    In 2013, I wrote a now-laughable column predicting Rubio would be the next president. I was obviously wrong--but Trump confirms this excerptpic.twitter.com/CwP9pHCOvG

        : Your thesis re: Rubio in 2013 was plausible. But it assume rational, thoughtful GOP voting. Neither occurred in 2016.

        It's a nice summary of the problem. DC elites thought Rubio a rock star. But Republican voters thought Trump.

        So true. Look at Duterte. Highly entertaining. And like some rock stars, not even good-looking. But still so much fun to watch!

        Rubio is neither mentally capable nor intellectually curious enough to be even a good senator let alone a president.

        Their hero Reagan was all "cult of personality" to the easily duped Republican voter. No research of issues is ever involved

        agree entirely--we need a royal family like U.K. has, separate from political leader. Obamas could be king and queen

        What was written in 2013 is even more true today given the rise of the Twitter World in those past three years.

        How does Trump confirm this? He has not been elected president. Clinton--not a 'rock star'--is more likely to win.

        .@mattklewis frustrating to think it could have been Rubio as he was building good momentum until the auto-answer meltdown in single debate
