Rubio's stance on no abortion even in cases of rape and incest is going to kill him if he gets into a general election against Hillary Clinton. Thats to the right and considered extremist by the vast majority of the country not named sklansky. More women vote every election. That will be more pronounced in an election with a woman at the top of the ticket. Plus, he's just not there yet as a candidate. He's the most viable though still. There is a way for him to win by offsetting her huge female advantage by getting a larger piece of Hispanic vote. I've heard Mexicans downplay Cubans as real Latinos or things along that line. Don't know if thats a real thing. I live in the least Hispanic area of the country, so I don't have a lot of people to gauge.

Fiorina is an excellent communicator, but she seems to be fading hard and I think her window has closed. Her resume as a business leader is just too poor. She killed those first two debates, but her bumps upward didnt sustain, and she didn't excel in this one from everything I've heard. Was out last night and have yet to see it.

Despite huge demographic hurdles I liked the Republicans chances a month ago. Now, I'm not seeing it, but a year is a long time and external factors change things quickly
