This speech by Rubio is fascinating - I've talked about him before as someone to watch, not simply because he's young and a Latino with a great backstory, but because he's one of the best if not indeed the best contender out there when it comes to public speaking - especially when it comes to foreign policy. Now, foreign policy usually doesn't play a big role in elections, namely because the average voter spends little time thinking about it since it's a complex subject difficult to understand - but way things are going, could be a big if not huge factor in 2016, and that favors Rubio - and if speeches like this succeed in shaming enough Democrats into not boycotting Netanyahu if he does indeed go through with an address to Congress, then Rubio's stock rises sharply [although I still think he's running for the VP slot]. I gotta believe this speech is playing extremely well in Israel.
