I liked this op-ed from The Algemeiner, Why I, an American-Israeli, Support Marco Rubio for President. Writer Douglas Altabef discusses the candidates in regards to Israel, and he concludes, "His personal story, background, youth and understanding of issues have
impressed a broad spectrum of the electorate. He consistently polls as being the
most electable of the Republicans.
Rubio can and would defeat Clinton in an election. The numbers showing up for
voting in Republican versus Democratic primaries clearly contrast the excitement
and desire level in 2016. The advantage is all to the GOP. Plus, if Rubio were
to run with Kasich, a popular governor of Ohio, he would have strength in the
two most important states in recent elections — Florida and Ohio — as well as a
strong appeal to independents and moderate Democrats.
Also, at the end of the day, Americans want to vote for their hopes and not
just their fears. Rubio offers hope; Clinton offers a déjà vu and reality that
it’s all about her and the Clintons, and their situational ethics and
cronyism.
So with that combination of being a true friend of ours, and a man who could
very well wrest the presidency away from Democrats increasingly hostile to
Israel, Marco Rubio is, for this American Israeli, the clear choice for
president in 2016."
