David Harsanyi on Marco Rubio’s Alleged Appeal

Marco Rubio seems a plausible option for
Republicans in 2016. Falling somewhere between Jeb Bush-Chris
Christie and the purportedly unelectable Rand Paul-Ted Cruz, Rubio
is the sort of comfortable choice Republicans tend to decide on.
He’s a proven conservative with a moderate demeanor. He’s
comparatively youthful with a strong presence. And he has the
ability to engage in Hispanic outreach. Hailing from an important
state doesn’t hurt, either.

But the promise of Rubio seldom corresponds with the reality,
argues David Harsanyi. It’s not that he’s off-putting. It’s that he
never really generates the sort of excitement or displays the sort
of political acumen his reputation might have you believe he can,
should, or will.
