Opening Quote:  "The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised- that in the U.S., a free market system, allows us all to succeed economically, achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves."- Marco Rubio

On Monday Florida Senator Marco Rubio officially announced he's running for President. The son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio spoke too a crowd gathered in his hometown of Miami at the iconic Freedom Tower. The Tower, also known as the "Ellis Island of the South" holds personal meaning for Rubio as well as others in the Cuban-American community. Fleeing from Castro's Regime tens of thousands of Cuban immigrants were once processed by the federal government at the historic landmark.

In Rubio's speech he expressed that he was the candidate to defend the American Dream hoping to appeal to young, minorities, and less affluent voters. Trying too take advantage of his youth he said it was time for the new generation to take the reigns in the new century. Rubio felt it was time for older leaders with older ideas too step aside. He specifically mentioned how Hillary Clinton wanted too take the Country back too yesterday when it should be about tomorrow.
So the question is can Rubio win the GOP nomination?

Where the rubber meets the road...

Rubio is one of the most conservative members of Congress which should bode well for him in the primaries. However one of the "biggie's"- immigration remains a question mark. That being said I am hoping with him being Cuban-American he can lead the way for the Republican Party too connect with Hispanic voters. I believe, despite the immigration "barrier", the GOP must bring Hispanic voters into the party or winning elections will be more and more difficult. There are a great percentage of Hispanics that agree with Republicans on most issues but immigration continues too divide. Hopefully Rubio could help bridge the gap.

 As I have stated in a previous post the future is now so I hope he can at least be given a chance, but right now I kind of see Rubio stuck in the middle. Although he is very conservative I believe he would have a chance in the general election. Rubio is young, handsome and could pass as a democrat just looking at him. Remember JFK? Rubio has a Presidential presence about him. I have seen him speak where he came across as very "cool" which will be beneficial and the few times where he was a bit "nervous" I chalk up too youth. He will just get better throughout the process. So can Rubio win? Yes! I think the real question is can he lead?

In closing...
"You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us to silence and into inaction."- Marco Rubio
