A Speech to Watch

On Election Night, Marco Rubio won the three-way Senate Race in Florida with over 50% of the vote. Here is his speech:



On a lighter note, Marco Rubio's son is channeling a young Andrew Giuliani with his camera antics, and it's priceless!

In this speech, Marco Rubio speaks with passion and puts a face on American exceptionalism, as he is the child of Cuban exiles who sacrificed so their children could have better lives. Furthermore, he exudes that same optimism of Ronald Reagan in articulating how that despite our current struggles and challenges, we can not only return to that prosperity, but we can continue to be the country where not pre-determination, but self-determination is the norm.

Marco Rubio is one of the current Gen-X politicians in the spotlight that I believe can one day be president in the near future, yet the Democrats are scared silly of that prospect for reasons similar to the Miguel Estrada incident, as he does not fit their caricature of Republicans. In this speech, Rubio articulates the importance of principles in his decision-making and assuming he practices what he preaches, he will be a fast rising star in American politics!
