If Marco Rubio Represents Mainstream Conservatism, The GOP Is Screwed
Marco Rubio has become the darling of the Republican establishment.
Apart from his fresh face, virtually nothing about Rubio is new or endearing. His ideas are either conventionally Republican or uncommonly extremist.
HE IS: A Rabid Neoconservative,

He represents the worst instincts of movement conservatism, and if his warmongering and tax cuts for the wealthy are what counts as moderate in today’s GOP, the Democrats should feel awfully good about their chances in 2016. here
