    Oh, they will.

    I mean, a cokehead and a coke dealer are somewhat different in the first place ... but with the Clintons it's all about damaging the other person.

    It has nothing to do with a relative being a coke head. Drug addiction is a disease that few families aren't touched by. Rubio's influence-peddling is what's at issue here.

    His brother-in-law got a real estate license. Lol.

    Granting presidential pardons isn't peddling influence? Especially when the person you pardoned was trying to sell presidential pardons to other people, too?

    Rubio's brother-in-law served his time. Roger Clinton got a presidential favor.

    Hilary's brothers were brokering pardons in Bill's final days.

    Here's the difference. Trump and Sanders are expected to win NH by a lot, just as Trump and Clinton should win SC.

    Iowa didn't have any real geographic or favorite son slant like NH or SC do. Let's see who wins OH, NC or CO. Those will give the most accurate picture of national appeal.

    Touché. Losing would have been him getting 8% ...

    Billionaire Gotham slickster goes to corn country and comes up short on 4th and goal.

    One other thing and maybe I missed it here: Wasn't Cruz born in Canada? What I am missing here? How is he eligible to be president?

    Here's the difference between Rubio and Clinton. Let's grant the quotation marks around their "scandals" to be fair. As we see on this thread, Clinton's are old news of interest only to people who would never vote for her or any Democrat. Rubio, being less well known, will have his "scandals" treated as news by much of the media, even if they really aren't.

    To add to Gee's point, now that Cruz and Trump have him in their sights, it isn't merely a matter for the GOP-vs.-Dem showdown.

    Sounds like loser talk.

    Why are we even discussing third-place-in-Iowa Rubio when the GOP's base isn't about to settle for an establishment candidate?
