Senator Marco Rubio of Florida is expected to announce today that he’ll seek the GOP nomination for president.
Political Wire publisher Taegan Goddard weighed in on what might have harmed Rubio’s chances:
Every time I begin to think Rubio is the strongest GOP candidate, I'm reminded of this http://t.co/p13o5UgL54 pic.twitter.com/Juo6mDBLk7

He’s just joking, right?
Smart take. https://t.co/1RpbDnVtoz

The GOP front runner will be one who has never had to take a drink of water on camera. Make book on that! Good thing the Dems have no such burdens on their only candidate so far:
Every time I think about Hillary Clinton I'm reminded of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods & Glen Doherty… https://t.co/jhg1V7DqiN

@JonahNRO Media that thinks all Obama scandals are "old news" after 2 weeks will now obsess over Marco Rubio sipping water 2 years ago.

Rubio sipping water disqualifies him, somehow?

How can we expect Rubio to defend us against Isis if he can't even defeat the thirst demons? Pansy! https://t.co/4zYpm3vhal

When that call comes at 3:00am you want a candidate who will reach for the phone, not Evian.

@RBPundit @politicalwire Amazing that a drink of water is a disqualifier, but years of corruption + deleted emails is negligible if Dem.

@JonahNRO I guess b/c he drinks water and not blood like Hillary. @politicalwire

@Doc_0 @JonahNRO Well, what he did (sip that water) was VERY insensitive re: those suffering the California draught.

@JonahNRO @politicalwire yeah we don't want politicians to be so dumb as to need water. the smart ones travel to 57 states without hydration

@JonahNRO @politicalwire If your only negative is he drank water, you obviously have nothing legit to go with.
