Top Reagan Scholar Opines: Marco Rubio Is The ‘Closest Thing’ To A ‘Next Reagan’

I disagree with many of the naysayers on the Left and the Right who put down or otherwise underestimate Marco Rubio. Rubio is a fine American and he would be a great GOP candidate in 2016; but, he is no Ronald Reagan, at least at this point in his development. Rubio is too young, he lack's Reagan's gravitas, maturity, and the always bemused twinkle in Reagan's Irish eyes. Most importantly he lacks Reagan's instinctive sense of the greatness of America and her people. Rubio certainly pays lip service to the 'greatness of America' but Reagan lived it, he exuded it through his pores, the force of his smile and the timber in his voice. After the sound whipping that the U.S. military had received at the hands of Ho Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese, Americans had lost much of their national self-confidence and pride, but Reagan, after holding the demoralized and subdued Carter to a one-term Presidency and instantly ending the hostage crisis in Tehran, effectively restored much of that lost pride. When Herbert Walker Bush (Bush 41) soundly defeated Saddam Hussein militarily during 'Desert Storm' in the oil fields of Kuwait, he carried on Reagan's legacy and he cemented the restored confidence. That restored confidence held until another 'Chamberlainesque' Democrat President, the Dhimmi traitor Obama, undermined it again, with his saboteur ways. So, after nearly six years of the saboteur Obama, I can certainly understand why the GOP and all loyal Americans desperately are looking for another Ronald Reagan; but, poor, well intended Marco Rubio, is not the guy. http://dailycaller.com/2014/04/28/top-reagan-scholar-marco-rubio-is-the-closest-thing-to-a-next-reagan/2/
