Rubio visionary

To beat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, my fellow GOPers must take a step back from the circus. In one corner we have an egomaniacal loudmouth with fascist tendencies toward violence and authoritarianism: Donald J. Trump. In another, we have a fraudulent “true conservative” type with a charmless disposition and a penchant for Nixonian dirty tricks: Ted Cruz.

The only standout and leader is a man who grew up the son of a bartender, Marco Rubio. Rubio has proven himself to be a visionary when it comes to national defense and veterans affairs. There would be no more “leading from behind.” Rubio has the policy chops and mental toughness to restore a new American century. It is time to stand for sober leadership in the March 5 caucus.
