HIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST THAT HE'S NEVER HELD THAT PRESIDENT-LIKE JOB...:
Marco Rubio: 'Being President of the United States Is Not Like Being a Governor' (INES DE LA CUETARA, Dec 23, 2015, ABC News)
At a Marco Rubio rally in Littleton, New Hampshire, 29-year-old Danielle Matteson had a pressing question for the candidate."What is your response to those who question your ability to hold this nation's highest executive role, given that many of your competitors have had previous executive experience, either at the private sector or at the state level?" she asked Rubio."There is no such thing as experience that fully prepares you for the presidency," Rubio replied. "Being President of the United States is not like being a governor."Matteson's question is one that repeatedly came up over the course of Rubio's three-day swing in New Hampshire, where Rubio must prove to voters he is more qualified to be president than the three candidates with gubernatorial experience that are up against him -- Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and John Kasich. All four Republican candidates are fighting to win the state as their party's establishment candidate.
...but that he's never had any president-like job. Even Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump, while they've been lousy ones, have been executives, at least of the corporate sort.
