How can Rubio beat Clinton?

[Sir Mohamed]

At first, pick John Kasich as VP. These two are the best running mates the GOP can offer this year (although I prefer Kasich as prez and Rubio as VP). Second, present himself as a fresh alternative to Hillary, who represents the past and the establishment.

This here might be a path for Rubio to capture the presidency. I think WI is a little more likely to flip to the GOP than PA. Both are Close, within 1%, in that scenario:

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)/Governor John Kasich (R-OH): 278 EV. (49.9%)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/HUD Secretary Julian Castro (D-TX): 260 EV. (48.9%)

Two winners tonight. Clinton and Rubio.

They are the most likely nominees now.

Let's look at this map:

This is the most likely map of real swing states in a Clinton vs. Rubio GE.
I find it very difficult to see how Rubio can beat Clinton. He needs to run the table here.

Wait a minute. You just gave Colorado to Rubio? Not buying it. Colorado is a swing state.

FL is also a toss-up. Rubio isn’t that popular with latinos, and Castro as Dem VP gives Hillary a shot in the sunshine state.
