How will he get the female vote? Just curious ...
Who? Rubio? Well, this thread's not about Rubio .... but in-brief:
Of course he wouldn't get the far left female vote ... but he'll get all of it on the right, naturally .... & enough of the independents to neutralize the female vote 'cause
A. he's a young, good lookin' reasonable/smart-
sounding guy
B. He's got a nice looking family & a buncha cute kids.
C. He's got a good immigrant background story and people can relate to a guy whose actually had a mortgage and personally dealt with student loan & credit card debt.
Just like he wouldn't win all the Latino vote, but he'd get enough to neutralize it as a factor in the election
(ever listen to him give a speech in Spanish? I have. He's pretty smooth.)
If I may use a high-school analogy, for a whole lot of independent swing-voters in the middle, The Presidential general election is a bit more of an election for Homecoming King/Queen than it is for President of the Student Council. (congressional elections are more like the latter.) I won't say they are stupid people, but fact is most independent voters are just not that clued in to the intricacies of policy debates.
(that's why they're known as "undecideds")If he can to manage to cop the R nomination & were to choose Nikki Haley as his running mate he'd beat Hillary by 5-points at least. He's the only candidate the Hillary campaign
fears IMO.
I mean, c'mon ... she's a worn out political hack with a ton of baggage, and she's just not that
likeable to a lot of people. She's gonna have to start dragging Bill around with her everywhere she goes just to try & improve that like-ability factor. More importantly she's yesterday's news ... people in the middle are gonna be looking for something new & shiny. Being a woman won't get Hillary elected in and of itself any more than being a Latino would get Ted Cruz elected in and of itself. And further... how's she gonna compete with all those cute little kids?
I expect we'll have a long-running thread on Rubio soon enough ... after the first of the year when his ad campaign with his new found money starts in earnest & he continues his rise in the polls.
