I mean, that's a pretty hyperbolic interpretation. I think the argument is that Rubio would "help attract" (not unilaterally garner the votes of) young people who wouldn't have otherwise voted for another old white Republican. Rubio's a fresh, persuasive, telegenic face, and it politics that does matter.How fucking cynical is that statement? Young people vote for attractive people? I get this guy is trying to build a ticket to win, and abhorr that winning is more important than any issue, but that's the best you can do? Rubio is handsome? Old White Man/Handsome Cuban 2016, put your money on that because we can win Ohio, Florida and the shallow vote.
