Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio is a conservative senator from Florida who could be the fourty-fifth president of the United States (hopefully, he won't be). He has a lot of appeal for Republicans because he is young, Hispanic, and from Florida.

Media
Because he is young, Hispanic, and from Florida, the Republicans like for him to appear on TV because it can make it seem that the party that is dominated by old, male WASPS is popular with young minorities because they have a young minority senator in Florida. Rubio has appeared on shows such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart more than once; introduced Mitt Romney at the 2012 Republican National Convention; and delivered a response to the 2013 State of the Union Address in both English and Spanish.

With all the media hype, you'd expect his approval rating to be higher but his fourty-four percent approval rating drops to thirty-four percent among Hispanics (March 2013).

Rubio might also run for president in 2016. Let's hope his approval rating stays low.

He is Not a Scientist
Marco Rubio has said he is not a scientist and that he doesn't know how old the Earth is; and it doesn't matter in terms of his economic policy. Which means he probably should leave the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
