Rubio isn’t ready

I’m not a fan of Donald Trump, who brags and boasts. He would be a dangerous president, unable to negotiate and compromise with Congress, given his strong ego.

However, I do agree with his view of Sen. Marco Rubio as inexperienced and unqualified to be president. Rubio has the lowest vote record in the Senate, so he is not representing Floridians’ interests. He is too young and does not have the maturity for this job. Also, he is being disloyal to his mentor, Jeb Bush.

Like Trump, his ego and pride are too large and have gotten in the way of practicality and reality. Rubio is an opportunist who wants it all and will end up with nothing.
