Presidential election
Is Marco Rubio the laughing third?
In the US primaries in New Hampshire, Marco Rubio, for many of the new hopefuls of the Republican. How does it differ from Donald Trump and Ted Cruz? From New Hampshire reported Ines Pohl.
And, Presto, the Establishment has a new beacon of hope has identified: Marco Rubio. Even if he is in the recent debate on Saturday night, not a happy character has made – the Senator from Florida is currently the Only one the Republicans trust that he is their nightmare called Donald Trump quits.
The suave, boyish mid should the blustering businessman finally Lose lessons and by the way the Evangelical hardliners Ted Cruz in his place, and at best equal this Tuesday, in the second round of the primaries, traditionally in New Hampshire takes place and the significant influence on the appointment of the presidential candidates is attributed.
This sudden, Rubio-euphoria expresses primarily one thing: how desperate many of the righteous Republican politicians and business people about the personnel, with the White house to take back want.
Although Trump the first
Area code in Iowa only occupies the second place, but at least he came to 24 percent of the vote. The Republican vote probably noticed, because in a “Caucus,” as the area code, among other things, Iowa is may only be registered voters of the respective party’s vote – unlike the “Primaries” as they are in New Hampshire will be held.
Led the Republicans in Iowa: Donald Trump (r.) and Ted Cruz
Also this is why knowing the policy professionals of the Republicans, Ted Cruz and his radical Evangelical worldview in a state like Iowa can score, but he’s not in a position to be, the party to unite, nor appropriate majorities in the population as a whole to win.
“At the beginning of siegen the Extreme”
Now, it would be no novelty in the history of the United States that at the beginning of an election campaign, the Extreme victories, in the course of the primaries, but then more moderate politicians to enforce. But this year everything seems different. And everything is possible.
And not just because there are candidates like Trump and Cruz at all so far managed to create, although they are from the Republican Establishment more or less openly rejected. But above all, because a candidate of the middle is missing, the serious prospects of success would have.
Jeb Bush about was in Iowa just three per cent of the voters to win. He cuts next Tuesday in New Hampshire similarly disastrous, it would be the former Governor of Florida be over before it really started.

Because of an election campaign in the United States devours huge sums. And the donors only invest in candidates, the early show, that they are not only surveys, but also actually votes can win. There is a big Name certainly, good start-up capital. If not supplied, pulls out the money quickly. And – at least for the Moment – it looks like, as could Marco Rubio at the end of the laughing third.
“Weltgewordener American dream”
His biggest strength is his biography: His rise to power as the son of Cuban immigrants, is a kind of fleischgewordener American dream. Even if reluctantly understands the party slowly, that she has to find a way, even for America’s Latinos selectable to be. The first seems to be Rubio to be the ideal candidate.
As a Senator he sat also for a more affordable access to universities. This is obviously important to younger voters to win. Because that’s exactly what could Bernie Sanders – Hillary Clinton’s rival for the democratic presidential nomination of the Democratic party – even across party lines,
when the “Millennials” points, so voters in the 80s and 90s vintages.
More complicated but is it in the immigration policy. As a newcomer to Washington, had the now 44-year-old Rubio for a liberal legislative reform. But when he realized that he with his supporters from the Tea Party movement hurt, he moved quickly to his Position. Now he sounds like a polished Trump, the possible, all immigration to stop will. This unreliability could to him by his opponent in more detail under our noses.
Its dynamic, cosmopolitan, should Occur not about wegtäuschen which program Rubio in the election campaign draws. He wants to, although taxes are generally lower, but particularly for businesses. Like all the conservative candidates, he wants the influence of the state limit, the environment he believes over-hyped, the state environmental Inspectorate should, in his view, accordingly be reduced. For his claim that it was not proven that humans contribute to climate change, he gets not only a lot of applause at the Republican base, but also non-monetary advantages for entrepreneurs, and Großspendern.
Family as asset: Marco Rubio, son of Cuban immigrants
Rubio is for the death penalty and against the equality of Gays and lesbians. When it comes to the “security risk Muslims” goes, he sounds increasingly like Donald Trump, the topic of foreign policy is increasingly looking like George W. Bush: He praises not only the omnipotence of the American military, but also considers torture to be a legitimate means of finding truth.
That a man with such principles as the more moderate party supporters, the bridges in the various warehouse building, show how far right the Republicans in recent years have moved.
“Not afraid of New Hampshire”
On the elections in New Hampshire should Marco Rubio be happy. In contrast to his enemies. Can Trump this state does not win, many will do anything to ensure that this defeat its decline heralds. And for Ted Cruz in New Hampshire, the first real test on reality. Because all too much says this is the first victory in many places, became an Evangelical-dominated Iowa, not yet.
For Rubio would be another third place good rather than bad. He is the second, is an extreme boost to his supporters trigger. And he wins at all, it may be speculated whether Jeb Bush really only after the next elections in South Carolina will throw in the towel.
