On a relatively slow news day, Christian Heinze rolls out the ball on the 2016 campaign with five provocative statements about the presidential race, including:
Jeb’s ego > Jeb’s ambition
“(H)ere’s what Jeb would face with a 2016 run.
“Loss of post-partisan image + loss of nomination = that sucks.
“If he passes on a run, he keeps both things, and can continue to nurture his post-partisan image and statesmanlike hue.
“Jeb knows all this, and that’s why I ultimately think his ego with trump his ambition, and he won’t run.”
and …
Marco’s physical liabilities > Marco’s ethical issues
“Never underestimate the importance of height or looks in the age of social media and celebrity politics. It matters more than just about everything else.
“Now, it’d be one thing if Rubio came up short on height alone, but it’s amplified by the fact he looks so young.
“Take a look at some of these pics, and remember, height + youth = lack of gravitas.”
