(Ifoto ngu-Andrew Burton / imifanekiso ka-Getty) Xa uMarco Rubio waqala ukunyulwa kwi-Senate yase-US ngo-2010, bambalwa kakhulu abantu ababenokucinga ukuba i-Tea Party firebrand, eyayiphumelele ekuphumeleleni okuphambili kwiRhuluneli yaseFlorida uCharlie Crist, yayiza kuvela ngasekupheleni kuka-2015 njengomgqatswa okhethiweyo weRiphabhlikhi. Ukusekwa kweqela. Nangona kunjalo, ngeziprayimari zokuqala kunye neegucucus kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa kude, oku kuya ngokujongeka kunjalo. Ukudityaniswa kokungalindelwanga, kodwa ukubhengezwa kokuwa kuka-Jeb Bush, ukuvela kukaDonald Trump kunye noBen Carson bomelele, ukuba yinto ethandabuzekayo nengalunganga, abagqatswa abangenabo ubudlelwane bokwenene kubunkokheli be-GOP kunye nokuzimisela kukaSenator waseTexas uTed Cruz, obonisa ngokwakhe ngasekunene kuka Mnu Rubio, ulishiyile i-Florida Senator kwesi sikhundla.
Ukuze uMnu Rubio aphumelele inkxaso kwiqela elisekwe ngumbutho, indawo eyayifanele ukuba ilawulwe nguMnu.Bush, konke awayekufanele akwenze yayikukubonisa imbeko kunye ngoncumo ngelixa kungafuneki ajike kwiimbono zakhe zasekunene.
Ekuboneni kuqala umgama ukusuka kwiTi Party darling ukuya kumgqatswa othandwayo weRiphabhlikhi ubonakala ngathi inde indlela, kodwa ukukhululeka kukaMnu Rubio ukwenza olu tshintsho kutyhila okuninzi malunga nokwenzekayo ngokwenene kwiPublic Republic Party yanamhlanje. Kuqala, kuyaphindaphinda ukuba akusekho liphiko leqela liphakathi. Namhlanje, iilebheli ezingaphakathi kwe-GOP ezinje ngokumodareyitha kunye nolondolozo zibhekisa kancinci kwimibuzo yeengcinga nangaphezulu kwimibuzo yobushushu. Abantu abanjengoMnu Rubio kunye noMnu. UMnu Bush ilawulwa njengendalo eFlorida kunye noMnu Rubio ngokubanzi, ngaphandle kwemicimbi enxulumene nokufuduka, wazibeka ngasekunene nokuba ngowowuphi na umthetho wepalamente waseFlorida okanye iNdlu yeeNgwevu yase-U.S . Ke, ukuze uMnu Rubio aphumelele inkxaso kwiqela elisekwe ngumbutho, indawo eyayifanele ukuba ilawulwe nguMnu.Bush, konke awayekufanele akwenze yayikukuzibonakalisa ngentlonelo kwaye encumile ngelixa kungafuneki ukuba ajike kwimibono yakhe yephiko lasekunene. . Leyo yayiyindlela yezopolitiko yokuba iiRiphabhlikhi ezimbini zokugqibela zokuphumelela kwi-White House, ziqeshwe nguGeorge W. Bush noRonald Reagan.
Okwangoku, iinkokheli zepakethi ephambili yaseRiphabhlikhi nguGqirha Carson kunye noMnu Trump, kodwa ukuba abo bapolitiki babini banamava bayasilela, ugqatso lunokwehla luye kuMnu Cruz noMnu Rubio, Okwangoku abagqatswa abakhokelayo kulonyulo oluninzi . Olu iya kuba luphuhliso olunomdla ngezizathu ezininzi. Okokuqala, ukuba uMnu Cruz noMnu Rubio ngamagosa amabini okugqibela anyuliweyo emi kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseprayimari iya kuba luphawu lokuwa kwephulo likaMnu. Bush. Ukonyulwa okuqinisekileyo kukaJeb Bush bekuya kumthintela uMnu.Rubio (njengo Mnu. Bush njengeFloridian). Ngokufanayo, uthungelwano losapho lakwaBush eTexas bekufanele ukuba lukwazi ukonakalisa uMnu. Cruz.
Ithemba lababini beRiphabhlikhi abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-50 kwaye abangabantwana babafuduki baseCuba abalwa nayo iya kuba luphuculo oluhle kwabo baseRiphabhlikhi abakholelwa ukuba iqela lifuna inkxaso engaphezulu yeLatino ukuze ikhuphisane kwinqanaba likazwelonke.
