GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio "has no natural enemies anywhere in the party, he has truly impressive natural skills and his greatest weakness is his greatest strength: his youth," New York Times columnist David Brooks says.
- "Donald Trump and Ben Carson go invisible when the subject of actual governance comes up"
- Jeb Bush "would probably be a very effective president. And he would have been a very effective candidate — but in 1956"
- Ted Cruz "just isn’t likable enough to build a national campaign around"
- Rubio "understands that it’s no longer enough to cut taxes and say bad things about government to produce widespread prosperity"; he and new House Speaker Paul Ryan would make "the wonkiest leadership team in our lifetime. That’s a good thing"
