the car that has a noxious personality and very few ideas. He isn't appealing at all, just a bit better than Cruz, Palin, and Santorum. Just watch his numbers fall when he becomes more well known it's a pattern with a lot of Republicans.
