The young, dynamic, face of the new generation up against the out-of-touch septuagenarian (or near septuagenarian). The first ever Latino president, compared to the umpteenth old white guy (or another Clinton). At least, that will be how they will attempt to frame it. If it's Rubio, it's not going to be easy. And two hints: our candidate should not act amazed by any modern technology, or refer to themselves as a "bridge to the past" (that was actually Dole in 1996, but still played right into Bill's hands).

But yes, he is the biggest threat. I've said that for a while.

(25,406 posts)It's hard to describe what he's missing.... charisma maybe? But he's definitely no Bill Clinton at this point.
