Marco Rubio is the favorite of the establishment, but the Washington Post isn’t buying his effort to win the presidency. In a scathing piece, the Washington Post outlines why the Florida Senator’s campaign lacks momentum:
Marco Rubio no doubt wants to sit behind the big desk in the Oval Office. What is not so clear is how hard he is willing to work to get there.
Republican activists — including many who appreciate Rubio’s formidable political gifts and view him as the party’s best hope for beating Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton — say they are alarmed at his seeming disdain for the day-to-day grind of retail politics. Even some staunch supporters are anxious.
“Rubio has not put in the face time that he really needs to have, I don’t think,” said Al Phillips, an influential South Carolina pastor who backs Rubio. “I think that’s been somewhat to his detriment.”
Both Rubio and Ted Cruz have set themselves apart from the rest of the non-Trump field in recent weeks, but it seems more and more clear that only one has the energy to take a legitimate shot at the throne. If Rubio wants to contend, he’s simply going to have to start showing up.
