WHY would any voters other than his family vote for him?
He said last year he HATES being a senator...

Marco Rubio “hates” the Senate — but just wait until he’s president

...
And now there’s a big Washington Post story out quoting Rubio and his associates describing how he actively loathes the Senate after less than one term and can’t wait to be done with it because it’s too plodding and sclerotic for his personal ambition:

“I don’t know that ‘hate’ is the right word,” Rubio said in an interview. “I’m frustrated.”

This year, as Rubio runs for president, he has cast the Senate — the very place that cemented him as a national politician — as a place he’s given up on, after less than one term. It’s too slow. Too rule-bound. So Rubio, 44, has decided not to run for his seat again. It’s the White House or bust.

Now, he’s done. “He hates it,” a longtime friend from Florida said, speaking anonymously to say what Rubio would not.

Which makes for an odd campaign message.

Rubio must convince voters that his decision to leave the Senate — giving up the power he already has — is actually a mark of character, a sign that he is too dedicated to public service to stay.
