El equipo de Rubio

Ya conocemos más del equipo que trabajará para Marco Rubio en el Senado. Lo observo con atención porque doy por hecho que tarde o temprano (2012, 2016, 2020) Rubio terminará presentándose a Presidente. Se ha rodeado de gente con experiencia en campañas presidenciales y algún que otro texano.

Lo veo de VP en 2012. Puede ser un acompañante muy bueno para la una posible candidatura de Romney o Huckabee ya que aportaría mucho, además de carisma y una destreza enorme a la hora del debate, al voyo hispano en estado que pueden ser decisivos como Nevada, Colorado, Florida y Nuevo México, estados, todos ellos, que junto con Indiana y Carolina del Norte, tiene que ganar el candidato republicano en la elección general si quiere llegar a Presidente.

El presidente Bush está ganado estima y popularidad una vez que ha abandonado la Casa Blanca. Quizás le esté sucediendo lo que al Presidente Truman. Jeb Bush es un político excepcionalmente considerado en Estados Unidos. Antxon ¿Puede ser runing mate o es complicado en las actualidad circunstancias?

Si Jeb Bush entra será candidato, no número 2. Aunque todos dicen que no entrará. En cuanto a Rubio, que tiene pinta de brillante, es peligroso el senado, normalmente salen mejor las apuestas de senadores con poco tiempo de servicio, si te pasas demasiado tiempo allí tu tiempo salta por los aires.

Así es. Jeb Bush tiene demasiado peso para ir de número dos. No creo que ninguno pudiera soportar el peso de llevar a Jeb Bush de número dos, sin perder su personalidad.

Ayer, en la toma de posesiónd e Rick Scott como Gobernador de Florida, Jeb volvió a decir que nos e rpesenta en 2012, pero dejó abeirta la puerta a presentarse en 2016.
