GOP is clearly grooming Rubio for 2016. He’s their only shot at siphoning some of the Latino vote in Texas and Florida.

@jaroslav48 @KennettDems Rubio is a non-starter with or without the speech. He has no substance.He's the Latino Token du Jour!

They've decided to trot token Rubio out just like that did Steele right after PBO won in 2008. Didn't work then&won't work now. @bashirlive
